The reason it's not compatible is steam input is not some random controller spec it's specifically built for pc games and calls on hooks direct into the game that only steam input can make use of Xinput meanwhile from ms only sends forward controller input and leaves the game to handle what that does Steam input sends game controll instructions and it manages how the controller hooks into those Finally whilst cool a steam controller on any other system is kinda useless all of the custom inputs like touchpads and capacitive sensors are not supported by anything It's cool it can be done but this wasn't like Sony making up a custom spec just to be proprietary Valve created the spec because it fundamentally works different than how every other controller ever works Reply
