Cursor not moving on desktop mode

I decided to set up a dual boot on my ROG Ally X today and got everything set up and working well but after a few hours the old armory crate button no longer really works for switching to cursor mode when in desktop mode. Instead it allows for movement for roughly half a second after being pressed then stops responding again. Other than that everything else is working and looking absolutely amazing!

You need to hold it

HHD is the purple sidebar where you chan change the controller type, tdp and other things for your device opened by double tapping the QAM button (right menu button when youre in gamemode)

If you want the steam one Swap the rog buttkns Then hold select as you would on a steam deck

what do you mean by swap the rog buttons?
HikariKnight

setting in hhd it swaps start and select with the rog buttons since the rog buttons can not be held to work as a steam chord
Joe

so like put it as the top button instead of the bottom one like it is now? sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions I just want to make sure I got this correct

yep essentially the rog buttons will function as start/select (the switch to desktop controls button does not move, its a firmware thing) while the start/select buttons will work as the STEAM and QAM button means you can hold down the physical start or select buttons to use steam chords like the minimal desktop control scheme which is available while holding down the steam/guide button on any other controller (which on most controllers will also turn off the controller sadly if its an external controller)
