Valve’s Steam Controller launched last month, and today, the company has released an update for the input device that improves several aspects of use.
Valve has improved the Steam Controller’s Mouse-Like Joystick control option, which allows users to play games that don’t support simultaneous mouse and gamepad input to be able to do so with the controller. The controller also now supports Mouse Regions and Touch Menus, both of which can be extremely helpful when playing real-time strategy or role-playing games.
The Steam Controller now also can be used when you’re outside of Steam for text entry. Today’s update allows users to create a configuration to use their controller on their desktop, which those who own a home theater PC will get the most use out of.
Valve also has some additional features expected to release in the next Steam Beta client, which is available today. The beta will allow the Steam Controller to travel with their controller’s game configurations, which only requires them to register their controller to download configurations from your account. Non-Steam game support will also be supported in the Steam Beta client, which automatically find configurations from other users to be used in non-Steam games.
In addition to today's update, Valve has also published a video showing how its Steam Controller is created. You can check out that video below:
