It adopts a lot of functionalities that SteamOS does as well, such as having Steam preinstalled and starting on startup.
>>
>>738182978
A controller made SPECIFICALLY to take advantage of Steam features and to make using SteamOS and/or Big Picture Mode easier only works on Steam????? WHAT A SHOCKER!!!!

Seriously, who in their right mind would even think of buying this controller if they aren't going to use it within Steam itself? If you're gonna do that, then other controllers are much better than this, so anyone who has ANY reason to even WANT the Steam Controller is going to use it within Steam anyway.
This is literally a non-issue.

It's like complaining a 350K sports car has a small trunk you can't fit a lot of stuff in: if you buy a sports car, you're not gonna use it to carry lots of stuff or big stuff around, and if you want a car to do that, you buy a truck, or an SUV, a mini van, etc, not a sports car, and all of those are much, much, MUCH better than any sports car if carrying stuff around is what you intend to use a car for, so a sports car having a small trunk is a non-issue and it's dumb to complain about it.

No clue why whoever made the chart designed it that way. Rocknix is a custom distro for emulator handhelds, so the devs of it probably haven't merged the driver into their kernel. Not sure why he chose to equate it to all other distros when it will work fine on most.

All Microslop APIs must be removed.
REMINDER: Microsoft intentionally fucked up the DirectInput support on the 360 controller in order to get everyone to move to the less functional Xinput API.
>Triggers just increment one axis positively or negatively, so that axis spits out the difference between triggers
>Buttons are scrambled
>No vibration support
Instead of just lazily using the DirectInput API, game devs now needed to lazily use two APIs.
And now Microslop is coming out with GameInput which will clearly fix all problems caused by their previous malfeasance.

>>738185821
you don't HAVE to, switch controllers are standard directinput (same as playstation controllers)

Yes, just add to steam and its LITERALLY no difference. And the customization for layout possibilities are enough you (literally) might get sick of them
>>
>>738186036
No, you HAVE to for the Switch 2 Pro controller because it's not picked up by Windows without Steam Input. It's the same issue the Steam controller has.
>>
>>738185974
Only trronix
>>
>>738185941
The real answer is it depends on the game.
I've ran into games before that could not be mapped in steam, but it's rare.
>>
>>738185974
lol.
>>
>>738186082
>because it's not picked up by Windows without Steam Input
That's false, it is recognized as directinput. The reason you may have issues in games is because most games use xinput thoughever.
>>
>>738186042
>just add to steam
So I'm passing by.
>>
>>738185934
So you'd rather just let XInput be the de facto dominant control API? Also being beholden to it even if you choose not to use Windows?
>>
>>738185879
It can, and Valve did for Linux. They just didn't bother to for windows.
>>
>>738182978
yeah i had enough of that shit with the original steam controller. it shouldn't require steam to use.
>>
>>738186124
Oh my bad, yeah it does show up in Windows. My Switch 2 Pro Controller straight up does not work without running games through Steam though. Even on games and programs where the Dualsense works without needing to open Steam.

Whenever Sony released that Playstation Accessories app, I stopped needing to use something like DS4Windows, so I'm not sure if that included a driver to make everything just work or not but my Dualsense has been usable without Steam for a while now and I don't need that Playstation Accessories app open either.

Steam Controller offers more functionally than the xinput drivers consider. You say that the SC has to support xinput, when in reality xinput needs to support the SC.

>>
>>738187021
Apparently I don't even have Playstation Accessories installed on this computer, so it might have been from a firmware update on Sony's end? I'm really not sure, I just know the results and the results are that I need to use a Pro Controller 2 through Steam while the Dualsense is completely fine to play games without Steam running. I do play wired though because it's the Dualsense and the battery life is shit.

>>738186885

>>738186651
Dualsense just werks
>>
>>738187227
I'm quite certain that sony has never added xinput to the dualsense's firmware, so I really don't know what you're experiencing. The dualsense controllers are directinput only, and their gyro+trackpad data is sent as raw HID. If you're playing a game compatible with directinput, it'll work as a basic controller, but for most games (xinput) you'll need a driver or software translation. Are you sure you don't have anything else installed? Maybe you added a driver? Left steam running on startup? idk man it's your computer.

Maybe that wasn't what I was trying to ask. I should have asked why is the possibility of a third-party driver that handles this the way people expect a problem? Is there no low-level access that Valve is providing to any software outside of Linux? Or is the OP just being a fag as usual?

Steam isn't running on startup and I didn't install any particular driver that I'm aware of. I'm really not sure myself, I just tried it with Silksong since I have the GoG version and the PS5 controller works but the Switch 2 Pro controller doesn't.

The Switch 2 Pro controller needs Steam input right now while the PS5 controller doesn't, it's weird.
>>
>>738187478
Third parties would technically be able to do it. However, winslop being proprietary malware will pose annoyances for either the developers of the driver or its users.
Developers will have to get the driver signed by windows, which costs money, for users to be able to just install it.
If developers don't want to pay for the signature, users will have yo disable Driver Signature Enforcement (DSE) on their windows machines, which is a (((security risk)))

Silksong itself native supports dualsense, maybe that's why?

Hardware by design is usually more restrictive than any form of software. But Valve doesn't stop any other software from taking over their hardware, Valve acknowledges it's your hardware and you can do anything with it, it just so happens that the software that Valve offers is usually leagues ahead, thanks to their investment in free and open source software as well as features for their proprietary platform that integrates rather seamlessly with this free and open source software.

valve themselves added support for linux, and they only did that for steamOS then later pushed it upstream so mainline distros could use it too. But make no mistake, valve did this because it benefits the 'eck and the 'achine directly.

So I don’t really get what happened to the PC Master Race Movement. We all spent years (since at least 2007) extolling the virtues of keyboard and mouse. We ALL believe that KB&M is superior. But now we’re being forced to buy this $100 chinkshit? And if we don’t, we’re Indian? Is everyone from the old Gaben/PCMR movement considered Indian now? We were White Americans 20 years ago, is this some kind of out-of-India theory?
>>
>>738193175
is this what your schizo hallucinations told you?
no one is making you buy a controller
>>
>>738193175
KB&M is pretty good but some games are good with controller too. The benefit of PC is that you can use both and in any setting you want, be that sitting in front of your desk or lying a coach.
>>
>>738193175
>But now we’re being forced to buy this $100 chinkshit? And if we don’t, we’re Indian?

You aren't forced, and you aren't indian if you can't, just poor. Indian is when you say its literally useless compared to Microsoft xbox controller.
>>
>>738192630
I think the issue is that the xinput drivers are licenced by Microsoft, which valve is actively competing with. I doubt valve would want to pay their main competitor to use a controller API that doesn't even support half the features of the steam controller when valve provides their own for free

Why did they ruin it by making it PlayStation style? I've bought and returned literally 7 or 8 different controllers. Nothing beats xseries but xseries has the A button problem. It fucking sucks

>>738194964
Its a joke. A joke about how LITERALLY no xbox controller has gyro
>>
Maybe I have too low expectations, but after using DS3 on PC for many years with a 3rd party driver, SC2 not having standalone system level driver for a platform Valve wants to encourage people to leave is par for the course. It'll have something hacked together for Windows eventually.

anon there are zero controllers that work without software support, you're assuming that steam's controller needing driver support is somehow different from the xbox controller needing to interface with the xinput api (or whatever windows is calling its successor) just because almost everyone has made the conscious decision to implement it.
if anything the fact that the controller functions as a keyboard/mouse without deliberate support puts it at a distinct advantage, if you plug almost any other controller into a computer that has not been programmed to support it then it is a brick.

playstation controllers were in a similar boat until mid-ps4 lifecycle too, connecting a ps3 controller to a pc required some crazy workarounds until someone non-chinese decided to make a tool for them that worked. The only reason people think the xbox controller standard doesn't work the same way was because that software started being rolled out with every windows computer.
>>
Yeah but does it work with the xbox app? I still get gamepass for a month to play the new forza, gears, etc slop

Wrong.
Controller input is handled like this:

Outputting data to the controller is like this:

>>
>>738196463
It supports SDL, which practically all emulators use, so yes.

>>738196537

It depends on the emulator. If you need a gyroscope in emulator, you will have to use cemu hook, since steam input does not provide raw gyroscope values.
>>
>>738193175
You faggots are so fucking insufferable, this isn't meant to be a total replacement for KB&M, it's an alternative for people that want something slightly better than a regular controller for mouse games but don't want a whole desk setup. KB&M is still going to be better for PvP
>>
>>738196886
You literally cannot use it with gamepass (xbox app) games, wdym?
You can't even add those as non-steam games to steam (believe me, I've tried) as most of them are installed as encrypted apps.

Valve doesn't given ownership of the games it sells to people, why would it give you ownership of it's hardware?

Valve is a company of liars and frauds. They do not deserve your money for their consumer-unfriendly practices.

well yeah, they are the definition of it
seething, lying, and desperately trying to stop people from buying a decent controller while its in stock.

works fine for me
>>
>>738205637
can you even play games with that card?
>>
>>738205637
tell us what you're playing
the time i tried the first 10 games i tried worked great (lies of P probably the beefiest among them)
Then I tried Oblivion Remastered and Hogwarts Legacy and they kept black screening me. Went back to Lies of P and it was fine.
60% of stuff works, the rest just doesnt, not without you dicking around with stuff for awhile anyway

yes
>>738205768
a variety of games
I played Hogwarts back on my 3090 just fine when it came out on launch day im pretty sure, haven't revisited it since I finished it back then but it played great on the OG Steam Controller
>>
>>738206012
you're being dishonest here. If you have some weirdo AI card that you can't normally even buy and you've been running Linux for games since Hogwarts came out you're probably doing shit like writing your own drivers

Did you add more this time? I lost track of how much this has grown

>>738206093
>that you can't normally even buy
they are easily buyable directly through newegg business (I am not a business)
>you've been running Linux for games since Hogwarts came out
ive been using it as my only OS for way longer than that by now
hell, I first got into it on my laptop when I went to college ~2014ish and didn't really ever look back afterwards

t. writes his own drivers
chad overall but i dunno why you're telling people it "just works"
also why do people run Nvidia cards with AMD cpu's, that shits weird.
>>
>>738206245
>t. writes his own drivers
nah, I don't
I do add patches to fix some stuff for the Bigscreen Beyond on Linux but I'm not a coder, just a SysAdmin monkey
>chad overall but i dunno why you're telling people it "just works"
nvidia loves their modern cards so if you're on the latest sloppa it usually works fine
maybe a few games like Pragmata give you shitty luck with Ray/Pathtracing on certain driver versions but if you're on distro where you man move around on drivers its not so bad
AMD isn't perfect either, I ran a 7900XTX for years and ran into issues and break-fixes with that as well
>also why do people run Nvidia cards with AMD cpu's, that shits weird.
why would I? AMD CPUs are ballin for gaming and compute all in one
>>
>>738206447
you're also probably not just running the version of bazzite someone from here would click on, you're own some fancy distro and set up a bunch of stuff ages ago that the tranny devs forget about
>>
>>738206682
im using gentoo but afaik Bazzite has nvidia driver choices in its installer
that said, I would not wish an immutable distro upon anyone for their main PC
>>
>>738206864
Yeah it does, and they don't really work that well. That's the normal person experience. No one else is gonna manually configure gentoo.
Mystery solved
>>
>>738206926
i mean the latest drivers for Nvidia are basically fine, so if the distro is up to date you'll be OK (still assuming you're on a modern Nvidia card because Nvidia only cares about those customers)
you don't really have to get complicated with it these days

My Dualsense has been developing a drift issue on the left analog stick. It finally went to shit today right after I purchased my Steam Controller. Shit drifts up like a mother fucker and is hard to control suddenly. I've only had the controller for about 2-3 years. The timing was almost perfect.
>>
>>738207354
i just got replacement hal-effect or whatever sticks for my dualsense edge when i switched over to that and popped those in, they'll be fine forever

Too bad I have a regular Dualsense. Basically just trash at this point. May need to look up how easy it would be to swap in TMR sticks on it. Maybe I can salvage it.
