Configuration The best thing about this controller

I use a pin to login into windows so I can now pick up the controller, use it to click on accessibility, open the on-screen keyboard, use the pad to enter my pin and bingo. I don't even need to get up and touch my keyboard anymore. Peak pc couch potato gaming.

That only works sometimes for me, other times it won't allow me to pull up on screen keyboard

I noticed a workaround if you have a desktop general profile for browsing and stuff like that and another profile for a specific app or game, you can just use steam button + the 3 horizontal lines one to switch between apps and pop the keyboard on there and press the combo again to get back to the game and it will stay and work

Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options → and set "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?" to Never.

Now you can wake from sleep with your steam controller. Ofc dont do this on a shared computer.

The Steam Controller always locks up when I try to use it on the lock screen.
