Palworld controller input is wrong or not detected, how do I fix it?

Question

Palworld is reading my controller weird. Sometimes it does not detect it, sometimes buttons are swapped, and sometimes I get double inputs in menus. The controller works in other games. I am using Steam, but I am not sure if Steam Input is helping or making it worse. Anyone got a clean setup?

Controller weirdness in Palworld is usually Steam Input stacking on top of native input. Try this: 1. Close Palworld. 2. In Steam, right-click Palworld. 3. Properties → Controller. 4. Test “Disable Steam Input” first. 5. If that fails, test “Enable Steam Input.” 6. Do not leave both Steam config and third-party controller tools active. 7. Unplug extra controllers, wheels, and virtual gamepads. 8. Restart Steam before testing again.
