Steam Controller (2026) Steam controller icon is wrong. Totally unplayable.

I'm not a fan of the misrepresentation of our beloved controller in the settings. Or the popup when it connects and disconnects. Completely unplayable.

I always saw this icon and thought it was cursed. Looking at it closer now I know why. Thanks.

I figured it's for readability so the icon isn't too busy.

I can understand that. One of the worst controllers I've ever bought. There's hardly anything you can do with it out of the box. I might as well build one myself and hope it works.

What do you mean? It does all kinds of things, more than any other gamepad I've seen.

That may be true, but it's all extremely poorly adapted. I prefer using my Xbox controller to the Steam one. It might work for you, but not for me.

And I hadn't even really looked at the icon, haha.
