additional mice not being recognized right away

i can only use the default mouse (in this case the steam deck touchpad) now. opening steam makes the mouse unusable. (steam deck) unsure if it's a hardware issue. as i was writing this it fixed itself, but upon every boot it takes extra long to recognize additional mice. *desktop, just updated today
Solution:
it has been fixed by opening and then closing the keyboard using the touchpad to close it.

to clarify my mouse lit up like normal, it just took a minute to function. and steam opening also effected the mouse, which is why i grouped it together. the steam disabling my mouse appears to be a separate issue.
