This is really exciting for me. I’m one of the few that freaking love the joycons

I wonder when EGS will add it...oh..wait.

Either way, god stuff, now steam needs a faster interface

Epic is right to stay away from that shit

The Joycon is too flawed for me to enjoy this update, but I have to give Valve props for supportung modern controllers. Now I just wish the new style Atari classic stick was supported along with it's paddle function.

Very nice but fuck me when is big picture going to get that polish pass it's needed for like a decade.

I had to do the config equivalent of suplexing it through the spanish announcer's table last time I tried to setup my saturn pad. Infinite scrolling due to wack default bindings, different UIs leaking into one another, labels that make no sense... Mess.

This is so unfair to the other PC storefronts that do nothing for their users. How are they supposed to compete? /s

Nah, Steams controller support and configurability is fucking awesome, it's massive value add for me.

my only issue with joycons is that they feel fragile as fuck but i've had them since 2017 and had no real issues. so i guess they aren't bad lol. my ps/xbox controllers are the ones that i've had issues with. everyone goes on about joycon drifting and i'm on like my 4th xbox and 2nd ps controllers with drifting lol.

Fix the fckn scaling valve! it breaks and ui buttons get offset from the graphic

Especially with steam deck usage and steam link streaming. Their work and the community profiles has been amazing. It was genius letting people upload control schemes to the cloud, save locally, save a template and relabel buttons. You can setup multiple mappings for each game.

What? If it wasn't for it I wouldn't have been able to play on PC using my generic controller and the switch pro controller without relying on third party softwares which added an additional hassle tbh... It's so plug and play that it's literally the reason I couldn't move anywhere else and only game pass made me do so for the deal.

It alone puts steam eons ahead competition. Now I have a Xbox controller but thanks to steam I didn't even feel rushed because why should I?
