What's a Steam Controller? I am going to guess the obvious... a mechanism that controls steam? Where would you use something like this other than an ancient boiler or steam locamotive?

Jeremie · Answer

Lol, I believe he means the new wireless controller from the gaming company Valve. The Steam controller is meant to be used with a Steambox gaming PC/console.

I don't know anyone who owns one yet.

*edit: Here's a pic

DJ Sures · Answer

Will it add to the PC as a regular joystick? If so, it will work with the existing joystick control. Are there different features than a regular joystick?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Pinocchio maybe you would be smarter if you learned how to Google...

DJ Sures · Answer

Looks like it comes with its own config utility: https://lifehacker.com/the-steam-controller-is-the-pc-controller-ive-been-wait-1744646981 I don't think any changes will need to be made in ARC for it. Simply connect it to the PC, use the configuration tool to customize the behaviors and ranges for your needs, and use the existing Joystick Control in ARC: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=43

feganmeister my appolegies for changing your topic. for you too richard r. we here in belgium can see 30 % less from what you can see on the internet.

feganmeister · Answer

Woah! Woke up to a full inbox To clarify, yes I'm refering to the Steam Controller supplied by Valve as @Jeremie mentioned. @DJ-Sures, the device connects as a standard keyboard and mouse, so the joystick controls in ARC won't work. Although, the trackpad works great, but there are tons or other features on the controller I want to use (e.g. gyro). The configuration utility is for Steam only (i.e. games/apps launched within their application) but I've already tinkered with adding ARC as a "game" and it kind of works. I'll keep this thread updated with the best fit I can find so maybe others will find it useful in the future...
