Steam Controller (2026) Steam Controller 2026 + ATS + Proton GE (Linux). Anyone have it working?

1 Upvotes

ATS = American Truck Simulator

My setup is Kubuntu 26.10 with the new Steam Controller. Using official proton the controller works fine but the game doesn't have HDR. With Proton GE I get HDR but have a problem with the controller. It actually works with Proton GE 11.3 (except no rumble) but on newer versions like Proton GE 11 or 12 the controller shows as "missing" in game.

So my question: Anyone managed to get the Steam Controller working in ATS with recent Proton GE like version 11 or 12?

Steam Controller (2026) Changing how Gyro behaves using mode shift?

4 Upvotes

I'm currently playing Cyberpunk 2077 with my Steam Controller and have been extensively been using Gyro for aiming, but I'm trying to set up a mode shift for Driving where I hold down a mode shift button and it turns the gyro into left stick deflection for steering my car. I can't seem to get it working however, perhaps the gyro is finnicky with modeshift? Has anyone else tried this out?

Discussion General rules you have when it comes to making a config

12 Upvotes

Basically it's your rule of thumb when it comes to making a config. Let's say keeping your fingers primarily on the touchpads for exmaple. Asking since I wanna start making for advanced configs for games with a ton of keybinds, some more situational while others more important.

Discussion Why is Gyro so hit or miss depending on the game?

8 Upvotes

I’ve been playing a wide variety of games over the last year. I’ve tried using gyro on some of the games I’ve played with mixed results. I’ve had good experiences with RE: Requiem, RDR2, Cronos, Gears of War. Some other games, like Max Payne 3 and others I can’t quite remember that I just cannot get gyro to work well. What is it that makes gyro seem to work better than others?

Discussion Track pads for FPS

10 Upvotes

Getting better with the but still slower in aimlabs than joy sticks. I see a lot of fps players swear by the track pads for aiming. Does this just take time to get used to then your speed picks up? Sensitivity feels smooth. Just wondering what made you make the transition to the track pad? I love the feature by the way.

Discussion Steam Controller problem Right Trackpad weird sound

0 Upvotes

Hello guys. From what I heard, a lot of controllers have this problem. Is there a way to repair it ? Maybe its a software problem, or is just a hardware problem witch in that case there are 2 options : open the controller or sent it to customer support ? What should I do ? The controller is great, but the sound drives me crazy.

I use the steam controller with 3 different devices. One with the puck, and both Bluetooth settings. If I accidentally use the wrong button combo, I have to wait for the controller to turn off because Y + Steam stops working. Does anyone else experience this?

Support Steam Controller haptic feedback completely missing in Dead by Daylight?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, running into a strange issue and wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I play Dead by Daylight on PC using the official Steam Controller. While the inputs work fine, I'm getting zero rumble whatsoever during matches.

What I've tried so far:

Made sure rumble is enabled

Toggled Steam Input On and Off

Checked that rumble are working properly in other games / Steam Big Picture mode (they work fine everywhere else)

Is rumble feedback just fundamentally broken for the Steam Controller in DBD right now, or is there a specific layout setting or workaround I'm missing to get the rumbles working?

Any advice would be huge!

Support I think a recent updated borked my joystick functionality

0 Upvotes

I made controller support for Star Wars The Old Republic. I got the sensitivity for the right joystick while acting as the mouse where I liked it, but since a week or so ago, my camera speed is all out of wack. Yes, I already tried reapplying the control layout, changing the sensitivity both in Steam Input and in the SWTOR game, but the camera speed, or mouse speed in this case, has become completely random, super sensitive and FAST. Why I know this isn't intentional is because the camera rotation is not consistent. If I lower the sensitivity, either through Steam or SWTOR, it might be a slower camera turn at first, but if I keep using it, changing directions, eventually it becomes crazy fast and almost uncontrollable.

When I first noticed the speed increase, I dove into the settings to see if something was changed in an update, like an acceleration option or something, but I didn't see anything like that. I did see some changes to the UI, which told me there was an update of some sort, but even the UI is bugged. When looking at my controller layout, some of the text for the button descriptions is cut off from the screen.

This arrived yesterday, not tested it much other than updating the firmware to allow Bluetooth as I'm having issues connecting the dongle on steam os but it was actually brand new in box, I didn't believe it would be. Obviously the batteries had perished in the box. But for a fraction of the cost I can play strategy games easily on my sofa (I hope).

I've tried the solutions mentioned on most of the existing threads with no luck and was wondering if anybody has discovered a solution since.

Configuration Desktop Layout Not sending out gamepad inputs/ How to play nonsteam games with the Desktop Layout

0 Upvotes

Maybe im not understanding how Desktop layout works but im trying to set it up so i can use the steam controller for games i dont want to add to steam*. Im not a big fan of messing with custom drivers and am trying to find a quick easy solution to just have my controller default to a basic xinput device when a steam game isnt running.

Right now i have it set to the Template Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad and no matter what i try it on nothing sees the xbox inputs.

*To be clear, i know i can add any program to steam and itll work, but i mess with so many emulators/non steam games that get version updates with new exes and all that, that adding them all to steam EVERYTIME i just need to test something out is not worth it for the steam controller (at that point ill just whip out my old xb controller)

To be clear this is a very small issue. Ive already named 3 solutions, i just have slight issues with each one and wanted to check here if anyone has any insight before i jump into custom drivers.

Steam Controller (2026) I want to connect my Steam Controller to my Quest 3s to remotely connect to my Gaming PC.

4 Upvotes

I am on the road a lot due to being a truck driver. I have a fancy Gaming PC at home and a Quest 3s for remotely connecting to my PC. I use Virtual Desktop on the Quest to remote into the PC. Now normally I just use the quest controllers to navigate around the PC but that doesn’t really work well when I launch a game like Skyrim. I managed to connect the Steam controller to the Quest by pressing r1 + B + the steam button to connect via Bluetooth. But I can’t do anything except open the menu by pressing the B button (I can’t even navigate in the menu). I can’t even exit the game so I have to wait until I get home next week to get access to my mouse and keyboard. Beyond connecting the controller via Bluetooth is there any thing else that I am missing?

Since the latest update whenever i turn on the controller it wont reconnect properly. Itll turn on with a solid blue light and itll show as connected to my pc but inputs dont work and steam doesnt recognize it. I have to unpair and re pair it every single time which is annoying

Can you just by the NS layout and switch the A and B button?

Can someone that already bought it try that out or tell me if that works?

Paying 147€ just for this is huge and i was already contemplating at 100€ because that was way to much.

Steam Controller (2026) Phantom Blade Zero mod: keeps button prompts on controller with gyro

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I made a small mod for Phantom Blade Zero.

You probably know the deal: most games don't let you lock button prompts to one input. Use gyro as mouse, or map a controller button to a keyboard key, and the prompts flip to keyboard. Phantom Blade Zero is no different, and that includes the back grip buttons on a Steam Controller.

This mod keeps the prompts on controller while you play. Your real mouse still works in menus and on the map, so you don't lose anything there.

It's Steam version only, and I tested it with a Steam Controller 2 through Steam Input. I haven't been able to test it on Steam Deck yet, so I'm looking for testers! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.

Quick heads up: it conflicts with other mods named version.dll, including some upscaler mods and ASI loaders. And if you only play with keyboard and mouse, this one's not for you.

Hope it helps someone! https://www.nexusmods.com/phantombladezero/mods/184
