Mastering the Steam Controller

- Every controller needs a game or two to help users get used to it. For Valve's eccentric piece of tech, I found three good ones.
Don't worry, the Favorite Games Project is chugging right along. I'm almost done recording, and I'm a little more than halfway done writing. This stuff takes time. Hopefully this'll sate your appetite for now.

Who else is here to learn how to use their $5 controller?
+$7.99 shipping and $1.15 tax
Ayyy
Had it from 2017. Its a nice controller, you just gotta learn how to operate the controller and its software (Steam Big Picture).
What I love about it tho is being able to download community's binding profiles for any game. And people also get creative by adding extra HUDS to a game, I remember trying a config for MW3 and you could open a HUD with the D-PAD
Yep just waiting for shipping...
Anyone know if the gyro is good for VR (Vive)?
A list of things:
1. Congratulations to be humble enough to admit you were hasty with your judgement. My respects.
2. Thank you for not taking the opportunity to take low blows at the Wii Remote. Games that implemented the Remote correctly were fantastic experiences: Galxies, Metroid, Zelda, etc.
3. Thank you for bucking the negative trend of most gamers not wanting to adapt to a diffeernt control scheme. With practice you managed to adapt even playing 2D platformer with the left Trackpad.
4. Nintendo and Valve are the 2 big companies that give a damn of moving videogame interfaces forward instd of taking the comformoist easy way out.
Duh. Adaptation is what games are all about. If you can't adapt, you will lose.
Just like real life. Players that don't wanna adapt, like Dark Side Phil for example, are just spoilt.
That's because - unlike in real life - you get to pick your games freely.
I feel Nintendo has always been the company to step out of the comfort zone and try something new, even if it flops. *cough* the atrocious attempt at vr *cough* but the switch and all are very intuitive things that they've created. People make fun of them as a company but they don't realize that without stepping out of that comfort zone we wouldn't have had the nes, the Gameboy, etc. Which were all the original bases for later gaming consoles that people respect. It's ridiculous.
Comformoist is now my new favorite word.
Volvo doesn’t give a shit
Hey, you spelled Conformist wrong. However, by not following society's values and spelling conformist by not how society tells you to, but how you want to, that makes you a non-conformist. Great job man, you did it :)
The Steam Controller just needs patience and dedication. Hopefully, with the new DualShock 4 support, more people will realize the possibilities of the steam controller...
"No spoilers"
Shows two final bosses right after saying that
When you calibrate the gyro well, it's second only to a mouse for first person shooters.
Hell, I'd argue it equals one as it takes the principle of using a mouse and applies it to controllers.
Took me about 5 minutes to get somewhat used to Left 4 Dead 2 with Gyro. Now a few games later, on Destiny 2 and it's perfect. Not sure why you're recommending these types of games, FPS and TPS games are what it truly excels at. Not at the level of mouse + keyboard, but still far beyond the level of dual analog. But it seems like you haven't even given it a shot for those games.
I have to hand it to you, this videos concept is purely amazing. The way you related "start up" games between the Wii and Steam was so smart yet practical. Excellent concept and video!
Does anyone actually care about pirating games from 30 years ago that are hard to find and can cost a ton depending on the game?
Actually it's not illegal to download a pirated game, even a current one.
What's illegal is when you're uploading the game... Which has a problem since most games are pirated via a torrent file, where as you download you also upload the game to other people at the same time, making you guilty.
Sherrif yeah I download pirated games every now and then
THUGPRO is a tony hawk underground 2 mod, and u have to have the original game to play, problem is its not available anyhere. and therefore even the publishers gave the OK to torrent the game
I gotta agree. It's sort of like the cartoons from my childhood (I'm 22). If I want to watch Ed Edd and Eddy again, I can only hope it airs in boomerang, meaning I need a cable subscription just for it. Only 1 season is on any of the streaming platforms and DVD's are hard to find.
here's a nice calm game for learning the steam controller. also DARK SOULS
Still though, use a config that has the right pad double as a dpad for weapon and spell swapping. It's a massive advantage in PvP, especially when paired with the rear grips.
Holy cow, ten thousand views. I guess I'm going to have to make more of these.
SuperDQP yes please, I played Battlefield 1 with it and had a blast ;)
its because the staem controller is on big sale ;) we all looking for answers.
SuperDQP Teach me more about the steam controller. This video was gold.
Steam Controller is a nice controller but bad they dont have 2 options... Left handed and right handed Thumb Sticks. Cause its left handed and playing with the Thumbstick on the right and having the keypad on the left it would be a AMAZING controller for right handed people, but now nah. I dont like it.
It is usefull for game like Rocket Leaque where aiming is not a thing.
Yeah, I was looking for games to help me learn the Steam Controller, it lead me here. :)
With GYRO is simple enough and it's kind of fun to play CS GO, in casual deedtntach I easily get into the top 3 scoreboard players (I like to play with random weapons), however in the competitive mode the results are obviously worse than with the mouse. But as I said, for a casual game in CS GO, steam controller it's a real thing!
This is the first video of yours that Ive seen and I have to say, I'm surprised that you don't have more subscribers. You are very collected, well spoken, and entertaining. I hope to see more of your videos pop up in my recommended feed. Cheers!
Great review, you have convinced me well.
Thanks a lot for this video! After watching a dozen reviews done by confused users, I almost dropped the idea of buying the thing. Now I'm inspired to play with it all over again.
steam controller is awsome :) going to try using Gyro aiming on Fallout 4 before I start playing Titanfall2 with an upgraded graphics card!
Code Phox what card do you habe now
As someone who pre-purchased the steam controller, I have used it in every game that I have felt the need to use a controller in, fighters, emulators, gta, helldivers, for honor, etc. The fact that every single input is rebindable down to even the trigger can have multiple inputs, ie in for honor to change the direction of the guard just touch that area of the right pad, to do an immediate counter for that side you would click it. It is definitely a great controller, sure the pad isn't as normal to use as a stick when it comes to shooters and whatnot but as with any game enough practice and you'll get used to it. The amount of things you can do with this controller are incredible, you can have it zoom in when holding the trigger slightly and using the pad to turn, then if you click the trigger in by pulling back all the way have it enable the gyroscope in the controller and use that as a gyro mouse for even more control, even in cod this helped gain a pretty significant advantage over controller players and almost kept up with mouse players, gaining the benefit of the aim assist and then the sensitivity of a mouse when needed. To this day I still don't use it when shooting people in gta if I can avoid it but that's just due to not spending a whole lot of time spent on shooters with it.
Awesome video, man!
I can't imagine gaming without the Steam controller now, that controller is really amazing. I also learned how to get used to it playing Portal, in my case Portal Stories Mel. The effectiveness of this controller depends on how fast you get used to it, and how much knowledge you have about its customization. If you don't like a controller mapping, you can download one from another user, and if you still don't like it, you can change it or create one from scratch and share it. If this controller doesn't work for you, it is because you don't understand how to use it, and that's fine for some people, but don't blame the device because of that
best review thus far!!!! amazing channel!
An emulator, an FPS, and a controller friendly game are all you really need to master it.
An emulator helps you learn how to rebind your buttons, an FPS acquaints you with the touch pads, and a controller friendly game helps you build confidence in the controller.
I put this video up while in bed before I would go to sleep. But seeing you miss that backstab at 4:05 sure raised my blood pressure.
I can definitely confirm emulators are a good way to test controllers though.
The blood pressure-raising was mutual, definitely.
I was watching this on Android TV and had to pull this up on my phone just to comment... THANK YOU for pronouncing Retroarch correctly! Most people say it like "arch" and not like "ark", but it's short for "retro architecture", so the way you said it is absolutely correct.
Heh, thanks.
Gyro control on this thing has pretty much worked as an amazing alternative for steering wheel setups for my racing games. Only thing is no force feedback, which, isn’t a full problem so long as you have good instinct knowing how much to countersteer.
Getting into using the Steam Controller as well, thanks for the game ideas!
The most versatile controller ever. I've loved my Steam controller ever since I got it half a year ago.
The Steam Controller is the best! It’s a great enabler tool for console player that want to move to PC without having to worry about gamepad compatibility.
Yes, that means you can play great RTS & TBS games like Wargame & Civ V on the bed/couch.
I don't understand why everybody is calling a weird. It looks like a pretty straightforward Gamepad to me. I'm probably going to pick one up.
When I think of the idea of "mastering" the SC, I think almost exclusively about learning how to integrate gyro control into your playstyle. It's tricky for awhile, but as you get decent at it, it becomes extremely satisfying.
There is so much to this controller and it's configuration and the tech in there is truly revolutionary in my opinion. Yes it takes time to get use but once u spend more time with it and configure the way you would like to play your games you will like this. I have to say that now after 3 months i prefer it better than my xbox one controller why more so barely any input latency. I figured and use other configuration on playing third party games. The steam controller is a learning curve and is 9nly getting better.
I love that you threw in a bit of the Portal soundtrack in at the end. It's such a good soundtrack.
Glad this was in my reccomended
About a week ago, I dislocated my kneecap, so I can't get to my computer easily. So I've been employing the use of the Steam Link and Steam controller, and I love it now. (I didn't before.) Portal 2 really helped me learn it, and one if my favorite thing about it is how you can really customize it any way you want. I have Stardew Valley working now, I setup Skyrim, Fallout 3 and NV to use Keybindings on it, just so I can use the gyroscope. The Steam controller is my favorite controller to use now.
This is honestly one of my favorite things about the Steam Controller! It has so many quality-of-life features that make it accessible for anyone, even if they have disabilities that would otherwise keep them away from gaming. I'm really happy that you got your setup up and working.
I didnt get a copy of portal
great narration, couldn't tab out
Very nice video mate I like your commentation
I learned the steam controller playing a small indie game called "Lumini." It really helped me get used to the two trackpads because it required using both simultaneously, but it was casual enough for me to learn with.
Great vid, totally agree the steam controller takes time to master. To use the steam controller with Origin: Launch steam in administrator mode (in the R-click menu) and then the steam controller will work with games that run from the administrator functions in windows. If this is a better option for some, I recommend disabling Steam's launch with windows startup option
great video. thanks for the info.
It's rare to see a gamer... ESPECIALLY a PC gamer...reevaluate his opinions. Great video, man! PS- literally suing my Steam controller to write this/ web browse
Naa, he's suing his steam controller.
For damages to sanity after learning to use it with Darksouls
"it's rare to see a gamer... ESPECIALLY a PC gamer...reevaluate his opinions." nice generalization...
can you not associate pc gamers with narcissism and shit attitudes
smokebomb.exe ironic. Console gamers are the ones who can't change their opinions when we give them hard evidence of p.c being superior.
I've completed dark souls 3 on the steam controller from beginning to end. I think it helped that I started using the steam controller from the beginning.
Thank you, excellent video. I just bought this controller and, never having owned a console and thus never gotten used to any other controller, it was a little frustrating just to get it to work properly with one game (Fallout 3). I do think that both touch pads, the gyro, and the configurability of this controller make it a timeless and almost universal device.
That's actually a really interesting perspective. How does this controller feel to someone who's never used a controller before? A big barrier to a lot of people for this controller is that they already have an idea of how a controller (already a pretty complex device to a gaming outsider) works, and they have a hard time adjusting. I wonder how someone who's never used a controller before would find this thing compared to, say, a PS4 controller or something.
I have tried handling a PS3 controller before, and a loooong time ago, I played Tomb Raider 1 with a PS1 controller. I completely forgot about that until now. All controllers until now seemed extremely un-ergonomic. The thumbstick and d-pad never seemed very usable to me because as a PC gamer you use your fingers which are more nimble if you ask me. The Steam Controller is awesome, I already like it better than the mouse knob and touchpad on my laptop. It will however probably never match a mouse for speed and accuracy. Comfort wise, it's better than using a keyboard. WASD seems a little awkward now.
Loved the video. Very useful information. I recently got steep game and it works very well with steam controller. Kinda hoping to play fighting games with the controller like MXK its kinda weird but like u said, it takes time to work with it.
great review and UA-cam personality. subscribed.
Wow! This video was really informative and entertaining! You deserve way more subs :D
Thank you! :D
Thanks for the content :)
best review out there, now im glad i bought one xD
Nice video yep this is a good series
i can't stop imagining bob talking 😂😂(muyscerm). nice vid btw!
I stand by you with Dark Souls. I never even liked the keyboard+mouse controls for those games, but the Steam controller is like a match made in heaven with them.
Entertaining Video!
07:15, Mario's actions and the music synch perfectly xD
"Downloading pirated roms is illegal...DON'T DO IT"
I don't care I'm a broke college student. If college was free, then I wouldn't do it
Crypto It's actually only illegal to distribute. That is why torrenting is sketchier.
Skeebeep Boopeepeep True but either way, it ain't my fault. My hard earned money goes to games, NOT college
Crypto it is legal unless you have the actual game
Yes education is important, but if you think about it, college is a rip off because you can get the same knowledge by reading books at the library for free. The government only puts college as an obstacle to either weed you out of your destiny or stress you out
Yes, then go and study quantum mechanics, calculus, at least four languages of computer programming, web interfacing, radio wave signals, satelites and electric circuits.
That's my career in short, I study telecomunications and computing, and I tell you: Never in my entire life would I ever end up learning all of this shit by myself.
Edit: Quantum mechanics / physics are not really a thing for now, but there are already functioning quantum computers out there, so there's that.
Portal 2 definitely is the best game to learn how to use the Steam Controller, but you can pick really any of Valve's FPS Games to start. With the right track pad for aiming, the left track pad for cycling weapons, gyro controls, and the paddle buttons on the back for mapping actions like jump and grab without taking your thumb off the pad, it was made for FPSes or any other games that require precision aiming. It's not Mouse and Keyboard precision, but if I don't feel like sitting at my desk and straining my wrists, it beats the shit out of a standard controller for those types of games. With using the left track pad as a D-Pad for 2D games though? I'll stick to a real D-Pad. It's like using a touch screen on a phone, which is totally playable, especially if you turn haptics on, but I wouldn't use it unless I absolutely had to. A great controller overall for certain games, but definitely not others.
I like the steam controller its great for non first or third person shooters, and i love the two extra buttons on the back. I always map one of those as a push to talk button. But i actually prefer to use the switch pro controller ever since steam started supporting it. I map the video record button to a push to talk button, and steam supports gyro controls which us not as intuitive as a mouse and keyboard but its has just as much fidelity as a mouse and keyboard. Its definitely better than a steam controller for precision shooters.
holy shit! I just noticed you only have 208 subs!
I though you had more than a million! You should deserve more.
Your mic quality is better than the ones of better youtubers.
5:34 he tells us not to download pirated rooms while subliminally telling us how to at the same time
Somehow I knew he was going to say Dark Souls was a good game to learn the Steam Controller on.
Well,I guess I'll get one, thanks for the review.
I picked the controller up, when it was on Sale for like 30€ and I'm mostly using it as a mouse for my Steam Link. (Desktop mode). And to be fair, it works pretty good for that purpose. But I think I will now test some games with it, even though I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the customization options. But as far as I can tell, I don't think the controller deserves all the negative reviews. I mean sure, it takes some time to get used to, but it's also fun to use and pretty well build. Especially for the price (when it's on sale!) The only annoying thing for me is the loud "click" sound of some buttons. But yeah, think think I will spend some more time with the controller now, thanks to your video :)
Use your dpad for moving in fps games add a dead zone in the middle where you can rest your thumb without your character moving and set the edges to make it run, all that without clicking or you can use the click for something else, get used to it and you will never look back
I'm keen to play Star Citizen with the Steam Controller, so I have taken your advice and purchased Portal 2 to learn the basics of the Steam Controller. Thanks for the tip.
No worries. It definitely does have a bit of a learning curve.
I've never used anything but the Steam controller for Overwatch. One of these days I might give the keyboard and mouse a try, but for the most part the gyro function does a pretty good job.
I'd also recommend A Hat In Time, the controls make gameplay very fluid and fun.
Really enjoyed this, earned you a sub :).
For my entire dark souls stream series I used nothing but the steam controller and ya I gotta agree it reallly grew on me.
Thanks, i bought this controller for MKX, now im playing Dark Souls 3 with it.
i know exactly what you mean ive grown attached to this thing and i dont even own it yet just looking at it i can tell what its gonna be like to use it
You need more subs this video was great
My steam controller initiation game was Civ V
It emphasized how the trackpads helped the steam controller do what no other controller could
I like playing TF2 with the Steam Controller
easy with a pyro..lol
Pyro is LITERALLY the only way you could possibly play competitively using a controller, even Medic isn't viable since you might need to switch to a weapon in case your partner dies or is too busy to defend you cuz HEAVY NEVER FUCKING TURNS AROUND TO SEE THE SPY!
I can't even imagine Engineer being viable since you could need to use your shotgun at some point to ward off a Spy who's trying to sap your buildings...trust me, when you're panicking, trying to shoot, you'll be thankful for that mouse aim.
WAIT YOU PLAY TF2 TOO 😱
+Jumbo Jango, so what you're saying is that it's just preference?
I'd certainly be interested in trying this out although I doubt I'd use it on the norm.
Gamesfan34260 I've played plat Engie back in the day on the steam controller its not too bad lol
Was that a remix of the Super Mario Bros 3 miniboss fight theme? Nice!
I'm so glad to hear "Another Medium" in this lmao
Good video👍🏼
Awesome video! You should have more subscribers
Great vid. You really should try a racing game using the gyro. Takes a bit of fiddling, but it's as good as a wheel for things like DiRT Rally, which sucks to play on an analogue stick.
0:08 best lighting man
I just got the controller a week ago & it's really hard to use for shooter games. I didn't try on multiplayer game. The 1st game I tried is Choice Chamber which is just side scrolling but I sometimes accidentally pressed the Y or B button when trying to press X or A button. Then, I tried Isaac Rebirth but I'm okay with shooting with the buttons but not the track pad. After that, I tried Enter The Gungeon which I test the controls in the tutorial but my aiming is way off. Finally, I tried Slime Rancher which I got the problem with rotating the screen (changed some bindings & settings but still hard to play).
EDIT: After changing the settings a few times, it gets easier but still can't beat keyboard / mouse & keyboard. I really need to use mouse & keyboard for Enter The Gungeon
Dab510 Gungeon is really punishing. You almost have to use M+KB for that, though I’ve beaten one lucky run with good drops through the Steam Controller.
The only type of games I found the controller feels like a limited control method is on competitive FPS. RTS, TBS, and many other games actually benefitted from the controller with its all-round on-the-fly customizability.
Just so you know, the steam configurator has the option to toggle sensitivity with most buttons by doing “mode shift”. Just set your sensitivity low, and then make the mode shift profile make the sensitivity go higher, and apply the mode shift to whatever button you want (like a back paddle). Then you can have nice precise aiming by default, and you can hold a paddle to make the sensitivity go higher for quickly repositioning. This dramatically boosts how easy it is to aim.
Holy cow, 100 thousand views. I guess I'm REALLY gonna have to make more of these.
Please don't. We can tell you just want to hear yourself talk.
I use the gyro for looking instead of trackpad because it uses the same muscle memory and accuracy as a mouse.
I also prefer to play l4d2 with a steam controller. :)
I loved when you called "unhealthy dose of overwatch" 😂
i think i was also hard on the controller retuning after 3 days might pick it up if i see it in stores
makes me sad to see such a high quality video and look at the subs only to see not even a thousand u earned my sub
this man really uses the stick for movement
I love the steam controller in every way. I can't really use any other controllers
Anyone noticed the undertale music playing the background? That actually made me smile
Wow id totally get the steam controller now! :D
For emulators I would HIGHLY suggest you try out Higan. It's a perfect SNES emulator. And I mean for real, absolutely perfect. It also emulates other systems really really well.
Thank you for making this video I fight most days to justify the steam controller to my friends only to have it pushed aside for something more familiar.
No problem. It's always a challenge to try something new, especially when most gaming audiences tend to dislike change. It takes a bit of courage.
I just bought steam controller. I never had ANY controller in my hand before and I have no clue how they work and I have no previous habits because of that. My impressions are:
- steam controller lays in hands pretty well, all buttons are easily accessible and pads are working well, they feel surprisingly natural
- I naively thought that there are some standards to use controllers so I thought I jump right away to them and learn them quickly - nope, my first games are not controller optimized, they work for keyboard but their shortcuts are rich and... confusing as hell (almost not playable - Witcher 2) and that is why I bought controller, hoping it will help me to deal with those confusing controls,
- I didn't expect there are sooooooo many options, that's scary but on other hand that's great because I can figure out how to map those pesky keyboard shortcuts if there is so many of them
- community configurations help a lot but are not complete and I have to adjust them
- if a game has rich keys shortcuts, I have to know them first to set up controller, if I don't have them, both keys and controller are not much helpful, so I figured, I have to go through tutorial, write down all keys on a piece of paper and then figure out what is the best way to put them on controller - lot of work and as stated previously, I hoped to jump right away to it.... but I have no choice, Witcher 2 is unplayable with keys, it has one of the most retarded keys controls ever!
- still, despite all those hardships, steam controller is exciting, gives lot of options and once I master them, it's way easier to use them then keys, which I always hated, so I don't regret buying it
- your video is great and gives lot of valid points, I started my adventure with steam controller really wrong, from not controller optimized, complicated titles, but I'm still invested to beat them anyway ;)
- learning process is also part of fun ;)
Take the time to learn and get used to it. It's very unique and amazingly configurable to just about any task or game on computer. There are MANY user made configs on Steam for most games etc. so you don't have to worry about setting up everything yourself. Watch all the videos you can. In a way it's a somewhat complicated controller and I think that may be the main reason some people don't like it. But as this video shows, once you get used to it, you love it.
I made my WItcher 2 work well with steam controller. It took me a whole day of playing around but after that, I really got to know the controller.
I just asked myself: what are the most important shortcuts I must use on the fly during battle? Which ones can be chosen outside battle, when having time to consider it?
This way I came to my configuration.
- Right pad is mouse (camera) with Q (spell) on a click.
-Left pad is a pad buttons for inventory, journal, character etc. But it also works as a pad scroll on inventory and shop lists!
- joysitck is of course movement with block on click
- pad buttons are shortcuts to 1,2,3,4 (swords, next spell and quick slot)
- right forward button is left click when soft clicked, on full click it's space - which works well for rolling/evading in battle and also for quick looting - that's the best setting, I couldn't image it better
- left forward button is of course right click or Q (again) on full trigger
- right bumper is R for traps and whatnot
- left bumper is for quick menu
- under right push is Enter
- under right push is Z (medallion)
- button right of steam logo is esc
- button left of steam logo is map
- joystick is a secondary up/down button (triggered by left main forward button on soft click) which allows for easily browsing through dialogues and main game menus!
I have some other secondary menus but they are not so important or often used.
It works very well for me. I am very happy with quick looting and browsing lists on shops/inventory and through dialogs, because standard community settings mostly missed that or put on secondary, weird, un-intuitive places.
I love more options so steam controller just wowed me, even when I was confused at first with so many options. I figured out a lot of them in last days. It's just impressive. I can adjust it to probably most keyboard games and it's so powerful. I doubt that other controllers can do as much stuff as this one.
I am more of a power user (even not being too technical) so I just love lot options and that is why I run manjaro kde as my main system. Anyway, steam controller is just amazing.
You haven’t lived if you haven’t used a proper controller
Wow. You DEFINITELY need more subscribers.
love the undertale music in the background!
It's a great replacement for a mouse and keyboard for couch gaming. I've really never liked aiming with an analog stick. However, i REALLY don't like the left pad as a Dpad replacement. I want a Steam controller with a Dpad on the left
The best two pros of the steam controller are the track pads, and the customizable settings.
The customizability is something more controllers need.
I mean, I programmed my controller so that the paddle swapped my mouse sensitivity from high to low when in desktop mode (on day 1 I might add)
You just don't see that in console controllers, because the developers don't ever think about their smarter customers.
The track pads are infinitely better than analog sticks, solely because you don't sacrifice as much precision with them.
Jumbo Jango Dark Souls 3 on Steam actually comes with an official key-binding for the Steam controller and it made me discover things that I didn't even know you could do on the Steam controller!
I've owned the Steam controller for about a year and not really used it much because I found it harder to use than my 360 controller for games which are better with a gamepad and near impossible to use on games that use mouse and keyboard.
Two games I have used it on successfully was KSP which with it's default config works excellent on all aspects of the game and Elite Dangerous which works well.
Unfortunately I tried playing FPS games on this and this is what killed it for me and it hasn't been used for a little while now, but I recently bought a Steam Link to take advantage of my TV downstairs and hopefully get back into using the Steam Controller again as I don't want it just collecting dust.
Your video helps a lot and I think I'll fire up Portal 2 again but on my Steam Link this time and with the Steam Controller too see if I can really get used to this thing.
Daniel Youd Gyroscope?
Cotton Gaming I find the gyro good for elite but can't get used to it for fps
Daniel Youd Huh, well thanks for telling me.
The best controllers felt right the first time you used them
That's 100% false. Give a standard controller to a non-gamer and they will not be comfortable with it at all. It's just the fact that you've been using the same type of controllers for years. No one was instantly fucking used to Dual Shock the moment it came out. Dual Analog didn't even become the FPS console standard until Halo. Use some common sense.
using my new steam controller to type this comment. It is really hard.
Controllers arent really made to type
DkmarcusDk No fuckin shit.

Subscribed solely because of this video.
So for the first year of living in my apartment I didn't have a desk, nor did I think I had room for one. My computer was attached to my TV, and I had no place for a keyboard and mouse. In consequence of that I played Overwatch with the Steam Controller for well over six months. It was certainly less than ideal . . . but not awful.
Fair caveat here: I am not an overly competitive player, and even with keyboard and mouse I'm still in bronze. However, I was surprised at how accurate (and how comfortable) it could be to use a combination of gyro controls and trackpad. Trackpad for large movements, gyro for small, make sure the gyro is only active when your finger is on the trackpad, and then make sure none of the common functions are on the four letter buttons because you won't be reaching for those any time soon. Definitely not my preferred way to play a competitive FPS, but for a bit of casual play on the couch it was actually quite nice.
That Gwynn parry though 👀
I despise the d-pad on the steam controller, but further I love it and use it for all pc-games that I want to use a controller for
I keep going back and forth with this thing. I am trying to play Trine but can't figure out what best bindings to use with it. There are several community releases but the few I've tried didn't feel good. Argh, maybe I'll give it another go later.
Yar, Har, Fiddle dee dee! YOU ARE A PIRATE!
