I can’t say I prefer using a controller for my PC gaming. In fact, 98 percent of my gaming is still done with a keyboard and mouse — there’s really nothing that remotely compares to them for accurate aiming.
That said, there are times when I play with one — like when I’m playing a platformer on my 65-inch TV. In that case, it’s much easier to kick back on my couch and relax with a gamepad in my hands. Who says you can’t have a console-like experience with a gaming PC?
The problem I’ve had in the past, though, is that some controllers have been a little finicky and haven’t worked for me from the get-go. I’ve discovered the key is to set them up properly in Steam first, to ensure they work in the games I want them to. Here’s how to do that…
How to set up your controller in Steam
Open Steam and select Settings in the top left corner of the browser. Now slide down and choose Controller.
Under External Gamepad Settings check the box on the right for the controller that best describes what you have. For example, you should check the box next to Enable Steam Input for Xbox controllers if you have an Xbox Controller, or check next to Enable Steam Input for generic controllers if you have a generic one.
