7 months ago For reference, here's the same issue report I made on Dolphin's Flatpak repo, and they mentioned fixing this based on a mainline Dolphin fix found here: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13412
Seems to have been fixed in Dolphin 5.0-20923 with this specific commit: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/c3b8aa1fe582d9798939a1975e559ad4a69c3f02 However, as of today, PrimeHack's current version on Steam Deck is bd2591a, with the exact version of the revision being bd2591a28ab4a367a3f11f65059e07314a13f081 For comparison, main Dolphin on SteamOS through Flatpak is currently at version 5.0-21088, and this one does seem to behave properly with Steam's inputs, both in Desktop and Game modes.

Running any PrimeHack game through SteamOS glitches out the inputs when it comes to Steam in general, be it in Big Picture Mode (the one used for Gaming mode in SteamOS for Steam Deck) or in Desktop Mode. What happens is that upon opening PrimeHack by itself, the inputs start behaving weirdly, and this also applies to any game that relies on PrimeHack.
When opening the overlay the inputs are somewhat messed up.
Trying to press the D-Pad to navigate the Steam Overlay gives double inputs, for example, trying to press up automatically changes the selected option to 2 options above the previous one. The same happens when pressing down, right or left, so it's basically a double input with the D-Pad. Not only that, but other buttons behave oddly, for example pressing the B Button on the Deck opens up the Overlay when in the main menu, but pressing B again to close it simply opens it up again, so you can't close the Overlay with the B Button, only way to close it is with the "Steam" button.
Additionally, trying to play through SteamOS Desktop mode also has it's own share of issues. Trying to switch to any other application outside of PrimeHack breaks the On-screen keyboard, while the keyboard does pop up, you cannot type with it as it normally would, since it seems to be trying to make a click wherever the mouse arrow is, instead of where the highlighted key is on the keyboard. Also, the trackpad starts functioning oddly as soon as PrimeHack opens up in Desktop mode, it becomes way too sensitive and starts clicking without doing a full trackpad press.
These are just some of the issues I have stumbled upon, but it seems like others are also experiencing this. I'm not sure if this issue is solely related to PrimeHack or if it also affects Dolphin itself, since I have yet to try Dolphin on its own in my Steam Deck, but some people seem to have also experienced this with Dolphin as well:

For some, rolling back to previous versions of the Flatpak seems to make it work, but that means that the current latest version that the package manager uses will always download the current one with the input issues.
For reference, when in gaming mode, the issue corrects itself if you put the Steam Deck to sleep by pressing the power button. However, if you're running a PrimeHack game, upon awakening the Steam Deck, the issue comes back up in just a few moments, the issue only corrects itself when PrimeHack is not opened at all. This doesn't work for Desktop Mode, however.
