Issue #8886 is reappearing in the last seven beta client-versions minimum.
Also there are loads of seemingly completly identical controller-layouts to chose from ('steam input')

btw: desktop-mice are invisible / nonexistent too, this seems to be something contributing to the unavailability of mouse-look on controllers when using -gamepadui.

The secondary issue is being tracked at #8986.

Any info of how to workaround this?

Can confirm on the latest beta and stable for steam on Fedora 37. Steam games work properly but non steam games (like Games added through heroic) do not.

while #8986 seems to be fixed now with the last 3 betas, #8886 is still a problem, any news / plans on this? This is highly annoying.

#8886=lost mouse-support on all non-steam apps (mouse as well as mouse-look on controllers with steam-input).

Nothing extracted yet.
