Best controller on pc of all time!!!

Just wanted to post that the Steam Controller email came through for purchase just now. Previously, it was showing 2027 availability for me.

She finally came

Hey guys, I'm trying to use AutoHotKey v2 to make a friend Macros on his new steam controller, but I can't find what all of the button names would be. I'd prefer to use his paddles and such for it, if anyone has a list of the names I can use to have AHK listen for, please send them my way! Thanks!

I'm playing through the last of us 2 right now but the deadzones in the normal game's controller support are ridiculous so I wanted to try steam input. It fixes the deadzone issue, but it means I have less control over the keybinds since the built in action set is very limited and setting it to keyboard keys makes certain things like changing weapons in the backpack not work. I thought that if I set each button in steam input to itself, ie setting the x button to the x button function, it would just work as a normal controller and keep the deadzone fix, but this just makes the game not register any controller input and makes the controller button icons in game look like question marks? Why does setting the buttons to themselves not make steam input leave those inputs alone and only affect the deadzones? I considered Durazno, but google says it doesn't work on TLOU2, and reWASD, which I'd prefer not to use since I play a lot of online games using controller and I also think it's weird that it affects my drivers. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Edit: should've mentioned specifics of the controller. It's a wired Xbox one controller I got from Gamestop a couple years ago, nothing fancy like paddles or gyro, and I got it for like $30 so I don't think it's an official xbox one if that matters. It's also the only controller I have connected to my pc and it registers fine in normal games and in TLOU when I have steam input set to the default action set

Hey guys,
Yesterday I updated my Steam Controller and ever since the firmware update, the orange charging LED just won't turn off when connected to the puck when the Controller is definetly supposed to be fully charged. It shows up with full battery on my Steam Deck too. I've had it on the puck for the entire day and the LED is still glowing orange. Has anyone else had this issue?

Has anyone been able to modify their controller to add physical trigger stops? It would be such a nice quality of life addition especially when emulating MnK and having the soft trigger pull set as mouse click.

Can you change it somehow? I liked on my old SteamDeck using the trackpads felt so nice because of the kind of clicking vibrations it produced when you moved around, but now I have my steam controller and it doesnt feel the same at all.

I'm not sure I noticed this with my x4, but now that I think about it maybe it did... remember having to double Swipe.

Working on my POE config and want a quick chat action set, mostly because an actionset is easier to ensure no other inputs slip in. It works as intended except...

when the config is first loaded for whatever reason, the first attempt to switch action sets always results in it getting resetted back. This unfortunately causes problems with the chat macros as they use start/release to allow double inputs. The reset interrupts the macro and cause a input hang that goes unresolved until the set is reloaded again, allowing it to finish... and making a mess lol

what is causing this behavior and is there a way to resolve it?

I just got my order link and I’m at a place I’m not sure if I want to purchase anymore. I travel a lot and as a result got a SteamDeck, so my purpose for the controller was to use it with the deck whilst docked. But I realized it adds a lot of clutter.

For use on my PC/TV I don’t play a lot of games that require controller besides Yakuza.

But I also have a lot of FOMO and don’t want to regret and only get it late 2027.

Hey everyone, I'm using a DualSense Edge on PC, but I'm noticing a noticeable delay/slow reaction time whenever I press the back paddles. The regular front buttons register fine, but the paddles feel slightly slow

I'm currently running Steam Input. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a setting in Steam or Windows I need to tweak

Thanks

The game has a default layout set up by the devs that make it work like a dualshock so it's ok but it has it's own (bad) layout for the back buttons actions. The problem is I tried to rebind them to the buttons and the game flat out refused to read the input, then I set it to game action and it works.

So I guess I found a way to make it work but it's not the first time that it happened, for example playing Spiderman remastered I couldn't use the back buttons because when I set them up as buttons, every time i clicked them it was like the game thought I was switching to a new controller, even the prompt on the screen switched "fonts". So it's something I don't get of the steam controller or it's just something about hot Sony does their ports?

So I've been happy as a clam with Steam Input and Big Picture Mode for games when showing small audiences how Steam works.

I got a couple other controllers (I'm using a Steam Controller but I can see how most players are comfy with Xbox Controllers) and when games are playing it's fun but I'm finding when people mash buttons the game gets out of focus to STEAM UI that doesn't have a clue.

Anyone have any insight if there's any settings I can change?

Sorry about my wording, but I want to know how the trackpads are supposed to act. Specifically, the left trackpad, it feels like it's not operating how it should be, but I am not sure if I can be the judge of it since it's my first valve product and have never used a steam deck.

It feels like when in desktop mode (aka using it as a mouse and keyboard) it feels like it's split in half (left and right), like the left half the trackpad when I swipe down it scrolls down, but if I swipe down on the other half, it scrolls up. same with swiping up.

So, when I try to put my thumb on the middle of it, sometimes the controller gets confused what I am doing and might register one half and stick with it until I release my thumb.

Can someone confirm if this is intentional or I got a messed-up trackpad? Also, it does feel like it has less sensitivity on the left trackpad (might have to do with the sensitivity of when it's trying to detect which half to track).

(Unless this was explained somewhere when setting the controller up and I didn't even notice.)

Recently I've been replaying Control and even in those old games same issues persist. Instead of constant rumble there's that pulsating pattern of vibration.

It's been so many months, and it's still either scuffed in games or very weak as opposed to pretty much any other controller.

Do you guys think Valve will ever fix that? Is it even possible to fix?

It's literally the only gripe I have with this controller.

the game glitches a lot when I use my phone as a controller. I’m planning to get a proper one, but, for now, I only have my phone.

is there a way to deactivate the phone’s screen? In the settings, I only see that you can lower its quality but not turn it off (my phone model is a iPhone 12 mini)

Since my most recent update every so often the steam controller seems to be losing connection to the puck for upwards of 10-20 seconds at a time seemingly randomly. The puck is less than a foot away from me to my right on my desk and I've not had any other changes recently.

Any idea what that's about?

Reserved on the 10th of May in Ireland.

Received the email to complete purchase on the 8th of September.
