  Requirement? How so? Traditionally you can Mao any old controller for a game manually if you must. It pairs with my desktop on Bluetooth no problem.

    Are Gamers Nexus and other lying when they said that the controller acts are mouse without Steam? I don’t have one but that’s exactly how Steam Deck’s controls work.

      Yes, you can hit a shortcut on it to switch to controler input mode outside of steam

  I think there was software released from one of the Valve developers a week after the controller released, that makes it possible to use the controller outside of the Steam environment.

    Neat! I’ll have to look into that. I know that it would work without some of the features but they’re kind of the selling point of the controller.

  i actually end up using it more than i thought i would. if i am just casually browsing the web, i kinda just use the steam controller instead of my mouse now.

  It requires Steam only for the onscreen keyboard.
