I used to have a touch protect mini-hex on my trackpads but it got damaged and had to be removed, I thought it was no big deal until I went to order more and found it out of stock with no plans to restock as far as I can tell since they won't respond to any of my messages. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a good alternative?

Hello. I have recently bought the Doyoky Epoch joycons for use on Steam with the goal of using gyro. If only one of the joycons is connected, the gyro works fine on Steam

However, if I pair both joycons (so they work as one controller), steam still sees that there is a gyroscope and the option to calibrate it is there, but no gyroscope movement gets registered from either joycon.

Any idea what may cause this issue? I am not using any 3rd party software and I can't find any firmware update for this specific controller.

Hello, I recently got a Playstation 3 and bought a controller for it and I'm using it on my computer since my old Xbox controller is very damaged, and today I tried to connect it but Steam itself recognizes it as an Xbox 360 controller and that's why the games show Xbox inputs even if they are compatible with Playstation controler, does anyone know how to solve this?

The controller is also not original, it is a replica of a PS3 controller that works on PC and PS3, which is why it is probably recognized as an Xbox 360 controller, but does anyone know how to force Steam to recognize it as a PS3 controller?

I am trying to get my optimal set up in nms with steams controller configuration. and i need the x and y axis on the analog sticks to be split so that i can bind different controls to them, ie Pitch on left stick y axis and roll on its x axis, with yaw on the right stick x axis, nothing on y axis tho since nms doesn't have vertical thrust. really hoping there is a way to accomplish this

Hello, I have a problem where the joysticks suddenly stop working properly for the games I have installed trough steam. It's also showing multiple controllers in the USB game controllers panel in windows here I provide you with some screenshots. Perhaps any of you have any ideas about how to fix it?

I just got a steam controller and I wasn't aware that every time I start a game the controller makes a jingle. In the settings there is not a way to disable it but only to change the type of jingle.
Googling the issue doesen't resolve anything (aside a 2016 steam community post that says you can't)

Did anyone managed to disable these sounds? It's very annoying

I'll preface this by saying that back in 2015, I pre-ordered and relieved my first steam controller, and put about a 150 hours on it just in skyrim and fallout 4. I tinkered a little with getting it set up to use in Dawn of War 2 and s.t.a.l.k.e.r, but other than dialing in the touch pads I really didn't get too in depth with it, ended up s3lling it to a buddy with my pc because I was moving and didn't have space or internet in the new place.

Fast forward 9 years, I've finally aquired another one (2, actually, bizarre confusing ebay listing set me up way better than expected) and my primary use for it is gonna be warframe, on pc and steamdeck. My goal is to never take my thumbs off the track pads.

After some trial and error I've finally got the left trackpad set up as movement, with dpad directional on click. Setting up the right side as soon as the deck charges back up, so that it's my look stick while also being my face buttons. The grips on the back acting as stick clicks, as far as I can tell I'm losing nothing, once I get the sensitivity dialed to my personal taste.

No real question here, just blown away by how deep you can go with the programmable inputs.. I can't wait to build my presets for games like dawn of war again. I'm glad there's been so much community support for these controllers over the years, even more so that I've finally got another in hand.

I guess now I'll be forced to tinker with the inbuilt steam deck controls out of sheer curiosity.

This might be quite tricky but I appreciate any help.

In a game I use a character that can do a 4-hits melee combo on an enemy, by pressing the main "attack" button.

It goes like this: "(1) jab , (2) kick , (3) uppercut , (4) headbutt". It is done by pressing the "attack" button 4 times on an enemy.

If there's no enemy, the combo cannot be done, the character will only whiff the first hit (jab). So, an enemy is required for all 4 different hits to connect.

This combo knocks away the enemy after the fourth hit, the headbutt ability.

But, if you only do the first three hits (jab, kick, uppercut) without the fourth hit, three times in a row, with the correct amount of delay between each of these 9 inputs, it keeps the enemy stunned, meaning you can inflict more damage on them.

This full 9-input sequence looks like this along with the delays:

jab (80ms) kick (80ms) uppercut (370ms) jab (80ms) kick (80ms) uppercut (370ms) jab (80ms) kick (80ms) uppercut.

I want to do two things:

- Perform this entire 9-input sequence with one button, with R1 on the PS5 controller.

- Hold R1 for this entire 9-input sequence to be repeated (Turbo) every 560 milliseconds.

How do I exactly set this up with Steam's controller layout?

I've already read the Steam Deck Controller Guide and tried a lot of testing with extra commands, fire start and end delays, regular and long presses, sub commands (I doubt they would work anyway), etc.

Nothing worked so far. Am I missing something? I also tried ReWASD and DS4windows. I got the exact delay values from these two programs. They almost worked for me due to their combo/macro input record feature (I wish Steam had it), but for some reason these two programs don't give consistent results when I'm playing the game. In most cases they mess up the sequence either by performing the 4th hit (headbutt) at some random point between the 9 inputs or by performing some inputs too early or too late.

I'm new to these features, so I would really appreciate detailed information or answers on how to exactly set this all up. Thank you!

Just recently got a SC & would like to keep the shell pristine/ keep gunk out of the cracks, this silicone case looks appealing but I can't find it for retail anywhere. Anybody have one to spare? 😅

Messing around in Factorio I found that it worked fairly well to navigate the hotbar using a horizontal scroll wheel list that cycled through the number keys. It made me wonder if it would be possible to cycle through a list using the DPAD bindings instead, and so for science I made a config that increments through a list of numbers. You can see how I did it and a video explanation here in this youtube video

I think there are probably use cases for cycling through a list of some type, so perhaps this post / the video will be useful to someone at some point.

I tried playing some of my steam games using a new switch controller, both the testing mode and the big picture mode pick up on and let me use my controller, but none of the games themselves will.

Is this a Steam issue or a controller issue?

So recently my steam controller has been being weird, when in a game and I want to go forward left or forward right, instead of walking at full speed like should happen, they'll walk slowly as if the joystick is only slightly tilted

Also seems to be happening when trying to go back and left and back and right too

Forward back left and right work though.

This happens on multiple games

Is it possible to fix this issue with a recalibration or setting change or is the joystick going bad?

Is it possible to replace the joystick? Desolder the sensor and solder a new one on?

so i got the steam controller on linux however one question when opening the controller setting in steam overlay the overlay does just starts spazzing out like this below in imgur

any fixes thanks

Is there a way to have a steam community layout for a game that I got on GOG, like Cyberpunk, on Steam? It says that no layout was found, but I know that the game exists on steam and there is PROBABLY a layout I could use. Is there anyway to force look up layouts?

Case, cord, dongle, & adapter all for 70 bucks! Going to tinker with a few games tonight & see how it shines🤩

Hard to describe my problem but I will try.

I have a PS4 controller which used to work like a charm in any game I played on steam, no problem and then suddenly one random day either my pc or steam has decide its doesn't want to deal with ps4 controller anymore and made it stop working properly in games, making my controller go 'mouse-keyboard' mode.

After I did try few things to make it work, I attempted to make steam completely stop using setting my controller in any way possible since I tried to use DS4 windows but with no success

• Here is what I already tried:
• I tried everything in big picture mode, untick all boxes, turn off steam imput, etc.
• Tried using DS4 in all sort of ways but its seems steam completely overwrite my DS4 settings or Idk what's up.
• Already tried to turn off steam imput on each games with no success.
• Tried reinstalling drivers on windows but nada, not disabling, not reinstalling or anything.

I haven't tried reinstalling steam yet but I don't think its would work, anyone has faced the same issue?

Oh yeah forgot to mention sometimes controller works with DS4 and allow me to play it just fine but then some other times there is this weird conflict between steam and DS4 that make me able to press 1 buttom properly and then its stop working.

heres the probelm. i plug in my ps4 controller into the pc, the controller is detected though the device manager and steam. but in both some buttons work but sometimes they dont, only the analog sticks and triggers consistantly work, but face buttons rarely work, the controller is brand new so i doubt the issue is with that

To try to make joystick users understand why not all Steam Controller users are happy with the Steam Deck layout as a Steam Controller follow up despite the inclusion of touchpads one example is the 360 controller dpad.

The 360 dpad is usable, and many found it acceptable for secondary inputs like gadgets or whatever games choose to map to dpad with their left thumb occupying the joystick a majority of the time. But, many would not choose to use the dpad as their primary form of input for a game like a platformer or fighter. While some do like the 360 dpad others though would rather reach for another controller with a better dpad than use the 360 dpad as a primary input. If the 360 were my only controller I'd use the joystick over the 360 dpad for a platformer due to how unsatisfying I find the 360 dpad to use.

And that's what the Deck touchpads are like for some Steam Controller users. The 360 dpad. A deck controller would need a rework if it is to satisfy the needs of dual touchpad users who want to use it as primary inputs. It's a fine joystick layout, and that's how I use my Steam Deck but the touchpads are like the 360 dpads for my experience.

The face buttons were sticking but I heard I can just replace the button membrane later.

I only have 1 more left in reserve; volvo plz release Steam Controller 2.

Just got myself a new steam controller, tested it with the old firmware, it worked, went to update it, (through that one reddit post) ran the radio+firmware update, now whenever i connect it using the dongle any press of a button causes something extremy random, moving the joystick will go between random key presses and mouse movement, this also ended up with windows now thinking I'm constantly holding left-shift (not when I'm inputting the password tho), any suggestions/fixes? Couldn't find anything.

Hello. I’ve been trying to configure gyro steering for a little while now in American truck simulator and can’t get it right so I thought I’d ask for some help here. I can get the controller sensitivity and response to an acceptable place but the problem I am having is “centering” the gyro. The Center of the steering wheel in game translates to a controller rotated way left with a weird tilt response. Is there a way to zero out or Center the controller to my regular holding position instead of where it sets it by default? What I’m trying to achieve is mapping yaw to a steering wheel turn, as in turning the controller like it was a steering wheel. Thanks for your interest and help.

I'm just now starting to play Sonic X Shadow Generations and when I plugged my controller in it says it supports my Dual Shock 4 controller. But then in the game itself it doesn't respond to any of my inputs. That all goes away tho when I turn on "enable steam input" but then steam itself says the game will only partially support my controller, I'm so confused right now I tried looking this exact thing up but I havent found anything

Hi everyone! I saw some cover for the right trackpad but can't find any online, maybe I'm just bad at searching. Is there any accessory you would like to recommend to me to buy? Maybe also telling me where I can get them (I'm from Europe).

I'm not surprised that there's spots for force feedback motors. My plan was to tear down an old PS4 controller and solder them to this but I do not see obvious solder points for them anywhere.

Hello guys, I bought the Steam Controller about 4 years ago and barely used it. I was wondering if it was possible to configure it to function just a regular Xbox controller. I apologize if it may sound like blasphemy to all of you, but right now I do not want to deep dive into this complex world hahaha. As a matter of fact I was just trying to get the Steam Controller to work with Moonlight on a mobile device (android or ios) and obviously it can't run Steam or GloSC.

Thanks in advance!

So I have been using my steam controller for many years now, and he A-button has begun to become mushy. I want to fix it, has anybody opened his before or has a guide how to fix that in a gentle way?

Can't see it in amazon.mx
