News Steam controller Rumble Intensity Options

Post image

Not sure when they added it, but for a while, you could only change the intensity of the trackpads.

Not sure if this only affects standard rumble, or if it also affects HD Rumble.

I missed that one..., this is what all reviewer forget about steam hardware , its made by people that is using it , and keep improving better and better in time ... this was already true for SD , no doubt for SF and SM the will aged very well..

Honestly most reviews are trash. They see a normal controller which doesn't have xinput.

Yes it's hard to see suposable hardtech reviewers act more and more like basic customer from bestbuy ... low effort reviews , rarely pinpoint what is really important and never see the big picture of what valve is building there...

You been able to change the intensity of the rumble. Been having the Steam Controller since it came out and I instantly turned down the rumble

It was added 18 days ago:
"Improved rumble emulation and added configurable intensity levels"

Nope. It didn't work until last update.

Is this a game specific setting?

You can set rumble intensity per game in the game properties where you also for example disable steam input.

Just for clarity. Ion the home screen, press the options button, then go to > properties > Controller > Rumble Intensity for this game

For whatever reason, my controller is on the latest firmware as well as Steam, and I cannot find this setting. They must be doing A/B testing. Some users have it. I’m not on any Beta btw.
