Still no controller support?

[CommanderMark4]

I'm having a tendonitis problem for months and I just can't use a mouse for so long. I'm only able to play with a 360 controller. Anyone knows a workaround?

Basically go into Steam big picture mode and you can turn a PS4/Xbox360/Xbone controller into a steam controller, people probably have a profile for this game already. For Xbox controllers you need to have the Steam Beta enabled I believe, as there not on the live version of steam yet.

Basically this makes Key2joy or Xpadder pretty useless, now that steam does it natively. You just need to be in Big Picture mode. Also this is going to solve every game that doesnt have controller support for you if you have problems using a mouse.

Wow that is awesome!

I also recommend Steam Controller, it's a breeze. Gone through Terraria with it, now it's Starbound time. Nav is pretty precise in Mouse Region mode. I'm talking about Mouse Region for a reason, because so many people are trying to play it with regular mouse emulation, which is not really suitable for that kind of games and youtube are flooded with people struggle to play. If you happen to watch it you must know that they do not know what they are doing there.
Sorry for engrish.

Thanks for the tip.

I was trying to play Terraria with my X360C via Xpadder, but sticks very lacks precision: you better stick to melee in fight, because you can't shoot a thing quick, especially if you're jumping around like an idiot (and it's almost impossible in boss fights, unless you've made a really tricky arena), so if you stay still - you're deadman. But the most horrible thing was navigating inventory with it! Clicking those little icons was a hell. But I really wanted to enjoy it on my sofa.
Glad I got Steam Controller more than a year ago. I'm basically playing every single game through steam driver, including FPS, even non-steam games, even browser ones!
Already got SC to have every single key binded in Starbound.

Try to shoot rifle or manage inventory in SB with Xbox Controller and then join my Steam stream to see how it's done with Steam Controller to see what I'm talking about. :)

You can get that precision now on PS4 and Xbox controllers now that they act exactly like a Steam controller, enabled by going into steam big picture mode, I will agree with you that Steam Controllers were better in that aspect, but now with the actual drivers in place for the other controllers to act like a Steam controller, You can get waaaay better performance then Xpadder etc. Basically if you like your PS4/Xbox controller better, give it a try now, you'll be surprised to find they match a Steam controllers input methods perfectly.

I did, the moment xinput controllers support hit the beta client - I plugged my XBC to try it out.
It's a matter of hardware actually. You can't get the same precision with joystick compared to touchpad whatever driver you're using. I don't own DS4 (PS4) controller, it has touchpad, so maybe it's slightly better than other controllers but it's touchpad position (in the middle) isn't good for intensive use and can cause some hands strain, I suppose. XB controller still stands way out of league.
Another thing, that Steam Configurator still missing some really good features that XPadder has (should I name it? But believe me), but in other hand it has it's uniques. IMO, the latest XPadder version is better and WAY MORE stable but it costs $, so if you don't own it - stick to free steam drivers :) .
Do you have Steam Controller? I assure you that any of those controllers can't match magnetic dualstage triggers and 2 SC's touchpads.
Steam Configurator emulates dual stage triggers but it's (still?) faulty, you can test it yourself.
