Unable to play some games after docking
This happened to me in a couple of games (Nioh being the latest): after playing the game with the deck docked (using an external monitor and controller), I can no longer play it on the deck itself because it seems the game no longer registers the deck's buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?

If a controller is still connected (Bluetooth?) it may be a controller order issue, you can try reordering them.
the controller was not connect, but controller order did fix it
Like ostsjoe said, you probably need to reorder your controllers and set the deck to be controller 1. You can do this in two places:
Open the QAM menu (the ". . ." button), open the gear tab, and there should be a "reorder controllers" button. This button only appears if additional controllers are connected, or if the Deck is currently set to a controller slot other than 1.
Press the steam button, and open the controller configuration menu for the game. At the top there should be a button to reorder the controllers.
Rarely I've also had where a game identified a controller in spot 2/etc as the one I was playing with, and the deck had to be set to that controller slot for the game to work until I relaunched the game.
thanks!
@SirMino I can usually solve it by changing the controller order from the three dots menu
it took me some time to find the controller order but that solve the issue, thanks!
