The second episode of Steam Input Essentials takes an in-depth look at the Triggers section of the software while also detailing how the Steam Controller's triggers are different from the Xbox and Dualshock controllers. We also look at how the software manages to emulate the Steam Controller's unique trigger hardware for the Xbox and Dualshock controllers. (Steam Controller, Dualshock, Xbox, Switch)

Big thanks for this, going to have to look over a bunch of my configurations now 😬

Niklas Gustavsson haha, I know it seems frustrating to go back to older configs with new knowledge but that's part of the fun of profiling software (to me anyways). A config is never perfect and can always be more efficiently tweaked. Also, I'm glad that you found the video informative enough to get your brain making new connections about how to use the software. That's my entire goal with the project so it's a bit rewarding to hear that it had that effect on you. 😁

so I can't use the analog output for rotating an objet slowly and then use the digital output when I want to activate full pull double press turbo to shoot fast?

Sorry for the stupid question, how did you do that thing with the sniper scope in csgo?

So if I do soft pull as mouse click that means it will act like button press

Oh man I'm playing Resident Evil 4 recently after coming from the PS5. I wanted to use the gyro aiming feature from the PS5. However setting it up in Steam is very annoying and hard to understand. These videos are a freaking godsend. Thank you!

So when I’m playing asphalt 9, I’m obviously Doing some drifts, but when holding down my drift button for longer periods, it will suddenly stop giving an output so my drift stops mid turn on longer turns, which is annoying. Anyone know how to make it so that the output lasts longer?

The triggers on the switch controller feels like a button press. (Like the A button) Would I have to Soft Pull only? And should I put the Soft Pill Point slider all the way to the left?

@criticalinput 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the Switch controllers have digital triggers so they're either 0% or 100% -- nothing in between. I'm not sure how Steam views them but I would start with assigning bindings to Full Press first and see how that turns out. If the bindings don't work then try Soft Pull. But my gut says you shouldn't need to worry about Soft Pull bindings or settings at all if you're using a Switch controller.

@@criticalinput A few weeks ago I started playing a game, and the buttons were in the wrong place.. I set the controller to switch layout, and that made all the buttons work, but the buttons were still in the wrong place. So I'm just binding buttons. Now I'm checking the Oblivion controls manual, and I'm matching the buttons to my switch pro controller. Thanks for the information

Is there any reason why with "trigger" commands on a Fightstick don't register in game? For example: hitting L2 or R2 on the controller does not do so in game even though the controller registers the input to the computer.

@criticalinput Жыл бұрын

Could be a couple of things. First I'd make sure that the input is leaving Steam properly (gotta get a controller checker for that) then I'd make sure the game accepts analog inputs via injected emulation (which is how Steam Input functions). Worst case scenario would be using GloSI in tandem with Steam Input to get a global XInput driver for whatever game you're trying to play. Alternatively, switch from Steam Input to something else for this. Assuming your fightstick is a PS4 fightstick you could use wither JoyShockMapper (free but no GUI) or reWASD (paid but looks great and is easy to use).

does this not work in the new steam beta?

@criticalinput Жыл бұрын

Steam has a totally new UI for Steam Input that I have zero experience with. However from what I've heard none of the features have been removed, they've just been hidden. What used to take 3 clicks across 2 screens now takes 5 clicks across 4 screens. It's a pain for any power user to work with.

I still dont understand. I'm searching about this kind of tutorial. I want to have more control on my Right Trigger button for throttle, and I want my Left Trigger button for Brake. Simply i want to adjust my triggers sensitivity. What happens is that when I press my Right Trigger button, it is instantly at full throttle. Unlike when I tried a steering wheel w/ pedals i had more control of the speed of the car.

@criticalinput Ай бұрын

I'm not sure what the modern UI looks like but in this older one you would want to leave the Soft and Full Pull Bindings blank since those are digital bindings. You would want to use the Trigger Analog Output setting and change it from Analog Off to either Left Trigger or Right Trigger, depending on which button you're wanting it to be assigned to. This will give you an analog binding which is used for fine control of an axis.

Essential on Steam input is to have DeLorean and go back to time when things still worked perfectly because there was no steam input.

I....don't understand this. Are you saying that Steam "worked better" before they duct taped Steam Input onto it?

Dude your explanation for using an xbox controller for a fps game dont make sense to me, rewatched about 6 times now and cant figure out what's wrong, like middle section is options for analog stick left for digital I'm tryna use digital, since I play overwatch and cod been fucking with these settings for over 3 hours and it wont work still idk wtf is going on with this trash ass setting bs

@criticalinput Жыл бұрын

So this could be two things -- either your config is wrong or the games in question don't like Steam's method of input sending. If your joystick is set to digital with WASD assigned to the four directions, you ran the game through Steam, and the controller still doesn't work then there's a good chance that the game isn't compatible with Steam Input. As far as I knew Valorant was the only game that detected this and blocked it but things might have changed. If that's the case then you'll need to use another profiler. And if Activision/Blizzard is doing the same thing Riot does with Valorant than the only software that will bypass their detection is reWASD.
