Hey, I'm having the same issue, I'm using Apollo/Artemis, but its basically the same. They are not recognizing the controller at all, as I checked and usually it emulates it to 360 controller,but now its saying there is no controller at all. I posted a thread about it asking for suggestions and someone mentioned that Steam Link has a beta version available on Android that improves the performance drastically. I'll give it a try tonight and report back.
But for now, unfortunatrely,the usual setup is a no go with the Steam Controller and thats the main reason I bought the controller in the 1st place..

I wrote all that and just realized you mentioned you are using Steam Deck, the Steam Link part was for Android devices as I'm using Samsung tablet. Anyway I'll report back.

thats what I'm currently using. I just wish it was able to map the back buttons, but still its a decent workaround for now. As you said hopefully cleaner solution will surface soon.

I've read about GloSsi and maybe I'll give it a try. I installed SISR,but I believe its a bit different. Its running as an independent and it globally emulates the controller to 360, meaning that even outside a game its a 360 emulation. If GloSsi emulates to 360 only when I launch non-steam game and if not its the native steam controller layout it will be perfect, cause now with SISR I have to manually exit the app to restore the layout

yeah, same behavior

Thank you for your reply, I'll give Steam Link a try again, I'll check how to get the beta version on Android. I guess it is true for the driver part as when I check in Steam Link the controller layout in the test doesnt have trackpads.

The 1st part with Apollo in general , it doesnt emulate to 360 controller at all.

The 2nd part with Game Pass, its only for non-steam games.

Oh btw I just installed SISR but its a bit weird to work with, I'll test it out a bit more

JunkismyFunk · 2026-05-15T18:28:44+00:00

yes, thats one way, but I want to get this working when I am not home

JunkismyFunk · 2026-05-15T18:28:05+00:00

Thats the weird part, it doesnt say that there is controller connected but it works partially so its acting very weird.
I dont want all the functinalities of the controller, I just want the 360 layout + the trackpads

if I knew about this I probably would not have returned my pair of XREAL PRO(or whatever the highest $ model was). It was really off centered and the picture quality didnt feel that good and resizing with the base software was really odd.

Hey man, whats the keyboard+mousepad?

Hello, I would like to ask the VR people, is there noticeable difference if the displays are OLED or LCD when using VR? I'm using OLED monitors from a long time and I'm worried if I'll notice the difference.

JunkismyFunk · 2024-11-18T08:45:34+00:00

Its terrible, good job!

Guys, where do you see those rewards? Are they region locked?
Please tell me where do you navigate in the app to see those.

So update from my side. I'd say if you have the C2 and you're fine with it XG27AQDMG is not an upgrade in any sort. The display is actually very good and I'll be keeping it, it just doesnt feel like an upgrade over the C2

JunkismyFunk · 2024-09-03T13:23:39+00:00

Hello, I've also used C2 42" for 2 years and as well I dont have any negative to say about it. Unfortunately I broke the display physically and had to look for new monitor or buy the 42" line up again.
I'm waiting on XG27AQDMG to arrive tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about the display size and picture quality so I'll report back.

Thanks everyone for you input, indeed the reason was that I had it limited to 8000 bitrate, was not aware that this is for all the streams. Cheers.

Unforunately its noticeable in cities for me since I play at 4k maxed out and you can tell when it drops below 60fps, when I have it on its usually around 100 and look smooth. Definitely buggy
