this issue came out of nowhere, the main issue i have is related with “steam” and “…” buttons its where steam thinks im spam clicking/holding them so the menu keeps showing up and sometimes shows the shortcut menu (especially when turned on) and when the “steam” and “…” buttons dont seem to be detected holding/spam clicking it those buttons dont work and trigger random shortcuts (example: shortcut “steam” button + left joystick will force the joystick to change my brightness instead of navigating a ui/moving in a game)
the “steam” and “…” buttons detected spam clicking/holding is not as common as random shortcuts being triggered so i only got a picture of proof that the “steam” button is randomly getting held and the shortcuts menu is showing up This problem is annoying.
This might seem like a weird fix but if you do happen to take apart the steam deck it can’t hurt to clean the stuck button with something like electrical contact cleaner (or 99% isopropyl alcohol), and then dry it with compressed air. That way any dust or debris that might cause a button to stick would be cleared away (hopefully).
I use electric contact cleaner to clean all my controllers when they get sticky buttons or stick drift. You don’t even need to disassemble it, just turn off the deck/controller, spray the cleaner in around the button/joystick that’s not working right, press the button/move the stick around some, and then wait a couple minutes before turning it back on.
Only important thing to remember is that you need to make sure the contact cleaner you buy is plastic safe, some aren’t. I’ve had really good results with CRC brand QD cleaner, and it’s available at a lot of stores.
