Now Steam recognizes your controller and is able to use Steam Input API for it. Type a name for the config and upload it, or don't it doesn't matter if you upload it or not. After you do this, Steam asks if you want to upload your configuration for other people who may use the same controller. In Big Picture mode: Settings -> Controller Settingsįind your controller there, choose 'define layout' and then configure the buttons. In desktop mode: View -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings Plug-in your controller and open Steam's Controller Configurator: This can solve most of the controller related issues. Also, some versions have bluetooth ^^ Thanks man, that was very informative! I've had some players mention having controller difficulties before now I wonder if this has anything to do with it.įor everyone who have problems getting their controller (especially old or third-party controllers) to work in games: You can use Steam Input API. I would recommend the xone controller to everyone, since it’s very similar to the 360 and has an insanely superior dpad. There are two “types of controllers”, xinput and directinput. They work with anything even where other types don't. Originally posted by Del_Duio:These seem to be the best controllers on Steam. These are very simplistic descriptions of those two API. Most controllers are dinput (including the dualshock 4). (examples: xbox 360 and xbox one controllers, some logitech g controllers, etc).ĭinput (directinput) > the system knows what it is, but has no idea how to configure it, games won’t know exactly what this device is, so you need to set up/bind keys, or trick the system/games into thinking that this controller is a xinput device (very, very easy to do). Xinput > the system already know what it is and how it should be configured, so there’s zero need to set things up, just plug and play. These seem to be the best controllers on Steam. Originally posted by Alayric:I played through the whole game with XBOX 360 controller without having to configure anything.
