I used to be able to use my joystick buttons on a lot of games but now steam won't detect them. Windows detects the buttons but steam won't. Is there any way around this?

Try going into the Steam settings and make sure that the appropriate controller is enabled for steam input. I had the same issue recently when switching from an Xbox controller to a Gulikit. Enabling Xbox input in Steam fixed it - even though the new controller is not an Xbox controller, and a real Xbox controller worked fine without enabling it.
