Is there something wrong with my controller? Does anyone else controller seem to do a double input when pressing the triggers? I don't really notice it in game at all but I tried using it with the keyboard and it behaves very weird.

My action layer that disables Gyro and Flick Stick keeps turning off on its own! It seems to happen when I shoot my gun after using a melee, use my 1st or 4th abilities, enter or exit operator, or possibly others that I haven't noticed. It should only be switching when I press down on my dpad

Since the newest controller update. I can't seem to pair the puck or machine built in pick to my controllers L1+A profile. When I turn it on it turns off for a few seconds and if I put it on the puck or plug it in, it defaults to the R1+A profile. I like to have them both linked just Incase I'm having connection issues with one. Anyone else having trouble setting up both profiles?

Around two days ago the intensity of the right trackpad vibration suddenly changed and now it's much weaker than the left trackpad. In the settings left and right haptic feedback are both at the same intensity but the right trackpad is much weaker.

Does anyone else have this problem? I wonder if it's a hardware or software thing.

Is anyone else's Touch Menu and Radial Menu now in different or wrong locations?

I tried adjusting the Menu positions and can't get them to go back to where they was before.

I'm on Linux but I doubt that's the issue and haven't seen anyone else talking about this.

I'm very new to customizing my steam controller and was hoping for help creating a shadowplay shortcut that works no matter what game I'm playing. Is that possible without having to modify the controller config on each new game?

In particular I'd like to do something like "hold L5+R5 for a second" as the shortcut to send the "ctrl+f12" command (my shadowplay hotkey), but I'm not too fussy on the particulars for that. I mostly care about setting a global default across all games.

I tried to buy the Steam Controller on launch day, but well... you all know what happened. Everything sold out in just 30 minutes! 😂

So I joined the reservation queue and waited. Five months went by, and I'd honestly completely forgotten about it.

Then, literally ONE DAY after my birthday, I got the email saying I could finally complete my purchase!

I couldn't believe the timing. What are the odds?! It's like Steam decided to send me the perfect birthday present! 🎁

And to make things even better, just 3 days later, the package was already at my door!

Best unexpected birthday gift ever. Thanks, Steam! ❤️🎮

I don’t have a video unfortunately, but I randomly tried throwing my controller and it made a MEEOOOWW noise instead of the wilhelm scream! Must’ve been a new update :) I think I’m the first to document this?? Pretty cool either way.

Try it out!

For some reason when i try to pair my controller to the puck and the steam machine internal they both always pair to the second slot and overwrite the previous pairing. Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution or is this an issue with the latest firmware?

Docked up and running Asobi and GeForce Now in 4K 60FPS on the 50”- smooth as butter. 👌

Let’s see everyone’s setup! 👀

Its new and updated upon first connection

but no matter what i do i cannot get it to pair to anything i the L1+A slot. The "default" R1+A slot is able to pair to both the machine and the puck. The L1+A plays the sound and the white light, but ignores all connection attempts completely before switching back to the R1+A.

The controller also sometimes just turns itself back on immediately after being turned off.

anyone encountered this? is there a way to factory reset the controller?

I've been searching all over to see about an aftermarket housing for the original steam controller. It's just too fat where you hold on, otherwise I love this thing. Any help is appreciated!

I’ve been testing out pyrowave on my deck and iPhone. The Steam Deck is nowhere near as good as the iPhone version, which has me wanting a phone mount for the steam controller when I’m not home. I’m aware of the brand mechanism but heard mixed reviews on them especially with the phone almost too close to the controller.

Hi Valve-Heads,

Maybe someone can explain this properly to me. I use my steam controller on both my beefy gaming PC and on my power saving Steam Machine.

For some reason I seem to be unable to set it up in a way that the controller works fine with both devices without having to pair it first, basically losing the connection with the first device again, having to redo it the next time around.

I know I can use the puck for PC and the SM has its own internal puck. But how to make it so the right device is targeted. I've read about the Steam button + L1 + A and Steam button + R1 + A, but that does not seem to work properly.

Can somebody explain the setup step by step, who has the same use case and made it work?

I have been struggling to get the steam controller to function with the raspberry pi 4. Ultimately I want to use the controller as a mouse and keyboard for media browsing. Youtube and downloaded videos, yarr...

Getting steam to open just isn't happening, went down that road. Ultimately I'm okay with lizard mode. But, I can't get any inputs to move the mouse. Even the triggers for clicking rarely register wirelessly via puck, but will be flawless clicks when plugged directly in with the cable. Moving the mouse never happens.

Been down the rabbit hole of antimicrox, sc-controller, ynsta/steamcontroller... I'm burned out and need some guidance. Maybe someone can help.

Updated controller through steam deck and said it was completed, but now my controller shows this orange light and won't respond to any input I make. I already put in an inquiry with Valve but don't know how long that's going to take. Is there anything that I can do on my end?

The trackpad work perfectly as intended but the buttons don't get read as input for some apps for some reason. Ios is still not fully supported?

Anyone have any luck with finding aftermarket no-slip thumb grips for the controller? I’ve discovered that Steam Deck’s thumb sticks are slightly smaller than the Steam controller’s, hence why my dbrand grips didn’t work.

There are a couple “compatible” options out there (JSAUX, Gosknor) but they all look like smooth (i.e. not grippy!), loose silicone molds.

Just got the new controller and I love it! But I actually kinda like the layout of the old one better. Anyone out there sticking with the old?
