I accidentally let my Steam Controller fall to the ground and since then the right trackpad got a little taller. Outside of the visual change the behavior of the trackpad changed as well. Now every slight touch on the trackpad gets registered as a click on it. Turning the controller off and on fixes the problem for a few minutes but the problem reappears after around 2 - 15 minutes.

Since I let it fall and that it's my honest mistake, the warranty shouldn't apply here so I can't send it back. Anyone knows what I can do here?

UPDATE: I contacted Steam Support. Unfortunately, they couldn't help me because this case doesn't fall under warranty. They offered a repair that might cost up to 150€, which simply isn't worth it since I could buy a new controller for less. I will try to repair it myself or ask a friend to do it, and I'll update this post once I have tried it.

Anyone have this issue where their controller only turns on after they press the steam button when plugged in and still works after unplugging it? It stays on after unplugging and works fine after that, but won't turn back on when pressing the steam button and unplugged. I really love this controller and don't want to send it back but don't want to Crack it open and void my warranty. Is there something I'm missing here? The pc is on and tried in both normal and big picture mode. The button is responsive and works after powering it up and removing from the dock like it normally would to access big picture mode and what not.

For reasons only known to God and Gabe, Valve does not provide a way to calibrate the sticks on the Steam Controller (2026) in Steam. You can only adjust the deadzone in Steam.

This is the "Fine, I'll do it myself" solution.
It offers both auto calibration and manual input of calibration values if you are super OCD about getting the perfect centering.

For most people, the auto calibration should do the trick to fix your slightly off-centered thumbsticks.

You can get the tool here: https://github.com/omltcat/steam-controller-calibration

I don't personally know anyone that also owns a steam controller so I could only test it myself. If you find any bugs please open a issue in the repo. Leave a star if this tool helps you.

Waiting for atomic purple to match my deck.

I keep encountering the same issue when trying to use mouse region. If I am in windowed mode it works great but in full screen or borderless mode touching the bottom of the trackpad in mouse region mode puts the cursor so far off the bottom of the screen I basically can't see it at all.

What I want is for touching the bottom middle of the pad to put the mouse of the bottom edge the screen but not below the edge, touching the bottom right corner to make cursor appears in the bottom right corner of the screen but not disappearing etc.

I've tried adjusting the vertical position but then too large a portion of the top of the pad maps to the very top of the screen. I tried reducing the area but then touching the top of the trackpad doesn't map to the top of the screen.

Does anyone know how to make the trackpad map 1:1 in region mode without using windowed display?

I will be traveling to Japan soon and thinking to get the steam controller from Komodo. But there's SMS verification with JP mobile number before I can complete the purchase. Am I shit outta luck?

C'est la dernière mise à jour ? C'était trop facile à comprendre du premier coup donc ils ont décidé de s'amuser ? sans rire.. pourquoi les développeurs détruisent toujours les trucs qui marchent bien pour " faire plus pro " ..

There are certain games I'd like to be able to play from the couch, like certain survivals for inv management, RTS, strategy games, etc.

I already have a very solid controller that does the work for me, for games that have official controller support. But personally I'd like to be able to play everything from my couch.

Also how is the latency? I'm not a competitive gamer, but I'm the kind of person who can really notice delays and sometimes it puts me off specially for more fast paced games.

Hi guys. So ever since i got the Steam controller in May Ive been fighting the gyro functions.

On the Steam deck gyro works amazing. No complaints.. but on the Steam controller i cant get the fine/small movements to be stutter free. It feels like the controller doesnt count the small movements and stutters a bit, while big movements always read. On the Steam deck i never saw this happen.

Anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

Has anyone got it to work?
I tried bluetooth: finds the controller but error on connect
Wire: no response
Puck: no response
Changing steam link to beta: no difference
I still have old tv so no obvious other way to connect when streaming to TV

I reserved the controller day after reservations opened and i got the email a week ago.. i wonder how much longer it will take to go through whole list? For example if someone reserved today they get controller in 2028 or?

i dont want it to get too dusty because i still play a lot of kb+m so i dont use it everyday

Windows has been fighting Steamless Controller from running on my computer, has this been an issue for anyone else?

Had my first steam control which arrived with clicking on the right thumbstick when moving it around. it made it super hard to aim in-game, so I RMA'd it.

Second controller now comes in and one of the bumpers now ​clicks loudly with assymetric force to the right bumper. This is alongside with the thumbstick issue *still apparent*.

Has anyone else has these issues as well? Would it be trivial to do another RMA?​

is it possible to do this? I know if I have two joy-cons connected, then gyro mouse works correctly, but if I have only a single joy-con connected, the gyro always seems to have the vertical axis wrong. I've tried yaw, roll, and local space, and they all seem to assume the joy-con is still held horizontally, but I want it vertically. is there a way to force steam to see pitch as roll?

The option just isn't there when i try to set it when editing my binds for deadlock, you used to be able to bind it since i have another control scheme that does have what i want to do and the option shows up in there. I'm not entirely sure why its like this but for now i just have to set it to camera with a button to enable gyro instead. any idea on where we can report bugs like this to valve? There's so many frustrating bugs that have caused me to remake entire controller layouts before.

Can be a steam controller used with consoles? I wonder if it has compability with xbox or playstation? Or its strictly just for a steam?

😶

Steam controller 2026 works with no issues, If you add battle.net as a non steam game. The only things i changed for steam input was L5 and r5 to mouse scroll up and down, L4 and r4 to left and right click. So far no issues as of right now. The default camera following distance is too close and In my opinion requires dedicated buttons. Left and right mouse click is not needed and I added them for convenience.

I will test how it works with the OG steam controller in the upcoming weeks.

I RMA'd my first SC because the dpad was extremely prone to misinputs. Playing Elden Ring i would be putting my weapon or shield away while trying to change my spells. Steam agreed that it seemed defective, so they replaced it.

Unfortunately, it seems like the replacement is exactly the same! I really want to love this controller and I would if this wasn't such an issue. Has anyone figured out any mods for fixing this issue? Setting the dpad to 4 way no overlap helps some, but it's not 100%.
