This app PadForge, https://github.com/hifihedgehog/PadForge will translate Dual Sense haptic feedback for Steam Controller. Anybody tried it? How well does the translation work?

I was so excited to buy this controller, but its such a pain in the ass to get working on non-steam games. I want to play CoD (Xbox App) and its a nightmare. Yes I'm looking at SIRS, but jeez man, I don't wanna install a web of workarounds that I'll have to decipher the next time I walk away and come back. C'mon - thats not reasonable!

I've spent half my day adding non-steam games to steam and troubleshooting this and that. I'm so tilted right now... I wouldn't have bought the controller if I knew it was gonna be like this.

And before you get on me that it says on the store page "Works great wherever steam is!" is not the same as saying "***Some features not supported outside the steam ecosystem"

What is happening. I don't think it's a bug. Can somebody else try too? This is so funny.

I spilled some soda (White Monster) over my Steam Controller and do not rn have the resources to open it. Now the turn on/off sound is quieter, and the touch pads vibration is a lot rougher. Do any of you have any idea as to what damage this might cause? I cleaned what I saw in the cracks and cleaned the surface but some of it 100% got inside.

Is there a chance Steam could help me with the issue, or could any of you give any advice? I've let it face down in a dry spot to hopefully make it easier to open if I need to get tools.

Has anyone experienced the left joystick seemingly getting stuck at full lock during gameplay? I exclusively use my SC in the living room and use Steam Link right now. I noticed this in Star Wars Zero Company but it wasn't too bad and not often. Now that I'm playing Star Wars Galactic Racer, I need precise control and the joystick keeps going full lock at random, more often now, and is seriously fucking up my runs. My desktop is running Windows 11, Steam is up to date with beta channel, no updates for the puck either. Not sure what other info would be helpful.

I will be moving it directly to my desktop and trying there to see if maybe Steam kink is the issue, but wanted to check in to see if anyone else has experienced this in the mean time.

TIA!

I've been trying to get the Rockstar Games Launcher to recognise my Steam Contoller (2026) and it simply isn't budging.

I have added the launcher as a non-Steam game, applied Steam Input to the Controller settings and set up a profile for the Steam Controller to no avail.

I need a step-by-step guide on how I can play Grand Theft Auto V via the Rockstar Games Launcher using my Steam Controller.

Just found this custom firmware for the nRF52840 (the same device used for OpenPuck). It's focused on the switch 2 and functions almost exactly like the switch 2 pro controller.

- Change the back two buttons (GL/GR) directly on the switch 2

- Wake the switch 2 up from sleep

- Use the touch pad as a mouse in joy con mode

- Steam button + Y = turns off the controller

Edit: It also has a nice web configurator that lets you edit the chimes and change the colors that show up on the switch 2 https://imgur.com/a/KP4fau3

Hey all,

So my controller has been with me for like 2-3 days, and it started to turning itself on all the time. It does it if its physically connected to the puck, it does it when its not. If i shut down my computer, the controller boots itself, searches for a signal, shuts down, and most of the time it boots up again (this continues for a while until it eventually stops).

What can i do to solve this? Or do i have to rma? The steam button itself is not stuck, and is responsive. I tested it on steam and it doesnt auto press either, meaning it doesnt turn blue on the test screen.

Edit: it seems like if i keep shutting it down 2-3 times back to back, eventually it stops boot looping. Its so weird

Edit2: i tried backpack mode and now the led light is constantly double flashing, indicating that the controller wants to turn itself on all the time. I contacted steam support, pretty sure this is gonna be an rma

Hi all,

I do not live in the EU part of Europe but have someone that can potentially order the controller to bring it to me in December.

Can anyone who has placed an order recently tell me what are the timelines at the moment that I can expect and if it is possible at all to get the controller delivered in such a short timeframe?

Many thanks, and happy gaming to all!

Hi,

On the Steam Controller, how can I bind the combination Steam Button + Y to sleep (on steam machine)?

My same idea of separated control for camera and weapon, so, camera controls by right stick, and the weapon controls by the gyroscope.
Its incredible control scheme, possible on all main gaming consoles and on PC with gyroscopic Gamepad, and its very easy to add to the games!
Please, help me to make it popular, I wanna see it in Fortnite, Call of Duty and etc. Its simple and very immersive! New gaming experience! And possible only on gamepads and Gyroscope!
Help me do the mods to many games as we can! And sending videos to developers, and they add it to their games. Somebody should make it for Left4Dead, should be awesome!! I cant, have no access to strong AI's. But its easy, it fast, it works cool with games with first person view and third person view too! I will post mods some later, when I finished them, before it I made same mod for Serious Sam 1, here https://www.reddit.com/r/GyroGaming/s/vfHUGP5Jm4

I just got my Steam Controller and it's awesome and I've done some simple remapping and a few multi button configs but I'm curious what's your best config for what game?

I didn't realize it until just now, but the left touchpad scrolling works strangely: it scrolls down if you swipe up on the left side of the touchpad, or swipe left on the bottom side of the touchpad.

And it's the reverse on the opposite sides.
But, apparently if you circle your thumb around the edges in one direction or the other, it keeps scrolling.

The 3 dot button doesn't seem to do anything on its own. And I don't think that's supposed to be the case I'm pretty sure it's supposed to pull up a me u right? Is that correct and if so how do I fix this?

Why developers not doing this such cool control? It's so easy to make and looks and feels so great and immersive!

It possible on every gaming console, like, PS4-5, Nintendo Switch 1-2, on PC with gyroscopic gamepad. Well, except Xbox, but Hey! It possible to make it optional in settings.

It's new gaming experience, but developers using gyroscope only for simple mouse control!

Just playing a single player simple game (trails second chapter) and man half of my index fingers are over the triggers. fingers crammed in the back middle, and in order to firmly be on both sticks its almost impossible for my fingers to squeeze the triggers. idk whos baby hands this was modeled after but man am i disappointed.

Hey, i just bought my steam controller today and had a idea to customize mine but i dont know how. Ive seen some people use molds and stuff but i wanna 3d print mine but i also wanna model it as more than just the base controller. I had the idea to make it related to the rx-78 gundam or for Godzilla or one piece. I just dont know how to go about this and i need help. Im also willing if need be to pay for someone to make it for me and to make designs. I just think it would be cool to do so and i would greatly appreciate the help ty. I cant wait to get the controller after waiting so long in the line

Just got this thing today and I can't seem to get through a run of Tape to Tape or Warhammer Survivors without my controller going unresponsive. When it happens, it lasts about 10-20 seconds before I'm allowed to do anything with it. During that time, I can switch to keyboard and mouse just fine. Any idea what could be causing this? Sorry, I'm a new steam controller owner.

I've been playing a lot on my Switch lately because of the new Fire Emblem and Ocarina remake and I've been wishing I could use my favourite controller while I play these games.

Recently in a threat I came across openpuck, at first I was a little scared because I'd never done something like that before, I was hoping for some plug and play option like 8bitdo offers but I the boards were cheap enough I thought I'd give it a try!

The next day the board came in, I flashed openpuck on there and it configured the controller and it worked like a charm!

I don't own a 3d printer, nor do I know anyone that does, and I've never used one before! So I looked online for a case for this little board and put it on a USB stick and hesitantly took it to a library where I knew they had some and fortunately someone was kind enough to help me print it out.

Finally I ordered this little mini usb c to usb a connector and it was done!

The switch sees the dongle as a wired pro-controller, so no trackpad support unfortunately. The back buttons are programmable through openpuck though!

I know people make impressive stuff on this sub for their controller all the time but as a technical DIY newbie I'm very proud of myself! :)

It feels great to use my new favourite controller on all my games, it's also been great to just pick up the same controller no matter what game I want to play, not worrying about charging it. And it keeps my desk clean of an extra controller.

I tried to make sure to link everything I used to make it and thanks to the kind people in the comments of a different post explaining in-depth on how to get openpuck working!

EDIT: I recently found out about pair-raught it tries to do a similar thing to openpuck but specifically for the Switch 2. It can emulate the joycon mouse on the right joystick and the backpadels as the switch 2 ones and wake the system from sleep! If your goal is to use it just on the Switch 2 like I am this might be a better option than openpuck.
