Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When playing games with native or steam input dpad support, rapid movement around the dpad can lead to a stuck key until pressed again. For instance, playing a 2D platformer, navigating an intense fight and dodging attacks rapidly will lead to the player running in the wrong direction until the key is pressed again.

Also of note, dpad inputs do not register in the controller “Test Device Inputs” of SteamOS.
