Valve has already sent support for the new Steam Controller upstream: https://www.phoronix.com/news/New-Steam-Controller-SDL


I feel like if I use this controller those trackpads will go crazy because of my fat hands.
Steam did an amazing job on the controller management, you can already remap everything. Disabling track pads should be easy
Almost everything. I’ve got this weird issue where my controller gets misrecognised as the wrong type, and there’s simply no way for me to force steam to recategorise it.
I’m just glad they have dual thumbsticks now. I bought their last model on sale but quickly shelved it. Couldn’t get used to the touchpads and didn’t want to spend the next 2 months sucking at every game I played.
“The hands you have used to game are too fat. To obtain a special gaming wand, please mash the controller with your palm now”
You would need REALLY massive hands to touch those when your thumbs are resting on the analog sticks or the face buttons.
