FIXED: I'm playing a game I press a button and suddenly there's a series of random inputs that move my character.

It's every game I play so must be a default somewhere but I can't find it.

I’ve had something like this on a Playstation 3 controller a while ago.

It was a problem with some foam which got thinner with age and a contact patch.

I don’t know if the same thing could apply to a few years old Steam Deck, but the symptoms were exactly the same.

Iv had it happen on the deck controls and 2 Bluetooth controllers so it seems system related

Well that’s good news and you could maybe just reinstall everything if you don’t find another easier solution.

Check your keybindings for that game, and globally. Did you hook up macro that would do this? Was it for this game? Was it for a different game, but you set it up globally by accident?

It's every game Not sure where I can find global key bindings

Hit the Steam button, go to Settings, then Controller. Go to the Non-Game Controller Layouts, do Edit or click the gear icon and do Reset.

If that doesn't help then I'm not sure of the cause.
