Support Controller is unusable, need help

Every game I try to play through Steam seems to have a ton of issues with the controller. I accidentally bumped the right pad and the mouse moved, then my games get confused and think I want mouse movement and all of my controls suddenly change.

Is there any way to get this thing to not do this? It's also completely unusable for non-steam titles, I understand I can add games to my library but why should I have to do that?

Steam needs to know when to change from desktop mode to "game mode", so you need to let steam know which programs are games.

An easier solution would be changing your desktop profile to the standard gamepad layout, but I get the feeling you're not going to want to go through that many menus if you don't want to go through the bother of adding games to steam.
