[HonZuna]

I have always connect my Logitech G27 racing wheel and when i start Big Picture and G27 is connect Big Picture every time stuck, and make bzzzzzzzzz sound.

I can confirm this bug, I am haing the exact same issue. It is disappointing as I really like the Big Picture UI but this bug will keep me from using it until it is fixed.

I can't believe Steam has not fixed this stupid bug yet... it just stops people with a wheel like G25 or G27 from using the Big Picture UI... please have a look at this or AT LEAST give the option to disable controls auto detect...

Well I tried to run Big Picture Mode today after seeing there was a Steam update.
It's embarassing for you people at Steam... I can't believe you have not fixed this bug yet. Do you REALIZE there are thousands of people that CANNOT use the big picture because when you have a wheel plugged in the interface go crazy? is it that difficult to give people the option to at least DISABLE controllers in the Big Picture Mode?
Valve really disappointed me on this matter, really disappointed.

I can confirm this problem: the Logitech G27 wheel appears to be misinterpreted by "Steam Big Picture" as continually sending Arrow-Down events. This also affects games such as "Post Apocalyptic Mayhem", allowing you only to look backwards, which makes it kinda awkward to figure out where you're going, until you think to unplug the G27 wheel. What's technology coming to, when we have to unplug a G27 wheel from a racing game? Meh!.

hello Steam. I can add my comment to the ones above: when in Big Picture mode, the pedals in "rest position" are interpreted as up/down inputs making impossible to navigate through the menus properly. please ensure this bug is fixed promptly.
I can propose two solutions:

1) for input peripherals with multiple axis (3 axis plus steering on G27) Big Picture should have a "setting" option to tailor inputs to use the menus (IE directional pad and 4 buttons) [quite cheap to achieve]

2) a setting to outright disable any plugged in controllers in Big Picture mode. [very cheap to achieve]

I hope a company like Valve will listen to us consumers,
thanks

I have a G25 like stated above. I simply stopped using the Big Picture interface... looks like nobody at Valve has a wheel...

Hope Valve corrects this bug, it is very annoying. Should at least have a configuration to ignore the wheel as a controller for the Big Picture interface.

Please include a simple select/disable controller option in Big Picture!

i agree with that i have the same problem and i got two devices connected my logitech g27 and the genius maxfire blaze 3 we need something to manage more than just one controller in bigpicture i got simulator car racing games on fps games o i dont be plug ing and unpluging controllers

[dvlcube]

I have this problem as well.

I tried rebinding the keys for Big Picture, but it does not seem to be possible.

I can't believe this problem still hasn't been fixed.

I just bought a Logitech G27 racing wheel and have experienced the same issue.

I appreciate that Valve are still working to make Steam Big Picture Mode better but at the moment it seems to have a lot of small bugs and other limitations so that while the interface looks nice it's not quite there yet.

Off topic, but I am also disappointed that when I go to the Genres section I do not get an option to show ALL GAMES of that genre. Why is it only New Releases, Top Sellers, Specials and so on. I appreciate that I can just go through regular Steam for this but still - it's disappointing.

Fix BPM for Windows first before you screw about trying to make Steam OS. Oh, and Half Life 3. : )

[Ícaro Muniz]

Same with my g27. =[

[alecberdukov]

Same here.

UPD: Found a small temporary solution that still needs to be tested:

Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers and click right mouse on "G27 Racing Wheel" --> "Game controller settings", select "Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB" and click "Properties". Then go to Settings and check "Combined (single axis - used for most games)" box.
