Steam Controller arrives on Steam May 4th, 2026, at 10 a.m. Pacific, and we want you to be prepared: Start stretching those gaming hands! Actually, we’re referring to this video, which walks you through the simple steps to get it working straight out-of-the-box. (But, like, if you also want to do some stretches that’s cool too.)

I am writing to appeal an unjustified matchmaking cooldown (VAC Live cooldown) that was incorrectly applied to my account. While playing Counter-Strike 2, I frequently use the SSG 08 (Scout) and managed to hit several high-sensitivity flick shots, jump-shots, and smoke kills during the match. It appears that the VAC Live system mistakenly flagged these mechanical plays and high-precision sniper inputs as abnormal behavior or cheats. I have never used any third-party software, scripts, macros, or cheats that violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement. My game files are completely clean, and I always play fair. Could you please review my match history and the automated VAC Live flag on my account? I kindly request you to remove this restriction and ensure my account status is cleared.
6 months later and I finally got mine. Thank you Steam/Valve.
was thinking this thing would become my aio controller for anything: emulated games, non-steam games, ps5 stream, etc.
turns out this piece of guano works only with steam games and even adding non-steam games to steam doesn’t work xD
wow: forever doesn’t work with steam controller, xbox app games don’t work with steam controller, emulated games don’t work with steam controller, ps5 streaming doesn’t work with steam controller
why? because this piece of guano defaults into its “lizard mode” for all of the above scenario
and even manually switching to controller mode doesn’t make it work with above scenario
valve have really become greedy corpos, because they don’t want to make their controller to work outside of steam xD
i had to ask claude to vibecode a simple switch for me, that forces steam controller to be recognized as xbox controller when running game outside of steam
thanks ai, duck you gaben xD
I just got mine! I love the little mini vibrations!
