Comment on Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027

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.

It definitely does this. But why would that matter. The computer sees joy sticks and buttons. You can map accordingly?

  Without Steam, my Steam Deck’s inputs are scroll wheels and mouse buttons and the computer sees no sticks and buttons. That’s my point.

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

  Cool. Which button combo is it? help.steampowered.com/en/…/33E8-5EDF-24E6-4CFB doesn’t list it and instead actually says that Steam is required to properly use it.
