Key points
- Connects via micro USB cable or wireless pairing dongle (included with the controller).
- Adds full controller support to virtually any game because of Big Picture integration with high customization and being able to use XInput, keyboard and mouse inputs.
- Does not function as a controller when used without Steam running (shows up as an HID device).[1] Linux users can resolve this by using the Standalone Steam Controller Driver.
General information
- Official site
- Steam Community Discussions
- See Steam Client changelog and Steam Client Beta changelog for controller and controllers firmware updates.
