As of the past 2 days. using a gamepad controller (Xbox Series-S in my case) has been nearly impossible for any game or any placefile in Roblox Studio. Re-installing both the player and studio did nothing to fix this bug.
Unfortunately, I only own one Xbox controller so I am unable to test this issue with multiple gamepads. However, my controller works fine in games such as Elden Ring and shows no odd behavior on websites that allow me to test gamepad input.

Issues the video demonstrates:
-
Turning the Right Stick causes the camera to zip around at immensely high speeds. The esc menu option for camera speed doesn’t affect it at all.
-
Trying to move with the Left Thumbstick is extremely unpredictable. It seems as if Roblox is fighting for control over the gamepad with my mouse or PC, seen with the constant flickering between the gamepad dot cursor and the mouse cursor. These disruptions completely cancel out input from the Left Stick when moving around.
System Information:
Windows 11 23H2

Repro:
Connect a gamepad controller using a cable to your PC. Open a new baseplate and test the camera and left stick. Results should match the video provided.
