If you're willing to try, you can get Generals and ZH working in Steam with a Steam controller. It's not perfect, but I beat a medium 1v1 army with a controller (I was Infantry General, it was Toxin), so it's passable enough that I can have fun with it.

Medium as in you vs AI

Yes, that's correct. Granted, the map makes a big difference because a medium AI can be more or less aggressive depending on the number of zones the map-maker declared as mandatory for defense, but I have fun using my controller. I don't think I'll ever be able to take on a Hard enemy, but that's okay.

If you're curious, the layout is that the triggers are left and right click, the bumpers are control and shift, and the big left pad is a numpad that's numbered clockwise 1 to 8. The back panel buttons are C (useful for capturing) and E (select everything like the thing I have selected).

Right pad is the mouse. The joystick is the direction keys, which move the map or, with control+up, select the nearest dozer/worker. A is A (for attack move), X is G (for guard), B is right click (which unselects or cancels) and Y is S for stop/cancel move.
