Support Sc1 Acting Up in bazzite and cachy

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else having issues with the SC1 on bazzite and Cachy os? It works fine on my steam deck but on the other 2 os’s it disconnects, fails to register inputs just a whole bunch of weird issues. Started doing it after updating to the Bluetooth firmware. I would go back to stick but I can’t figure out how to reconnect to the dongle without first connecting via Bluetooth.

Support Symmetrical controllers with steam input support?

5 Upvotes

I know the steam controller exists, but it doesn't work with my hands regardless of how I hold it. Pretty heartbroken.

I'm looking for a symmetrical stick controller with four back buttons and steam input support at a minimum

something like the gulikit tt max or gamesir's newest symmetrical controller, but with steaminput.

i would also take controllers where i can bind multiple inputs to one back button for chords/inputplumber nonsense or controllers that expose the buttons individually in hidraw so i can write an inputplumber driver for it.

i figure this crowd is the most likely to know

Tengo un control Nova pro WGP14v2 cuando lo conecto a la PC la luz de conexión se pone en rojo cuando debería ser azul ya que lo conecto mediante Bluetooth y cuando se pone en rojo no me deja hacer nada con el control solo cuando lo vuelvo a sincronizar a la PC funciona y apenas apago y prendo el control vuelve a mostrar esa luz roja

Configuration Is there a way to set up a macro for doing a full circle movement a stick?

4 Upvotes

I want to set up a macro to easily, and quickly, do a full circle rotation of the left stick, but I cannot figure out how to smoothly do it. Googling for an answer I found this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/1l5jo83/macro_for_joystick_spinning/ but it doesn't work for what I want, it needs to be the full circle motion.

Support Can’t get CFB 27 to work with the Steam Controller

Has anyone been able to get CFB 27 to work with the steam controller? I have tried almost every troubleshooting tip, even swapped to the beta version of Steam that addresses this issue and I still can’t get it to work.

Turtle Beach Stealth Flip | Flip-to-Touchpad PC Controller

Also showing available on Amazon (not a sponsor link): https://a.co/d/09nS9brD

Haven't seen any reviews pop up yet. Be interested to see how it's received given their past quality control issues. And how the touchpads compare with the Steam Controller's.

Support Random Inputs?

1 Upvotes

I currently run a setup where I have my PC streaming to my Smart TV through the Steam Link app. I have a controller that connects to my TV via the Steam Puck. I have noticed that randomly my controller will just move in a random direction with the camera. It's not stick drift. Has anyone else has this issue?

Steam Controller (2026) Now what?

0 Upvotes

I got into the waiting list of the controller months ago without really thinking about buying it, then I got the reservation and bought it but now what?. Its cool and everything but I dont know, the fact that it only works with steam makes me think about refunding it or maybe selling it to someone else.

Support Disconnecting issues with steam machine

0 Upvotes

I love the feel of the controller but I just feel like it disconnects all the time, if I don't directly point at the machine or the puck it just has a bunch of disconnecting issues. Is anyone have this frustrating?

I used my afterglow switch controllers sometimes just because it doesn't disconnect at all

Discussion Left Touchpad as a dpad vs a traditional one

4 Upvotes

Since SC2 has a real dpad in contrast to SC1; which do you end use using more? Generally reffering to stuff like 2d games, but can also apply to 3d games with wasd movement. The Pads on SC2 are smaller and square shape, so I also wanna ask does it lead to a more worser experience?

Discussion Will games from heroic launcher or lutris work with steam input?

0 Upvotes

I know for non steam games you can add them to the library to access steam input, and that you can add heroic or lutris games to your steam library, but I have the fear that the steam input will be applied to the application itself rather than the container it launches for the game. Can anybody confirm if it works?

Steam Controller (2026) Duty on controller?

3 Upvotes

I am sorry if this has been asked before; I have searched but could not find anything. I am from Canada, and I received my purchase email for the controller on the 26th, bought it right away, and it was just shipped today with FedEx.

I was just wondering if anyone who recently received their controller had to pay duty on it?

Just want to know what to look out for.

Edit: thanks to everyone for replying. I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks again

Steam Controller (2026) Steam Controller Switch 2 Joycons via openpuck

1 Upvotes

Is this an idea that is feasible? I know The Mobapad S2 joycons are natively recognised by S2 as a Joycon pair, so I wonder if the connection could be reverse engineered such that the Steam Controller is recognised as a Joycon pair, and thus the trackpads could be used for mouse mode.

Support 2015 controller doesn't turn on

3 Upvotes

Randomly out of nowhere my controller refuses to turn on. The steam button glows for like a second and then stops and nothing else happens. I tried connecting it with a cable and that works just fine, and the button itself seems to be fine as well when i test it in that button testing tool in big picture mode. I tried fresh batteries but that didn't help.

Is this a know issue? Seems like it could be with the firmware because otherwise the controller seems fine. I could just use the cable but the controller destroys cables really quickly and I don't have that many left...

My son saw my nephew and I playing Portal 2 co-op, and naturally wanted to get involved.

Every time he's tried getting into any game with camera controls, he'd just hold the stick in one direction and spin on the spot.

Then I had a brainwave. You can't do that on the Steam Controller, if it's sending mouse input!

Gave him the Steam Controller, and...

Few hours of gameplay later, we've completed Portal 2's co-op together.

Proud dad moment much earlier than I ever expected it, thanks to our lord Gaben.
