You can even set the gyro to only activate if you touch the touchpad, which can be useful for fine aiming in shooters.

Even if you don't want to, or can't, use it as a touchpad in some games, you can still bind it to be an additional pair of buttons or keys. Even if you never use the gyro, the touchpad alone is super useful.

The DS4 is a better PC controller than the Xbox 360 or Xbox 1 pad is really, especially for gaming on Steam. Nacon also makes 'pro' controllers that are even more expensive than the official standard ones, so don't immediately give up looking if you see a stupidly expensive Nacon gamepad, they make several types, some are cheaper and some are more expensive. They also make a DS4 pad that has stick placement similar to the Xbox sticks 'Nacon Asymmetric Wireless'. Look into Nacon gamepads for the best value/quality ratio. They come in wired and wireless versions. You can also look into a generic version, which should be even cheaper and still have the touchpad and gyro features. You can get them fairly cheap if you shop around, cheaper than an Xbox 1 controller anyway. It also has a touchpad and gyro that can both be used with Steam and bound using the controller configuration menu in Steam. Though, you probably want to pick up a USB extension cable for it if you're going to use it to connect to a gamepad. If your phone is less than a few years old, you probably already have at least one of these cables. Every PC that has USB 3.0 will also have at least a couple USB 2.0 ports as well./EDIT If you aren't sure, USB 3.0 will be blue inside the port and USB 2.0 will be black.

It won't permanently break anything, but the signal from a USB 3.0 port interferes with Bluetooth, so always use a USB 2.0 port to connect a bluetooth dongle. Just remember that you should never plug any kind of bluetooth into or near a USB 3.0 port. Just go with Bluetooth 4.0 as it is backwards compatible and seems to be more reliable for the DS4. These dongles are much cheaper than the Xbox 360 or Xbox 1 wireless dongles and can be less than $10 US. Most of what you can buy will be 3.0 or 4.0 anyway. All 'wireless' DS4 controllers can be connected via a USB Micro cable and used as a wired pad.ĮDIT: If your PC has integrated bluetooth, great, if not, any kind of standard USB bluetooth dongle provided it is Bluetooth 2.1 or later will work. It is natively supported by Steam, can be connected via Bluetooth if you have that, and can also use a standard USB Micro cable. The DS4 or Dual Shock 4, is the Playstation 4 controller. The DS4 is a better alternative than the 360 pad. r/SteamDeck /r/SteamInput /r/GyroGaming /r/SteamControllerMods /r/SteamControllerMusic /r/ControllerSupporters /r/Steam /r/Steam_Link /r/SteamBox /r/SteamHardware /r/SteamOS /r/Valve Filters (subreddit theme must be enabled) Discussion / Configuration: Off News / Meta: Off Support: Off Discussion / Configuration: Off News / Meta: Off Support: On Discussion / Configuration: Off News / Meta: On Support: Off Discussion / Configuration: Off News / Meta: On Support: On Discussion / Configuration: On News / Meta: Off Support: Off Discussion / Configuration: On News / Meta: Off Support: On Discussion / Configuration: On News / Meta: On Support: Off Discussion / Configuration: On News / Meta: On Support: On Meta - Posts regarding the subreddit itself.
