External Controller R-Stick acting as mouse, unusable in games.

For some reason my external xbox series s controller now has the right analog stick acting as a mouse, which means it doesn't work in games. The left stick and buttons are working properly. This just changed in the last week. I've removed and re-paired the controller and the issue persists. Anyone know how/why this is happening and how to fix it'? The built in Legion Go controller still works properly, but I can't play docked with my external controller with this happening.

have you looked at your control config for the controller in Steam?

No, as I didn't modify it at all. I'll check to see if it's magically changed itself somehow. But this is also happening in non-steam games. In desktop mode, it moves the mouse cursor around. Tests properly in steam. Still being a problem in desktop and non-steam games.

you might be stuck in the desktop layout then

this happened after my last update. Prior to this it wasn't occuring. I wonder what changed.

the controller right stick being used as a mouse input is intended behavior. that's the default desktop layout configuration when you enter a game and it is stuck in the desktop layout, that is not intended depending on how your non-steam shortcut is established, it may be keeping it as a desktop-like arrangement alternatively, hold the start button to see if that switches it

Nope still happening with any non-steam game, and only with an external controller. The built in controller on my legion go is not doing this. Just my bluetooth one.
