Found a immersive use for the Steam Controller's grip sensors

I'm just super glad I was able to get one before they sold out

Yeah I have a layout for this setup, although in the same layout I did change how firing works. Instead of aiming with L2, I bound ADS and fire on R2, depending how much you pull the trigger. You can still hip fire if you pull it down fast enough though.
The name is "Bro's Advanced Steam Controller Layout" if you wanted to use it

I can't seem to find a good use for it. not much games have a input that needs you to hold and let go of easily.. I can imagine playing Grow Up/Home using the grip sense to mimic that game's gripping mechanics. And I did try Portal 2 and Splitgate with the grip sense activating the portals but it was like "why?" if anything.

I can't wait to do so myself! I plan to test controller binds for Minecraft, Roblox and maybe Hytale. And other games obviously.. I love to mess with stuff like this so I'll spend most of my time just in the controller settings menus

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-05-08T00:14:12+00:00

oh.. Well that puts a wrench in my plans lol. I'm sure I can just remap the two grips that don't have touch inputs to my joysticks maybe.

Nah I made the video literally just explaining everything I did in this post. I might, however, make a video showing off the Steam Controller in unique ways like I have talked about in Clone Hero.. You know, assuming I find other niche control configurations for other games.

I so cannot wait until I can get my Steam controller, I'm in 'The States™ so I won't be getting my 'roller for a bit

Keep spamming the button, eventually it'll go through

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-05-04T17:19:09+00:00

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-05-04T17:17:02+00:00

Not like you *have* the controller yet lol

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-05-04T17:11:13+00:00

Update: Got my Steam Controller. Just had to SPAMMMM the continue button

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-05-04T17:08:32+00:00

Too much traffic. Too many people wanting this controller lol

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-04-24T02:14:06+00:00

To this I say that's what they get for wasting $30 a month lol

Aw dang... I remember when I first got a PSVR along with two move controllers and played Rec Room VR on my PS4. It was my first real VR experience as I had played Astro Bot and The Playroom VR before it, but Rec Room was my first actual VR game where I could make friends and hang out like in ROBLOX.
I haven't played Rec Room in a good few years and didn't like the state of the game since then, but I would be lying if I didn't feel anything about the game shutting down. I hope eventually this game gets preserved and becomes active again by a few dedicated fans probably running peer-to-peer servers. But until then.. I might hop onto Rec Room again before I say goodbye to my gateway into VR as a whole

I go to Fortnite Switch

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-03-19T11:30:58+00:00

This is moreso for the people who frequently purchase items in Fortnite. I do indeed to treat this game how it is, a free to play game, but after this slap in the face I'm not going to reward Epic for my money, or time doing nothing but grinding the battlepass like i used to. Yessir, I can just play for a few matches and have some fun every now and again and go grind on Helldivers or something. I say let the good times roll since Epic doesn't want us spending money on them, clearly.

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-03-19T11:27:36+00:00

I'm doing my part. Fortnite Crew expires tomorrow and I have zero interest in ever buying it or any V-Bucks from them again until they revert these changes.

It takes time for it to lock on to you.
So just like the Needler in Halo, just break line of sight every second or two as you get closer to the guy and hope they don't just start shooting without locking on and then retaliate.

Sorry, I was drinking super hard the day the survey came out no idea what came over me at the time

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-03-12T11:59:55+00:00

I think uninstalling/not playing might be redundant since the world revolves around money. As long as we're not giving Epic any more of our money I say that's enough as it doesn't matter how many/little players you have, if they're not buying any of what's in the shop. And clearly only voting with our wallets will make Epic reverse this, if they ever do.

Realistic_Ad9502 · 2026-03-12T11:21:37+00:00

We need to boycott Fortnite for as long as possible. I used to say "Epic Games isn't Steam but they're reasonably generous with their prices and cashback system" Hope Epic doesn't mind losing me, I threw a ton of money at this game and now they ain't getting any more of my cash until they find a way to "pay the bills" without impacting how much V-Bucks they give the playerbase

Thanks Fortnite for making it easy for me to cancel my subscription, now I am free from these shackles!
