How to use a controller on Steam
Just plug it in and most of the time Steam automatically recognizes it. If not, check Steam's 'Big Picture Mode' settings.

Hooking up a controller to Steam is super easy! Just plug your controller into your PC using a USB cable or connect it via Bluetooth. Then, fire up Steam, head to the 'Controller' setting in the 'Big Picture Mode', and follow the on-screen instructions to get it all set up. Steam supports a wide range of controllers, so whether you've got an Xbox, PlayStation, or even a Switch Pro controller, you're good to go!
Been using my PS4 controller on Steam for ages. Just plugged it in, chose it in the settings, and never looked back. Smooth sailing!
Honestly, Steam's controller support is overrated. Keyboard and mouse for the win every time.
