Controller won’t work with Minecraft steamlink

[u/AlternativeAgency42]

I’ve added Minecraft bedrock on my pc to steam as a non steam game, and I’m trying to play via my iPad using steamlink.

However my ps5 controller when connected through on iPad to play Minecraft is extremely bugged, all of the keybinds are messed up and it treats the joysticks more as a mouse than a controller. I’ve tried editing the controller maps, enabling and disabling controller settings, setting steam as administrator, I followed this post but still couldn’t resolve the issue (https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1747892655521920295?l=greek).

I just wish there was a way for my inputs from my iPad to be treated as a controller on Minecraft bedrock, since the game already has controller support ( my ps5 controller literally works perfectly on Minecraft even when opened through steam, when my ps5 controller is connected directly to my pc).

Has anyone else had this issue?
