Game controls do not work well on the Steam Deck

Obviously INFRA was one of the first games I tried on the Steam Deck, but it seems that the controls for the game do not work on Deck.

Able to control the main menu just fine, however once you start playing you are not able to progress past the presentation at the office. I tried every button on the Deck but none of them let me either advance the presentation or stand up to skip it. I'm not sure if this is just a controller issue in general or not, since I don't have another controller to test it with.

Skipping office and going to reserve1 it seems that the only two controls that work are the left D-pad brings up the flashlight and the 'start' button (three horizontal lines on the right side) opens the phone. Not able to move, look around, or do anything else in the game.

Added the following custom controls via Steam Input editor and it seems to work fine, hopefully these could just be added directly into the game:

A button => Keyboard E
B button => Keyboard R
X button => Scroll wheel up
Y button => Keyboard F
Right Joystick => Joystick Mouse
Left Joystick => Directional Pad
- Up => Keyboard W
- Left => Keyboard A
- Down => Keyboard S
- Right => Keyboard D
- Click -> Keyboard Shift
Right Trackpad => As mouse
- Click => Left mouse click
Left Trackpad => Single Button
- Click => Keyboard Enter
Left Bumper (L1) => Keyboard ESC

I think the trackpad works better for looking around, feels smoother than the joystick to me, but I guess that would just be a personal preference depending on the player.

Currently Valve has labeled INFRA as "Unsupported" for the Deck, but I would love to see this change as this game is still one of my favorites. Performance for the game seems fine and the only problem I've found so far is with the controls, will update this issue if I find anything else.
