I ask this because sometimes I want to play with my external monitor and an external control, like dualsense, but some games like Days gone, it has issues with two controllers connected (Asus Rog Ally integrated control and Dualsense). Before the update 44, I could hide the integrated control through HHD (Handheld Daemon), even now, I can’t do it.

I found a way to disable the input plumber, running these commands on a terminal:

`sudo systemctl stop inputplumber && sudo systemctl disable inputplumber`

This command only disable the integrated joystick of the handheld, if you connect an external joystick, the OS will be recognize it.

I think when you restant the console the service will initiate automatically, but if you want to initiate it manually, just run this other command:

`sudo systemctl enable --now inputplumber`
