I can't say precicely when it began failing, but some time earlier this year or late last year the trackpad buttons (pressing down on the left, right, or center of the trackpad) on the DualSense 5 controller began to no longer function for me. I am connected via bluetooth to the hardware Steam Link. I've tried two different controllers, however neither appear to respond in-games or via the controller testing settings on Steam itself.

The touch functionality works great still. For example, I can swipe around while playing Ghost of Tsushima and that is fine, but trying to open the map in a Yakuza game by pressing on the button in any area of the pad does not work.

I've tried exploring the Steam Input settings in hopes of rebinding it for games that do not have full button remapping support. Unfortunately, when trying to edit controller layouts it only provides the "standard" buttons that might be found on a generic controller, and does not offer the option to select one of the touchpad sides to be rebound.

Any suggestions or support would be greatly appreciated!
