[QUOTE=jazzpunk;48909988]They sent out notices to people to confirm their address. Did you forget to fill it out or you didn't get that message?[/QUOTE]

I got mine through GAME, which doesn't ask to confirm address.

Got my steam controller, only had time to test it on Borderlands 2, it was weird.
I never played fps games on anything but a mouse so this is going to be a learning experience for me.

[Pepsi-cola]

My Link + controller came this morning preordered from steam.

[Hogofwar]

got the bonus portal 2/rocket league codes from GAME, shame I can't add them to my inventory.

Is there more to telling steam correct folder than editing the acf files in steamapps? I keep changing install dir to F which it should be instead of D which steam for some obscure reason tries to force to certain games but steam just keeps changing it back to D.

This is what has happened to certain games after they received update.

Alright, I've been playing a few games with my steam controller.
My main gripes with it are how small it is for me, the trackpads feel tiny for aiming, and too big to emulate an analog stick.

[editline]2015-10-16[/editline]

Yeah, my fingers are experiencing some serious fatigue from having to hold my thumbs in an L shape.

What games in particular does this happen with?

[QUOTE=Amaurus;48916980]What games in particular does this happen with?[/QUOTE]

L4D and L4D2 has been doing it lately, other game it happened with was GMOD and I decided to fully reinstall that because it has been ages since I even touched that and full reinstall wouldn't hurt.

[Buck.]

My steam link and steam controller arrived today but I wasn't around and I missed it, gotta wait until tomorrow to pick them up now :(

Can't wait to try them out.

Does this mean there is an official nude model of the spy

[theevilldeadII]

[b]I[/B] have a Trade offer and I can see what he is offering but I can't see what he wants from me. ( that grey area where in the half point I see his item on top and mine on the bottom where steam says trade pending ). Is this a glitch or is he giving me the stuff for free ( which I doubt ),.?

[Komppu]

Asking the question that must be asked, does it vibrate?

[Werin]

I've had a couple of things in general make my controller completely stop responding while my mouse is hovering over them. One was the test for Blade and Soul and another was just task manager. Not sure whats going on there.

[Rantis]

So guys I thought id share this stuff I figured out:
Hello there fellow steam hardware owners! As some of you might have noticed there arent very many options to tweak and edit the steam controllers behavior. So I decided to make this thread explaining how to do it.

1) Navigate to your steam install location:

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\controller_base 

2) Next you are going to have to open steamdesktop.vdf in a text editor from there you can change most of the controllers functions when controlling the desktop.

Use the key_press command to change keyboard inputs
Use the mouse_button command to change mouse inputs

Cheers!

Here is a spare default vdf incase you completly screw it up:

Second Life

[Miya]

[QUOTE=Qaus;48918601]Second Life[/QUOTE]

the game is a movement mess already i dont think a steam controller will help this

edit:

the controller was actin retarded till i got the firmware updated.

the trackpad lightly vibrates every time you highlight over something clickable on the desktop, lol

wish i knew how to click things on this controller as A/start doesnt do anything

edit 2:

oh its right trigger for left click and left trigger for right click. what

edit 3:

moving around my desktop opening stuff is noticably slightly less precise than a mouse but the controller is waaaaaay higher precision than a controller would be.
