Steam Controller 2

On the website, it lists some of the features for these controllers, which include:

4 Custom Buttons to assign Functions

Full Gyro Support (only when “Steam Mode” is activated)

A customization feature to only activate Gyro when a specific joystick is touched

Continuous button pressing or “Rapid Fire” mode for face buttons

Supports both Bluetooth and Wired connections

A dedicated Steam button to start big picture mode or bring Steam up

A Quick Access Menu button

Controllers are Taking Over on PC

Stats: Controller use on Steam

Since 2018, daily average controller use has tripled from ~5% to up to 15%

~42% of these controller sessions are using Steam Input

During that time, the controller landscape has changed:

59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers

26% are using PlayStation controllers

10% are on Steam Decks

As usage has grown, our team has continued working to improve and add features to enhance the controller experience for these players. Here are some of the new features we’ve shipped for Steam Input and controller users recently:

Big Picture update– complete redesign of the controller first experience on Steam, bringing the Steam Deck user experience to the big screen

New controller configurator– rethought and simplified configurator to set, manage, and edit controller bindings

Gyro aiming– overhauled and improved experience for controllers with gyro, implemented Flickstick functionality in Steam Input

Virtual menus– added support to the desktop client

PlayStation Controller support

We worked with Sony to improve support for PS controllers including DualSense Edge, and can now automatically support future 3rd party licensed PlayStation gamepads

Xbox Controller support– We shipped a driver for Windows allowing us to better support Xbox One controllers, including the rear buttons on the Xbox Elite ControllersOne of the benefits of Steam Input is that when it’s implemented in a game, players can use any one of over 300 supported controllers to play. We also recently added support for the new HORIPAD for Steam (available in Japan later this summer), and worked with HORI’s team to make their controller work well with Steam Input.
