We’re you the one who told me, I thought it was agzer, but I did have a sneaking suspicion that you were the one who did.
I feel like I’m deraling this thread, so I’ll try to put it back on it’s… rail?

Has any Chronie ever used a steam controller, and if you have what’s your review on it?
I almost bought a steam controller but after seeing a couple YouTube reviews I decided to play it safe and go with a Xbox one controller.

I use a steam controller and thanks to it being fully configurable I use it in a lot of keyboard and mouse only games both on and off steam. It took some getting used to, especially the touch pads. I almost gave up on it at first and went back to my xbox 360 gamepad, but I’m glad that I was too stubborn to do so. :stuck_out_tongue: Ugh, it was a lifesaver when my mouse broke suddenly and had to wait a couple of days for a replacement as well.

I wonder if anyone still uses the Steel Battalion control set up? It was an amazing set up back in the day -

Those Steam stats are good news for my favorite controller. They were patching the client towards it the last few months and it seems they will keep on doing that.

I started back in the day with Logitech Rumblepad 2, like few chronies here as well :stuck_out_tongue: I was used to Dual Shock 1 from my PS so this was the natural choice. It was so bad though (the D-pad was still tad better than 360 and it was almost impossible to make the rumble to work with x360ce) that I went to X360 after a year or two. The 360 served me right for 5-6 years, but I was never really happy with it and I’m glad the R1/RB broke so I could buy something better.

DS4 v2.0 is by far the best controller I’ve used so far. I tested xOne for a day or so, but it pales in comparison with what Sony offers for the same price - more buttons… more options… touchpad even with multi touch and far better build quality. XOne plastic is like a cheap toy in comparison and finally I can enjoy great (if not the best) D-pad again.
DS4Windows tool works great and provides insane amount of customization so I’m surprised that Steam are concerned that people need to use extra software when it’s that good and easy to set up, but probably kids have issues with it :smiley:

You are correct that most games get to 4 (quite a number just have 2).

What games accept more than that? Really just Screencheat…
