  It’s 10% of users using Steam Input, not all steam users.

  Valve mentioned that daily controller use has jumped to 15% from around 5% since 2018, and that around 42% of these sessions use Steam Input.

    Oh. That makes sense, I play mainly on SteamDeck, but I’ve been thinking of getting a Steam Controller for my PC, since the majority of what I’ve bought in the last year has been “SteamDeck Verified”.

      I mean steam already provides information on controller support, and will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in. Afaik they don’t even sell steam controllers anymore.

        Today I learned that. It never came up for me since I do most of my game shopping on my phone. That could be really helpful later. Thanks!

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding – I was saying that 10% of users using Steam input would be from the 132million active users. So 3% of Steam users having Steam Decks that use Steam Input account for said 10%?

      not all active users use steam input. vast majority use M&K, looks like 15% use controller,

      so about 21m people use controllers, and about half of that is steam input?

      so 10m, so 10% of 10m is 1million active steam deck users it seems
