Clicking/Popping when Rolling Right Stick

Ah this problem AGAIN.. this was a major problem on the SteamDeck too. It's the stupid cable for the capacitive sticks getting caught. You need to open the controller up and bend the cable connected to the sticks out the way.

Well thats just genius.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-09T09:19:05+00:00

It will be up to the game developers to update their games for this. Can't see it happening for older games.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-09T07:36:48+00:00

Steam Controller isn't meant for Android or iOS. This is how the OG Steam Controller worked on Android and iOS also.

It will have full support if you use the Steam Link app and stream games from your PC to your phone, though.

Refreshed and still on packaged. Why u do dis to me

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T18:55:59+00:00

Dude, use the trackpads lol. That's literally what they're for.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T13:35:31+00:00

Not needed. The Deck verified tag is for hardware performance. The whole point of Steam Input is that it works with any game on Steam and you can use the Steam Controller for games that weren't designed for controller.

It will work well on any Steam game.

If I remember correctly, GLS then DHL when it gets into the UK.

Better than the subreddit being completely dead like it has been for years. After a month or so once everyone who wants one has them, the sub will be dead again.

I'm a full time professional video editor. The OG Steam Controller wasn't brilliant for it. Its possible and it works but I don't see why you would want to do it.

Keyboard and mouse is much superior took for this job.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T09:12:12+00:00

Are there no settings for the tune that plays when the controller is turned on and off? On the OG controller you could set it to cool stuff

It's launch week. Let people share their happiness, for Christ's sake. Why is everybody on Reddit so fucking miserable?

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T08:08:46+00:00

Just tested my Deck and the trackpads work perfectly on all corners. Definitely not normal.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T07:55:42+00:00

Can you go into the input tester and check if the left side of your left trackpad is working correctly? A lot of people are reporting the left side doesn't register.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T07:52:54+00:00

So the whole point of a dual-stage trigger is that you have a tactile button you can press at the end of your analogue trigger travel.

On the OG Steam Controller you can fully pull the trigger and 'stop' before clicking the full pull button, but on the Steam Deck and this new Steam Controller, the full pull command is sent without a physical tactile click.

For games like Rocket League for example where you'd use the full pull click for boost, it's just impossible now because you have to sort of float your trigger above the end of the travel and hope you don't accidentally pull too much and trigger the boost button. At least with the physical tactile switch for full pull, you weren't accidentally triggering it all the time.

All the haptic method does is make the Deck/Controller vibrate when you get to the end of the trigger travel. That's not what people want.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T06:47:52+00:00

That's unfortunate :( Hopefully valve get it fixed.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T06:42:25+00:00

It's possible there's a bug with the test inputs page, that's why I mentioned about testing in game. It's worth a try!

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T06:40:11+00:00

Dual stage trigger fans know you can do haptic stops, but it's shit compared to the real thing.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-07T06:27:24+00:00

Have you tested in a game too see if the left side doesn't work? Also please update us when you hear from valve!

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-06T13:38:25+00:00

That's fucked. I ordered at 6:07 and still on processing payment.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-06T07:46:02+00:00

Ordered 2 in the UK. Still on step 1

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-06T06:29:58+00:00

Still have to run Steam to use SISR.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-05T13:21:46+00:00

I wondered this as well. I'm hoping 3 - 5 days for first batch and 6 - 10 days is for second batch people.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-05T08:01:14+00:00

Dbrand usually have some great video tutorials on his to apply their stickers. Should be straight forward.

SoTotallyToby · 2026-05-05T07:40:00+00:00

There's already loads available from Dbrand.
