SUMMARY
I am trying to use a DS4 controller on my system. As soon as it is connected the cursor moves to the bottom right corner. It doesn't matter if the trackpad is enabled or disabled in trackpad settings.  Using another trackpad or mouse is impossible while it is connected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair/Connect DS4 controller (if requested, allow connection)

OBSERVED RESULT
Moves across the screen  to corner.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing happening. Being able to use other pointers.

Could you please attach a snippet of libinput debug-events (see https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tools.html#libinput-debug-events ) reproducing the problem?
