4 months ago Please stop the Steam client before trying with one of the affected games (if they run outside of Steam). I suspect that the game may see inputs from the controller and the Steam Virtual controller.
Also, run evtest and click single buttons to see if they cause double input. Be sure to not touch the analog sticks otherwise it's not easy to see if there was a double input.
I've seen issues where Proton would see the controller twice, once via xpadneo directly, and once via SDL2 as Steam Virtual Controller, and transmit inputs from both copies to games... If this happens in Proton games, we need a wine log with specific settings (I'll have to figure this out first, let's see, if we need it).
I sometimes see double-input in Elite Dangerous but I always attributed it to the game: never seen in other games, and it happens for mouse clicks there (which actually puts you into open game mode because this button is on the next page after "play" in the same position). So I rather believe there's something in Proton or Steam Input causing it because it also affects other devices - at least for me. The effect is quite random, it rarely happens but it happens once in a while.

Severity / Impact
Describe the Bug
I'm using the TP-Link UB400 Nano to connect the Pad via Bluetooth. Mostly it works fine and i don't notice any input lag or delay however pretty randomly it seems like there is happening some "double-input" or even what i'd call "contra-input" right after a Button-Press. An example would be that after Pressing "A" it is again pressed in a very fast and unnatural way. Though i also witnessed that for example after pressing "B" - "A" will pressed right after. Same goes for different combinations. It mostly seems to be the case with the YXBA buttons. I have only saw it happening once on the D-Pad so far ( however that could be a coincidence). So far i only saw this happening on Retroarch (Steam). With both Steam-Input enabled/disabled. I haven't yet noticed it in any bigger Games.. but the reason might be because these games aren't as sensitive to button Presses as some Retro-Games.
Steps to Reproduce
The best way to reproduce it is to play NES Game "Dr. Mario" with Retroarch/Mesen Core. I'd say it happens like once in a Hour of Playtime (though not always - can be more often or less). There it can be noticed pretty good since the Pill then will turn in a way that you don't want.
Expected Behavior
no random presses.

Additional Context
My Firmware is up to date and the Pad is pretty new as well. I previously also used a 8Bitdo Controller in combination with that Bluetooth Dongle which didn't have the issue - though i didn't use xpadneo (it worked without any additional software). I'm like 30cm away from the Dongle during playing. I know that this still might be a Connection related issue. Though i just want to get certain, since i'm already thinking about replacing the Pad since this can kinda annoying when playing Retro Games.
