Steam Input is the GOAT. If I’m playing a non-Steam game with a controller, I usually set it up to launch through Steam to take advantage of it.

59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers 26% are using PlayStation controllers 10% are on Steam Decks
Are other controllers registering as xbox controllers are do people really use them that much?
-
Xbox controllers work with windows with pretty much zero configuration. Either use USB or the appropriate receiver dongle. This probably contributes a lot to it's popularity.
Also the older and newer style controllers likely all just report as Xbox controllers and the wired 360 controllers are dirt cheap
-
Based on the fact that they're by far the best controllers for pc under $150-200, I'd say 59% ACTUAL Xbox controllers is plausible.
Edit: corrected currency conversion error

For those using an Elite controller, Bazzite handles the back paddles nicely (on Bluetooth in the Plasma version).

I just hope they make an upgraded Stram Controller.
I bought it when it came out. Been using it ever since. Still holds up and legit feels so great in your hands. I really have no idea what I will do the day mime breaks.

Title worried me for a moment that they were dropping Steam Input; happy to see they seem intent on the opposite.

That's pretty cool, I didn't realise there were so many folks using controllers on Steam. I also absolutely love Steam Input.
I just want a steam controller 2 that's basically exactly the same as the steam deck input scheme!
Saw a post today with the new "official" Steam Controller. It's trash. None of the features that made the first one cool. Doesn't even have rumble.
No, you didn't. You saw a third party controller.
I guess the goal is to profit from confusion, and it seems like it's working because even people on Lemmy are tricked by it. Consider the average consumer.
I assume we saw the same one but it wasn't an 'official' controller, it was a 3rd party one specifically designed with steam in mind. Made by a company called Hori. Valve hasn't announced another steam controller yet.
rumble is bloat
Apparently the Horipad's gonna be that. I think I'll stick with the Dualsense.
