#steaminput — Public Fediverse posts

So uh... Trying to set up a #SteamInput profile for #FinalFantasyXIV to use L4/R4 on the Steam Deck/Controller for accessing the WXHD hotbar is significantly more complicated than I imagined. I can't get it to be consistent no matter what 😭 It'll work for one side, and then clicking the other fails

Can verify that it also works with the #FlydigiVader5Pro. Need to change “idProduct” to “2401”:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="37d7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2401", MODE="0666"

And look at all those additional inputs. Amazing! At half the price of the #SteamController.

Dear #Valve, #RPCS3, and #ShadPS4 people, could you please talk to each other? Why can’t I use one of you with another one of you?

I want either for #Steam to output a DirectInput gamepad (DualShock/Sense, Switch Pro) or for those emulators to support #SteamInput. That way, we can use any gamepad with gyro and touch pads.

I don’t want to spend half the price¹ of a console on a PlayStation compatible “Pro” gamepad for, like, the three games I want to play. :/

¹ − Now it’s a third, but still.

Haptics is also not working on the new Steam Controller. It's definitely an issue with the ETS game, not the controller itself. The devs are too lazy to fix it.

I love extensive coverage for the gyro functionality in this video

Valve Steam Controller price and release date revealed

It turned out to be macOS Tahoe regression (probably).

Was rumble never working with SteamInput in CrossOver on macOS when a DualSense is connected via Bluetooth? I'm not sure. But in CrossOver v26 I have to use a wired connection for rumble to work.

Gyro to Mouse aiming is nice! It brings minor UI flickering issue, no idea if it fixed in actual game (probably not?)

Parece que #SteamInput no funciona nada bien en #Wayland. Con "Is This Seat Taken?" lo necesitas. El juego es de apuntar y clic y no tiene función de mando. Está "añadido" con eso, Steam Input. #Unity (nativo hablo) tiene función Wayland que suele ir bien. Lo probé en Wayland y el mando no funciona.

#Valve se tiene que poner las pilas en este aspecto y abandonar "hacks" de mierda de la época de X11.

If I’m reading this correctly, we can have a full support of (at least?) Flydigi Vader 5 Pro and Apex 5 in Steam. That would include (I guess?) the gyro and (almost certainly) all the additional buttons. Maybe in time for the Steam Machine? Makes sense.

Configured gyroscope to look around in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Huge immersion boost for me.

Acts of Blood is an impressive demo, made by a single person on UE5. It still manages to maintain 60 FPS on the Steam Deck. Gyro aiming through #SteamInput is also near-perfect.

The gameplay loop will probably become boring in the long term, but I've played the only available level several times, and it was fun.

Как же сильно я кайфую от этой игры. То, что доктор прописал для дождливой погоды. Особенно кайфую от настроенного через #SteamInput gyro aiming, делающего бои по-настоящему иммерсивными.

Another controller ordered and tested and another returned:

I tried the PXN P5 and one of the triggers was defective. This new one the EasySMX X20 was just not what I thought it would be. The gyro was really bad and the buttons were so loud it was obnoxious. I think the PNX felt better all around and it was half the price.

I guess I'll just keep waiting for a real Steam controller successor. Hopefully that Gamesir leak ends up releasing soon!

Today I received the #8BitDo I bought some weeks ago on #AliExpress

It works great using it on #Pop_OS using #SteamInput

I tried it with Rogue Squadron, the default button configuration for joysticks is kinda off, but it's a nice way to play it anyways.

Now there's no need for a console anymore I feel
