Hi there! Hope you're doing good.

I noticed a regression from 1.3.19 to 1.3.20. I'm playing with a Wacom Movink Pad (Wacom DTAH116), which is an Android tablet with a tactile pen, and it supports tracking the stylus hovering over the tablet. When playing Balatro, I use the Mouse direct cursor, and hovering with the stylus moves the cursor, and taping with it does a left click, which is perfect for me.
However, since 1.3.20, this doesn't work anymore with the same settings. Hovering doesn't move the cursor, and I have to tap once to move the cursor to the position, then a second time to do a left click.
I managed to install 1.3.19 via APKMirror and it does bring back this behavior, so I can confirm that the regression is from 1.3.20. Two other things I noticed is that on 1.3.19 I did have a warning saying that my device isn't known, while on 1.3.20 (after reinstalling it) I didn't get it. Also on 1.3.19 there are 3 mouse options: Direct cursor, trackpad and trackpad cursor. However, even though I don't use it, the trackpad cursor option is missing in 1.3.20.

One more thing, to help people having issues on never versions, or to reproduce bugs, would you be able to share a direct link to the APK specific version in these posts in the future?

Thank you in advance for your help, let me know if you need any more input from my end. Have a good day!
The trackpad cursor disappeared for me yesterday and I used it a lot.
(Used it on my phone)
Will it com back?
not working, on touch pad mode the mouse is stuck on top left side of screen please fix it, for right now i downgrade to last version(one down), please fix it
It's not just that Trackpad Cursor mode disappeared, Trackpad mode is different in 1.3.20 too.

In https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1888830141, it says Trackpad Cursor mode 'In some games, the cursor will be extremely sensitive when using Trackpad Cursor.' I had exactly this issue and deliberately avoided Trackpad Cursor.

Now in 1.3.20, using Trackpad mode, which worked perfectly for me, I am facing the sensitivity issue. It seems these two modes are somehow merged in 1.3.20, and the new merged Trackpad mode inherited some underlying mechanics from the disappeared Trackpad Cursor.

Downgrading to 1.3.19 fixed this issue for me.

Since the change log didn't mention anything regarding mouse modes, is this a bug? Will we get the old Trackpad mode behaviour back?

Could you (or anyone else affected by this) elaborate on which games are affected? That'll help in trying to track down if there's a way to improve the behavior overall.
Actually, here, I'm going to just make a thread to collect data on folks affected by the trackpad change: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/4/785451333487434387/
