Troubleshooting Stuck Input Issues with the Saitek Farming Simulator Controller

As a fan of Farming Simulator 22, I've recently encountered an issue with my trusty Saitek Farming Simulator Controller. The controller's switches were singing out RCS, SAS, Gear, and Brakes, while the ten buttons above screamed Action Groups at me. The thumbwheel was designated for cruise control (throttle), and it was designed to toggle between two sets of control sets for 6DOF stick control. I could already see a lot of potential for this controller, but unfortunately, it was plagued by stuck input issues.

After struggling with the issue, I decided to take matters into my own hands and dig deeper. First, I closed out of Steam entirely and restarted my computer, then booted up Farming Simulator 22. However, the problem persisted. Next, I clicked on the drop-down menu above the 'Steam Input Status' window, selected 'Disable Steam Input', and navigated to the main menu. There, I activated Steam's Big Picture Mode by clicking on a small box at the top right with arrows pointing in opposite corners.

To my surprise, disabling Steam Input resolved the issue, and my side panel began working normally again. But what caused this problem in the first place? After some research, I discovered a similar Steam forum post that pointed to a possible compatibility issue with the Steam controller layout. As it turned out, when I touched the mode button on the joystick, it became infinitely stuck on moving left for some reason.

If you're also experiencing stuck input issues with your Saitek Farming Simulator Controller and are using Steam, don't worry – you're not alone! By following these simple steps, I was able to resolve the problem and get back to enjoying my favorite game.
