Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1660881852
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): SteamOS 3.3.1 (20220810.100)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On the current Preview branch of SteamOS, the Joystick Mouse feature will only output mouse movement when your finger is touching the capacitive touch sensor. This results in the joystick being very uncomfortable to use, as generally your fingertip isn't constantly on the top of the stick.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Boot any game with mouse support, and try using the Joystick Mouse feature. You should notice that the stick will not move the mouse cursor unless touching the sensor. Nudging the joystick with your thumb nail is the surest way to reproduce the issue.

This was fixed in an Unstable update sometime after reporting. The feature is working as expected on Steam Client version 1662598759.
