I liked the idea of the steam controller, but I returned it for a refund. The act of getting a configuration that I was happy with ended up just making me wonder why I shouldn't just play with a 360 controller or a mouse and keyboard anyway (even from the couch I've found a comfortable position for a mouse).
- throwaway7767 10y agoI have an xbox controller and a steam controller. In my experience, if the game has out of the box controls for an xbox controller, using it is always superior. I don't regret my steam controller purchase though because it fulfills a useful niche: allowing me to play games that weren't designed for controller input from my couch. This is mostly because of their awesomely powerful configuration tool - they really thought of everything. The two touchpads on the controller and the ability to use the overlay for on-screen menus also increase flexibility when mapping controls for complex games. This is mostly useful for older games in my experience, as newer games that would make sense with a controller generally already come with Xinput support.
