Steam does not recognize LOGITECH 3D PRO EXTREME as a controller in Games and Interface steam.
Why does the steam system not recognize this type of control in its own application when Windows 10 and 11 fully recognize it? If the steam application itself does not find the control, games that do not have their own support for the control itself will not recognize it either.
I would like this problem to be fixed so that the games work on an excellent controller.

for a quick test have you loaded steam into big picture mode? it used to have very good controller support where you could download controller configs from the community or make your own. worked with almost anything.

I just entered BigPicture mode and Steam still does not detect it as an active control, and windows 10 is detecting it perfectly and all the buttons are working. I already tried turning on support for generic controls, support for the XBOX control and nothing worked.

The logitech 3d pro extreme is a joystick, not a controller in the way steam is thinking of (gamepads).

What you said doesn't make sense for the following reason. Joystick and gamepads use the same X, Y, Z directional axes, the same Dpad, the same buttons. The difference is that the Joystick may have a little more buttons or functionality. It makes no sense not to recognize at least the basics of an official Xbox controller, as Windows itself recognizes the Joystick with all its features. This is a serious flaw in the accessibility of the Steam application itself and it influences games that cannot be played due to this lack of Joystick detection.

I find myself having the same issue. Windows reads it just fine, but Steam doesn't detect it at all. Was hoping I could find a solution to this.

I am having this same problem. Windows 11. The joystick is usable to pitch, yaw, roll. But that's it.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
