Can anyone tell me how to turn down the sensitivity down for an XBox controller?

Thanks!

Go to mouse and turn down the speed of that and it will do so for controller as well. I have mine at 0.

you can also turn it down through the steam controller settings, which you can open from within the Prey controller menu as well... I think it is in the Advanced settings for the right stick, but I can't remember exactly. Anyway, this seemed to work the best for me. When I first went in to the setting, the sensitivity slider was nearly half-way up, but there is a little divider line near the lowest position that seems to be much closer to what it should be set it. When I set it there, it feels just like it used to for me... However I have to say, I really dislike the Steam controller settings thing overall, it is just way too confusing, especially when you have to do all sorts of rejiggering to get it to work on games that have native xinput support which shouldn't need any settings at all. But in this case, it seems to work, albeit in a rather unintuitive way. Not sure why Steam has to keep taking over things that really shouldn't be its responsibility. I've had no end of trouble with games that used to work fine with my xbox gamepad since they changed to this new controller api.

edit: Also, the advantage of doing it this way is it doesn't affect the mouse sensitivity in the game when you do it this way, so you can have a proper controller sensitivity without a super sluggish mouse at the same time.

To combat the weird drift problem with some controllers, try this when in game:

1. Shift-Tab to Steam Big Picture mode.
2. Choose Controller Configuration.
3. Click on the Joystick you want to adjust (I did both)
4. Click Advanced Settings.
5. Click Additional Settings
6. Click Dead Zone Shape, change it to circle (only necessary on the left stick)
7. Click Dead Zone Inner and increase to make a small circle in the black centre of the diagram that appears.

Repeat for the other stick. Adjust to taste (feel)

I actually didn't have any drift problems with mine, just sensitivity; but yeah, basically what you and I are both saying overall is that Prey has moved all of the controller settings into the new Steam API, so that's where any gamepad issues will be corrected now, not in the in-game settings (though you can open the Steam controller window from within the Prey settings menu, no need to do it through Big Picture or the like)

No problem, any time! =) And besides, if there's one thing that bugs the heck out of me, it's gamepad controls that are unintuitive or overly complex. I'm a left-handed gamer, and since the gaming peripheral industry has decided that we leftys don't matter when it comes to ergonomic gaming peripherals, gamepads are pretty much my only option, so when a game says they support the gamepad, that's what I expect when I play it, ya know? Not having to go through and make all sorts of fiddly adjustments or having to figure out what some obscurely named keybind is actually referring to in order to set it up properly. So, in other words, I'm glad to help if it saves someone else the same kinds of frustration I go through =)

No effect. You mean in windows? Because I don't see a place to do that in steam

This helped. Turning down the mouse sensitivity worked to control the left analog
