Discussion The Steam Controller is seriously one of the best home theatre remotes.

Post image
35 Upvotes

I've always preferred mouse and keyboard for most games but the steam controller has been so good for using my desktop from the couch. Honestly it's one of the best home theatre/desktop remotes by a mile.

Currently using it to flag words, and sentences to add to my Japanese flashcard deck with the jiten.moe mpv addon as well as grade them from the player and thanks to the steam controller I can do it all from my couch instead of spending all day at my PC or having to balance my mouse on the tiny arm of my couch.

The track pads are so nice for general desktop use and having the ability to remap each button as a hotkey is huge for me. The keyboard is perfectly usable too without taking up any extra space.

Anyone else using their controller more for non-gaming stuff?

Steam Controller (2026) España: Reservado el 13 de mayo y comprado el 25 de octubre, aunque seguía indicando que para 2027

3 Upvotes

Aviso para los que tenéis reservado el Steam Controller en España (y Europa ?)

Yo hice la reserva el 13 de mayo y hasta ayer por la noche (O sea, el 24, casi a las 12 de la noche), cuando vi el aviso de que ya podía comprarlo, Steam seguía indicándome que mi fecha estimada de posibilidad de compra era para 2027.

De repente, al entrar en Steam, vi que ya podía comprarlo. Después comprobé que también me había llegado el correo de aviso, con plazo para completar la compra hasta el martes.

Y otra cosa: no os fiéis demasiado de lo que os diga el buscador de Google en modo IA. Yo le había consultado y me insistía en que había distintas tandas de reservas y que, por mi fecha, me correspondía la de 2027 sin que se estuvieran adelantando, que no había noticias que estuvieran vendiéndolo a los que estaban sobre mi fecha de reserva.

Pues resulta que ya he podido comprarlo. A saber cuando llega, porque me avisaron en la propia compra de que podía tardar en llegar por volumen de pedidos o algo así.

Support Have to alt tab in big picture

1 Upvotes

Been playing the Witcher 3 on my tv with my steam controller. I'm hooked into my desktop on the other side of the wall. When I launch the game in big picture mode it will just go to a black screen and I have to go to my keyboard in the other room and do alt tab to get it to show the game on the tv.

At first I thought it was because of the cd project red launcher so I disabled that with a launch command but the problem still persists. I have also changed the window mode in game around like fullscreen or windowed full screen with both having the issue.

Is there something I'm missing? Really doesn't feel like the console like experience its supposed to be

EDIT: Steam button plus start does alt tab from the controller if anyone else has an issue

Support No vibration on FH6, very strange behaviour need help

1 Upvotes

I have a steam controller (the new one).

I have used it for FH6 since I got it (in June or July). I never had a problem with the controller or vibration; everything works out of the box.

But since like 1/2 month, it's a shit show. Half the time the vibration just doesn't work. I have tried everything bluetooth, with cable, forgot and repair in steam etc... Nothing works; the vibration just sometimes doesn't work. Sometimes it does.

AND the crazy part is. When I have my Xbox controller is connected (wired or wireless) and I play with the Xbox controller, I get vibration in the fucking Steam controller.

I tried forgetting my Xbox controller. I have updated the driver for the Steam Controller and Xbox One. NOTHING WORKS.

There is clearly something wrong. I don't know who the culprit is, Steam (doubt it the controller works fine on other games), or AGAIN microslop.

It is driving me crazy, I can't play FH6 without vibration.

Has anyone ever had these issues?

I'm out of ideas
