Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1671675017
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): SteamOS 3.4.4
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When you bind a button / keyboard key to one of your 4 back grip buttons and start a Non-Steam game, the button will work as expected. If you use the Shortcut Steam + Left Stick Up/Down (to change screen brightness), the 4 back grip buttons will stop working for 2-3 seconds before resuming their set function. If you use ... (the button to open the Quick Access Menu) + Left Stick Up/Down, the 4 back grip buttons will stop working ENTIRELY, never returning to their usual function until you open the Steam menu and close it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start a Non-Steam game
  2. Enable the Grip Buttons and set some sort of Keybind to them
  3. Press Steam + Left Stick Up/Down or ... + Left Stick Up/Down
  4. Described behaviour as above should happen

Can confirm the same behavior on my end. Please Valve, take a look at it.
