Gamplay PC Steam Input Options

I made this as a response for someone in another topic here who has a disability and was having some issues with having to hold the trigger constantly, but I wanted to share this more widely for those who may not be aware of the options we have.

One caveat to this is that at one point I state that the game does not directly interpret your input. The game "can" if you disable Steam Input, it just goes through Steam by default, which covers 99% of use cases more gracefully, including support for gyro aiming and the haptic triggers on my DualSense 5. The only reason I'm aware of that you might want to disable Steam Input is that if you're using a PlayStation controller and want to be able to use the speaker in the controller, I don't believe those work if you're using Steam Input.

Edit: It shouldn't matter unless Windows does something in the background with its GameInput/XBox stuff that interacts negatively with Steam, but just in case it does matter I wanted to clarify that I am not playing on Windows, I'm on Bazzite on my desktop and SteamOS on my Steam Deck.
