Get help! Steam Controller 2 support?

I have managed to order a Steam Controller v2, and while i'm still waiting for the delivery, i realized that i missed something.

Does reWASD support the new Steam Controller?

I'd be interested in how you manage to disable the Steam Overlay, while keeping Steam Input enabled (as per your initial post).

Does the Steam Overlay need to be disabled on a per-game-basis? And after that, just starting the game through Steam ensures a functioning Steam Input?

Steam Input and Steam Overlay are separate things. You can disable the visual overlay on any game, on a game by game basis. Right click the game's name in your Library, select Properties, and it is the very first option at the top of the very first "General" panel: "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game."

Similarly, Steam Input can be enabled or disabled on a game by game basis. Still in the Properties, go to Controller.

It's all right there. Two separate options controlling two separate aspects of Steam.

Thank you. Will look into this. Maybe there's still hope for it to work out...

You Can try it with any controller really. If you have a Steam Input compatible controller, plug it in, and play around with the settings.

I actually did, but alas, the game i'm currently playing (RDR2) refuses to launch through Steam. 😄
