Steelseries Stratus XL controller mapping wrong

[Cosmo]

Hi,

I have been trying to get my Steelseries Stratus XL to work correctly with the Steam Link for some time, but have had only minimal success. The controller will connect wirelessly and the link recognizes it, but the buttons are mapped wrong (for example, X is read as Y, and right bumper counts as Start). This is not so much of a problem in games where one can remap the buttons, but in those which do not have button remapping (for example, The Wolf Among Us) there is nothing to be done... Since the Stratus XL is based on the Xbox 360 button scheme, why can't it be read as one? Can we expect a possible fix in the future? I know others have requested this, but a button mapping feature built into the Link would be very helpful...

For the meantime I am connecting the Stratus to my host PC instead, leaving a wired controller plugged into the Link so it doesn't kick me to the no controller connected screen.

Unfortunately this controller does not seem very popular, but I got it in the hope I could use it with my Gear VR, PC, and Link and get rid of other extraneous controllers... unfortunately that has not been the case so far.

I've got a stratus xl too, same problem. My host pc is too far away for direct connect though.

I also have the same issue. Steelseries isn't some 3rd party knockoff brand, and the Stratus is an excellently designed controller. It seems pretty ridiculous that there isn't an easy way to fix this

This controller should be here in a few days and I'll add support for it.

Thanks!

So I just got the Steelseries Stratus XL, and I paired it via Bluetooth to the Steam Link, and immediately got the controller mapping UI. I was able to map all the inputs on the controller and verify them in the controller settings. I then started streaming and it worked perfectly for me.

The only problem that I found is that the left stick also moves the mouse, which confuses some games.

Have you tried going into the controller settings on the Steam Link and remapping the controller?

Has there been any fix? I have tried remapping but it still continues to move the mouse all over.

I have this exact issue as well, have tried multiple troubleshooting methods like updating both the controller and the steam link. Seem's crazy there hasn't been a fix for this.

This is built into the controller, which also acts as a mouse. As far as I know there's no way to turn it off.

Can this not be disabled in Steam in any way?

SOLUTION for Windows (Not sure about Steam Link):

This controller plagued me for a bit, but it's more the fault of Steam and Windows than it is the controller's.

Windows updates caused the firmware on the controller to need to be updated. This must be done by plugging a USB into the port inside the battery compartment on the controller and updating through Steel Series Engine.

Steam Big Picture has a controller configurator that allows for a "Desktop Mode" for the controller. It causes the controller to behave like a mouse (a function these controllers can already do on their own; click both stick for a few seconds and again to disable) as well as binding each button to a different keyboard key. This CAN BE DISABLED. Sort of.

You must go to Steam Big Picture > Settings > Controller Category - Base Configurations > Desktop Configuration. This will open a Layout/Configuration Screen. You have two options here: 1) Manually unbind every single button, including the sticks. 2) Press the "Browse Configurations" Button (X) and find a profile that says "Disabled" and Import it.

This may not stick, so you might have to do it more than once, but once it sticks, it works and the controller behaves as an X-Input should. The only button that doesn't seem to work is the Home Button. Not a major deal, but I'm still looking into that one.

Hope this helps.

Archangel, any luck figuring out the 'guide/home' button?
