Yeah, the controller boots into “lizard mode” by default, which is a mouse emulation mode (Same as what’s used when the steam deck runs in desktop mode). You need to tell the controller to switch into actual “controller” mode (Which Steam handles when it launches a game), and once it does it functions as you’d expect.
It’s a bit weird to get your fancy new controller, plug it in, and find nothing can see it though.
Just run things through Steam. It’s what I’ve been doing anyway. I’ve already got like 8 hrs in that Dusk - Twilight Princess decomp thing, using my Steam controller by opening the game through Steam.
I even bound fast forward to one of the back buttons
As far as I understand the stream controller had functionality that was not supported by the normal input drivers.
