Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn’t get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.
I can stream my PS5 to my Steam Deck, and use the gyro to aim in an first person game. Like, really fucking easily. I set it up so if I’m playing Chiaki4Deck and press one of the back buttons, it swaps between gyro on and gyro off.
I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn’t understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.
You people use the backbuttons?
I’ve been begging for such buttons since fucking 2009, and everyone laughed at me for wanting customizable controls.
Look who’s laughing now. (it’s me, with my mouse and keyboard and lack of friends and I never need to touch a controller again!)

Always, when a game tries to force me to use a stick-click to sprint or I need to perform an action with ABXY while turning via right stick/pad.
Their positioning is sadly uncomfortable for me, since I do enjoy the ones on my modded ps5 controller.
There’s bumpers you can add to raise up the back paddles. I wonder if those might help.
On most games yes, a typical example is I bind them to the thumbstck buttons, because using them wares down the thumsticks faster
All the time
