They are reactive, but their sensitivity flips between sluggish to super fast in the blink of an eye. Playing Left 4 Dead 2, Killing Floor 2 and Warhammer: End Times Vermintide, I’ve never been able to get the right sensitivity level on the pads. They work great on some titles, particularly turn based strategy games, like Pillars of Eternity, but they’re not up to scratch fast paced genres, like shooters. This means that in most games, a lot of the Steam Controller’s buttons haven’t been assigned an action. The control generally defaults to the Xbox pad’s layout if a custom Steam configuration hasn’t been set. I’ve found myself regularly having to build my own scheme from the ground up, just to get the most out of the Steam Controller’s improved button layout. Outside of a few notable exceptions, such as XCOM 2, the loadout system hasn’t taken off. The Steam Controller continues to feel like a beta product. However, many months on, this hasn’t happened. This should have made it easy to find decent control schemes for most games, even if the developer didn’t bespoke create a Steam Controller setup. You can then share any control scheme you make with the Steam community. The Steam Controller lets you customise what each button and axis does on a game-by-game basis.

The touchpads’ tweakable sensitivity also promised to offer mouse and keyboard precision on a gamepad – something console gamers moving to PC have longed for, for quite some time. The atypical touchpad setup and customisation options made the Xbox and PlayStation’s gaming pads look like archaic children’s toys last year. The Steam Controller brimmed with potential when it first came out.
