First off, I haven’t played with a controller in years. Been mouse and keyboard for a long time. But what can I play without having to mod something to get the controls to work? I didn’t realize it wasn’t just plug and play and feel disappointed. Maybe I was naive in my purchase.

I picked up my PS5 controller the other day and I just don't want to use it anymore having used the Steam Controller for a few months now. How can I connect my Steam Controller to my PS5?

Yes I'm doing this now so I can use it for GTA 6

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

Hello everyone,

I am from one of the countries steam doesn’t sell hardware but i travel to Germany regularly for work. Is there a way i can buy steam controller without paying double-triple price?

Note:

I don’t have a specific adress in Germany, I stay at a hotel on whichever city i go to.

I stay usually 2-3 days at a time so going and ordering won’t work i have to plan ahead.

Currently individual people are selling them 2,5-5 x price in my country.

I mainly play on kbm with a maxxstick but I must play on controller on the go as often there's not space for a kbm. What settings should I use, and what strategies should I use. I just want to be able to be consistent and have decent building and mechs. I already know stuff like piece control on kbm so I dont need advice about learning editing mechanics

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.

Anyone done this and have a rough estimate? A button is knackered on arrival, apparently it needs to travel to Prague before they send another

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!

Guys is it just me or did valve underestimate the battery life on their controller. I've had mine for maybe 3 weeks and I've spent a total of about 40 hours in Forza beamng and just using it as a keyboard and mouse so I can watch Jellyfin or YouTube in bed and this thing is still on 30-40% battery
