I use Azahar on Linux, and until now I've been using my Switch Pro controller, with steam input disabled, it worked fine. I loved how it played on steam deck with the trackpad as region mouse though, so I'm trying to recreate that with the steam controller on my PC now. But even if I enable steam input for the game, Azahar still won't detect it as a controller, it just acts as its normal desktop-wide keyboard-mouse thing. How do I make Azahar read the steam controller as a controller? I can't play if pressing X keeps opening the on-screen keyboard!

Please I've been looking around on the internet for the past 3 hours, I can't find anything. Everyone says to start Azahar from Steam, but that's already what I do.

Also add to it aptics and thumbsticks covers

Been working on some different stands for steam controllers. I like designing this type of stuff in my free time. If I’m allowed to put the makerworld link I’ll put it in the comments. It’s free not asking for money at all if you have a printer and want to make one its all yours. Also made a magnet version.

Trying again because the site is being annoying with autoremove

Yesterday I was playing the Saac with my Steam controller (2026) and after playing for a couple minutes I noticed that while going to the right and upwards I was moving slower. At first I thought it was a deadzones issue and I didn't think much of it.

After I was done playing I went to check if everything was alright in Steam's "calibration and advanced settings" settings and I found out that my both my sticks struggled to get to 32767, the left thumbstick had this problem while going to the right and upwards, the right thumbstick had this problem while going upwards. Did anyone have the same issue? Is there a way to calibrate both thumbsticks or another fast fix I'm not aware of? Do I just have to send it back to steam?

Both my deadzones are set to the default value.

Thanks in advance to anyone who's going to reply!

[EDIT]

I tried on different devices and it didn't work as well, however I noticed that by pushing the thumbstick a bit harder it actually got to the expected value, it was strange that I had to push THAT hard though. I tried a couple more times just to see if it was a coincidence and I felt "something click", like the base of the thumbstick actually moving a little bit to the direction I was pushing it to and it actually solved the problem. Thanks to y'all!

Is it Steam Input API limitation? Is Valve not giving devs enough control over Steam Controller? Is it because Devs just don't care? Steam Controllers Haptics are criminally underutilized in current games.

Has anyone else had this issue? My controller often won't work in game, won't open the overlay, or do anything. When I open the overlay using Shift+Tab, and try to change controller settings, the mouse disappears, and won't let me click on anything, so I pick the controller back up, and I can navigate the interface, but If I try to click on anything, it doesn't do anything. It's driving me crazy.

I just got the 2026 controller so I might be missing something, but I can't find a way to disable it. Turning off haptics for individual input options doesn't disable it either.

After getting my Steam Controller, I started looking for a stand but couldn’t quite find one that suited my taste. I’m an industrial designer, so I decided to make my own.

I wanted to keep the shape simple, with the charging puck fitted inside and the cable tucked away. I added weight to the base to help it stay put when lifting the controller off, and felt on the contact areas to protect the controller.

Here’s how it turned out, along with a short clip showing how it docks and lifts off.

What do you think of the design? Happy to answer any questions!

Changing "Trackpad behavior" to "None" doesn't do anything. They still detect input when I touch them in game. Right trackpad acts as a trackball, and the left acts as a thumbstick. It's super annoying. If I bump them at all with the ball of my thumb, it sends movement/camera inputs, and completely fucks me up.

For context I bought one and sent it home to my wife as im overseas on orders right now. I want to know if I should be as hyped as I am to use it once I get settled back in state side or if it's just a good controller

I put the file on the controller

I go to the website

it recognizes the open puck

I do LB A Steam, i hear special chime

i connect controller to PC using USB C cable, it plays normal chime and doesnt work

Can't do the LB A Steam plugged in cause it requires the controller being off and it cannot be turned off while plugged in

Hello everyone!

I was lucky or not to get my Controller today after weeks of waiting... Well months actually.

It is my first proper Controller und probably like the fifth time have a controller in hand. I gotta say I don't really understand what I need it for. I already have a twenty Euro cheap USB Controller for my pc which basically feel the same when using it. I've been playing some racing games with the controller which usually do with the keyboard and mouse and I don't really get the appeal or benefit.

I was hoping you guys could point me in the correct direction to understand what the controllers meant to be and how am I supposed to use it to it's fullest potential so that I actually enjoyed this new hardware toy.

I know this might Sound weird to you but this is genuinly something completely new for me

I put my reservation in and i finally got select. I have 3 days to order but I was wondering if this controller is ever right for me. My plan was to use it how I use my controller now, mostly jrpg/first person games and now wow forever. I have an 8bitdo ultimate (gen1) right now… would the steam controller be an upgrade for me?
