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!
I use an Xbox controller instead, works perfectly.
I’m glad I works for you, personally I hate the cockeyed non symmetrical joystick button layout. Ergonomically uncomfortable. Also one it the reasons I never really play my switch any longer.
There is no way the PS layout is more comfortable. The left joystick is where it is on every other controller because that is where your thumb goes naturally.
Even on the other side, the face buttons are used much more commonly than the right stick in most cases. So they put the face buttons there because it’s where your thumb naturally goes.
Typically it’s not enough more uncomfortable to complain about it if I was like playing at a friend’s place (not that that happens anymore in these last generations, but it was huuuuuuuge in the early 90s), but still more than enough of a difference to never buy one.
What is the argument that the asymmetrical comfort zones you seem to have for each hand make any sense? The joystick placement may be cockeyed, but where your thumbs are comfortable should not be. I just can’t understand the argument by PS layout fanboys. Hence the question.
It is objectively not as comfortable to hold your thumb out of position.
At least assuming your hands are symmetrical. Maybe for you it is more accurate to do that, but it is not more comfortable.
I saw someone else in the comments recommend disabling the trackpad on the PS5 controller, maybe that’s the big difference as to why Xbox controllers don’t have this problem?
Haven’t gotten around to replying to everyone yet, still drinking coffee, thinking about posting to the dullmensclub about saying fukit, I’m going back to bed.
I’ll have to give that a go. There have been lots of good suggestions and a wealth of information for me to sort and try.
So in the great albeit butchered words of GLaDOS, Since I’m going through all the trouble of waking up, I must really love to test… And to be honest I do!
8bitdo pro controller? Works great for me. My favorite controller ever.
