    this has been an issue forever now and now that it is no longer in preview i expected it to be fixed.

    here a video of the issue:


    i guess things happen as follows:
    touch events get consumed by on-screen stick => sends gamepad input => player input switches to gamepad => touch event gets canceled since gamepad is now active

    am i simply configuring it wrong or how come this has not come up yet anywhere?

    Would you mind please to file a bug (Help->Report a Bug) and we will have a look, thanks!

    I was recently fixing related issue to Keyboard.current going null related to On-Screen controls getting enabled/disabled, so likely there is a similar situation where on-screen control calls MakeCurrent and confuses Player Input.

    We probably need to rethink whole Device.current situation, it feels like a suboptimal approach, maybe Device.any would make more sense, e.g. Keyboard.any.spaceKey.wasPressedThisFrame would cover both physical keyboard and on-screen keyboard at a same time.

    yea not sure what the optimal solution to this is. i have not yet needed multiple input devices so not sure how any would work with that
