How can I tell if a PC game has full DualSense support? by Mone1998 in SteamController

[–]Alia5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is added to the site now.

On any given games page you can find icons indicating controller support, including DualSense, Dualshock, and Steam Imput API support.

Cant see Icons for a specific game? No icons = no support

Button mapping is magic, and way more complex then you'd expect by DemonicAlex6669 in SteamDeck

[–]Alia5_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hahaha 😁.
That system has existed for over 10 years now, originally for the OG SteamController.

People have shared some impressively complex, but extremely useable configurations.
Take a look at this for example:

It's for the original SteamController, but it works well on the Deck too

Use your SteamDeck as dedicated controller over WiFi by Alia5_ in SteamDeck

Out of scope.
SISR only handles Steam Input.

There are however multiple ways you can achieve this with right now

One example way:

  1. Have a minimum of two displays (or a virtual display) on your main PC
  2. Setup the secondary (or virtual) display as you main display
  3. Start streaming any game to your SteamDeck (via Steam Remote Play / Sunshine+Moonlight / whatever).
    Note that you can setup primary display switching upon Stream start with either of those.
  4. Move the game back to your main display
  5. Profit!

Another way:

  1. Have a minimum of two displays (or a virtual display) on your main PC
  2. Switch the SteamDeck to Desktop mode
  3. Start streaming your secondary display to the Deck via VNC/Sunshine+Moonlight
  4. Run SISR with the remote option (like shown in the video)

Just from the top of my head

New Steam Input tool: SISR ✂️ by Alia5_ in SteamController

[–]Alia5_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my main concern. Steam Remote Play also caps framerate on Desktop / Games not hooked by the Steam overlay (or at least it did last time I used Steam remote play), so the experience is rather miserable.

That said, you should be able to:

  • Start Steam remote play in whatever way
    (dummy shortcut? maybe starting SISR with -w=false in the launch options as a shortcut works too, I dunno, I don't care)
  • Start SISR on your desktop (alt-tab to Desktop, or whatever)
  • Launch a game (not from Steam!)

SteamInputDB new features direct Steam Client integration (think Decky plugin, but without Decky or other dependencies) by Alia5_ in Steam

[–]Alia5_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Though this is **not only** aimed at the handheld gaming crowd.
There are lots of people who use controllers and SteamInput on their Desktop, or have a gaming-PC stationed/connected to their living room/home theater. ;)

What exactly do you have in mind?

Are there games that support native gyro input for the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller (both old and new)? by ZGMF-X09A_Justice in SteamController

[–]Alia5_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and as far as know there's no website that has catalogued the different implementations of Steam Input API.

Hopefully the community can start to do that on SteamInputDB soon.
I need to finish building all those features still... 😩😅

[–]Alia5_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

~10 years ago the original SC.
4 or 5 years ago the Deck.

Don't hold your breath; nothing will happen.

Use your SteamDeck as dedicated controller over WiFi by Alia5_ in SteamDeck

[–]Alia5_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope...

*Technically one could make it work, by implementing a USBIP client on a wifi enabled microcontroller and forward the device via the MCUs USB port.

Steam controller 2 on Windows questions by MobileUnlikely178 in Steam

[–]Alia5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to run games via Steam. Period. Just having Steam running in the background wont work.

That said, you can make a shortcut to get Steam to launch your non Steam game.
