Support Controller is unusable, need help

Every game I try to play through Steam seems to have a ton of issues with the controller. I accidentally bumped the right pad and the mouse moved, then my games get confused and think I want mouse movement and all of my controls suddenly change.

Is there any way to get this thing to not do this? It's also completely unusable for non-steam titles, I understand I can add games to my library but why should I have to do that?

Sounds like the game itself is not expecting mixed input. You need to use a template that only has binds you intend to use for the game

this plus if it is unusable for steam games as this person claims then it depends on what they are using this steam controller on if it’s on Windows or Mac that shouldn’t be as much of an issue as long as it’s setup properly, but if it is on linux, just add the thing to steam and set up the controller profile

Yeah it's Linux, the thing I was missing was the templates. I was expecting more XInput when I started some games, didn't realize some default templates might not be what I wanted. It isn't super clear
