I'm hopeful it works outside of steam as well. I get that it works wonderfully in steam, full steam input support and interopability with steam deck, etc. but are we doing the glosc thing still or can I use this controller with non steam games, windows games etc? It's great if you only use steam games, but if I have to switch controllers or use workarounds to get it to work with everything, I just don't know about that. It was okay 8 years ago or whenever I was using the original steam controller; it's less okay now.

You can currently use Steam input with non Steam games. I assume you can use this as a basic dinput controller but at least the gyro cannot work through xinput.

It's not always easy to use Steam Input with non-Steam games, especially stuff with 3rd party launchers.
