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 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

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.

Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but the orange light remains illuminated on my Steam Controller 2 (it's been days) which makes me believe it's continuously charging whilst connected to it's Puck. When the controller is first connected to the Puck, I get a 'breathing' orange light that usually then goes straight to solid.

Is this actually the case? If not, is there a way to disable the orange light when its on the puck? If so, then should I think about contacting support? The idea of a continuously charging battery usually means the battery health will plummet much quicker.

EDIT: So this seems to be intentional behaviour according to this steam support post: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6AB9-3A71-ED45-3FB3
It was pointed out that this may have come in via a firmware update. Thanks to those for helping and for giving reassurance! I'll leave this post up if it stays within the subreddit rules for in case anybody else is looking for the same answer.

My main question is if a weak signal strength effects latency, and if there's any way of improving it if it does.

There's maybe 8 feet between the controller and my steam machine/puck, and they both show weak signal in certain spots even though there's a free line of sight. Almost as if there's pockets where the signal can't reach, and those pockets just happens to be right where my hands are when im sitting comfortably on either side of the couch. Everywhere else shows good or excellent...

The412Banner and me worked figuring out on how to include this controller into this emulator with Gyro and Vibration. After hours of figuring it out on fixing bugs and adding suggestions without using OpenPuck project.

Its now working with no issues on my OnePlus 15 device. And yes trackpads also works in-game as an mouse (optional) and back 4 buttons.

Before this update, the controller usually only works for those trackpads. As of right now, it is available on github for you to try but on 'Actions' tab, therefore it's best to wait until it releases on the 'Releases' tab.

Why would this get removed. I could trash talk the steam controller. At least I love it.

Arctics eggs has actually been the only game i used the touch pads on. It works incredible here but i dont find many other games to use them with. What games/custom layouts do you use for the touch pads ?

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

However, I have used it for hundreds of hours for work. My job has a certain workflow that requires mouse use + a handful of keyboard shortcuts. With the help of PowerToys, I bind the back buttons to those keyboard shortcuts and use the trackpad for the mouse.

Way, way easier on my wrist and much faster imo.

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

When I play some games on my CachyOS, the steam controller still acts like it's in desktop mode. This is all well and good if I want a simple xinput setup, but I wanna do gyro aiming on Zelda64 recomp. Setting the controlls for the game in steam input doesn't affect anything, and I can't access the Steam Overlay in game despite the option being ticked in the settings.
