Show Controller Support (Partial or Full) in the Steam Client
Is there any way of showing if a game has controller support via the main Steam client window? I know big picture mode has an option to show controller only but that's become useless as it now doesn't show "Partial Support" games which excludes a lot.

Is there a skin or something perhaps that shows controller support as an extra column alongside the disk space used, metacritic score, etc?

Games that have 'Controller Support' / 'Partial Controller Support' have this displayed in the store page in the client of the respective game on the right side. You'll have to visit the actual game page to see if the game has this option though but if a game is controller compatible; it will be listed on the game homepage.

Yeah, that's massively too long-winded which is why I said "in the Steam Client" specifically. I'm trying to go through nearly a thousand games and given how slow the store can be, it's not viable.

Does the list view help?

No, list view doesn't show controller support unfortunately (although you'd expect it to be one of the possible fields you can toggle).

Ah, I forgot about that. Makes sense, afterall, BP is to be controlled with a pad.

.... and big picture mode fails to show all controller enabled games. It's a partial list only.

I've already covered that wuddih - "I know big picture mode has an option to show controller only but that's become useless as it now doesn't show "Partial Support" games which excludes a lot".

It used to show games with Partial support too but for some reason they removed that, it only shows games with full support now.

Yup this part sucks. I hope they make a partial list filter soon or just a way to filter any game with gamepad support.

It gets even weirder. Some games marked as having partial support actually require no KBM at any moment whatsoever.
In other words, the database is too paranoid, so to say.

Bump.

Wanted to start a thread with the same suggestion, but since Everex already put one up, I'm signing it.

edit:
btw, I think the Suggestions and ideas forum would have been a better place for this?
