Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don't even have flatpak installed. Others say it's Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?
I know it's for security but it's too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.
All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!
Are you using Steam Input Settings to map those dpad buttons? If so, try setting that back to default, then use AntiMicroX to map keyboard input to your dpad instead.
The problem with that is steam lets you configure per game. I have different keybindings depending on what game I'm playing. Not a bad suggestion to try though, would really help nail down whats partially causing the issue, steam input or the PS5 controller. Although as sp3tr4l pointed out there is probably an issue with how windowManagers are handling wayland security protocol's, penquin said he is getting this on gnome too.
