Known issue: trackpad/mouse input can go dead after switching to Desktop mode #245

Description

@emerytech

After switching the box to Desktop mode (Couch Mode → "Switch to Desktop", or Steam's own power menu), the phone's trackpad / mouse input may stop responding — the cursor stops moving.

Affected platforms: currently reported and verified on Bazzite. SteamOS may also be affected — to be confirmed with further testing; this issue will be updated.

We're actively working on a fix.

Workaround (restores it right away)

Fully close the Couchside app and reopen it. That re-establishes the connection and the trackpad works again.

Buttons, keyboard, and gamepad input are unaffected — this is specific to mouse/trackpad after a desktop switch.
