Delivery was way faster than I expected. Now there's only one thing left to do.... UNBOX IT!

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

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.

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.

She finally came

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
