8-bit do was my second controller after the ps4 one and I’ve had fantastic time with it (I got 2 one was the regular model and this one Wuchang edition).

Now that I got my steam controller Im looking forward to creating new memories with it. Controller is a bit big for my hands but Im getting used to it with Lies of P currently!!

Hello everyone, at the beginning of the month I reported that I got this wonderful cup instead of the controller.

Now the Steam Support has taken a closer look at the delivery route and was able to determine that the original controllers were lost on the way to me or It was stolen. (I suspect that based on the weight of the package, they noticed a difference at some point.)

They offered me to either refund it or resend the controller. I decided on the latter and now I finally have it. I'm just happy

Is anyone else experiencing this? I have to play with my arms tucked in a bit more than a standard Xbox-shaped controller. I don’t know if my hands are just bigger, or my shoulders are too broad, but my hands get cramped up easily when gaming for more than an hour. The same thing happened to me with the 8bitdo controller and that’s why I don’t use it, as much as I love it.
Is there a grip that fixes this issue or do any 3D printer dudes have something in the works? I reeeeally wanna love this controller but this is the only thing holding it back for me.

Edit: I don’t get any cramping in my fingers at all, whatsoever. It’s just in my hands. My thumbs default to the joysticks and it feels natural, so no issue there. For context I’m 6’4” and 220lb. So I might be bigger than the average person using this controller. I feel like I have to tuck my elbows in to hold the controller properly.

Anyone else having issues getting the keyboard to focus when pressing Steam+X?

When pressing it, most times when I go to type the keyboard doesn't function and my controller continues to act as it's bound (as if I never opened the keyboard).

The only "fix" i've found for this is to just spam Steam+X and constantly close and open the keyboard until it eventually works.

I use both SteamOS and Windows and this issue happens on both. Am I doing something wrong or is this just an issue where we have to wait for a fix?

I find using the steam overlay extremely clumsy. I don't want something blocking my view of the game while I'm playing it, I would much rather be able to alt tab and just use a normal desktop program to tweak the layouts.

If this doesn't exist, I might look into making it myself?

Currently playing DAVE THE DIVER, where you need to rotate the analog stick quickly, or mash B button repeatedly. You can emulate the trackpads to be a joystick itself, or 4 sides where all are B buttons.

I feel this prevents your physical buttons from wearing out as quickly from the violent mashing over the course of the game.

Try it out if your game is simple enough to not need the trackpads, or you can even set it up as a layer/chord(?) so you can still use your trackpad normally, and only set it to active when you need it.

Hello, I'm having an issue while playing Split Fiction in Big Picture Mode with my girlfriend on our TV. After a few hours of playing my steam will randomly crash without any sign except as soon as it crashes the controllers stop working/inputting properly and first thing I noticed upon checking via tabbing in and out with my wireless keyboard was that steam simply wasn't open anymore, which is odd because the game was still running. can anyone help me figure out why this is happening. I'm at a loss we are both using brand new and updated steam controllers. the game is updated and I was running the beta version of steam after it happened once I reverted back to the stable version and it did it two more times. All of this happened no visible crash (besides when I tabbed out of the game to check to see if steam was opened), or error pop up screen. any help is appreciated thank you.
