A huge thank you to @Valvesoftware for sending over a #SteamController for us to review! Can't wait to deep dive into it and test how well it will integrate into PC gaming.

@SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware * steam required to use

@gigahurtzgamer @SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware most PC gamers have steam installed. if a game you want to use with it is on a different platform just run it through steam. steam input works on even non-steam games.

@ZeroZero_Python @SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware if any other controller required use with a launcher you had to launch steam games from, pc gamers would have a meltdown

@gigahurtzgamer @SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware wasnt that long ago that you needed a piece of software to translate playstation controller inputs to xinput. besides the steam controller is a keyboard according to your OS. its set up this way because the alternative is editing the firmware.

@ZeroZero_Python @SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware and as expected, steam fanboys will defend having less freedoms and compatibility because epic valve is wholesome chungus

@ZeroZero_Python @gigahurtzgamer @SteamDeckHQ @valvesoftware you still technically do - not all games have dinput built in. forza horizon 5 is on PS5, yet doesn’t pick up a PS Controller.
