xbox360 controller: how to configure?

[jack_the_beast]

Hi, I just downloaded the new beta update (or I think so...version: 1483649853). I searching around the internet to try configure my x360 controller to play some non-controller enabled games. I see I should see a configuration message in the game section of big picture mode, but I don't (all I get is the usual message (that game is meant to be played with mouse and keyboard). What am I missing here?

Same issue here. Curious to know the answer. Thanks!

Before launching the game, go to "Manage Shortcut" > "Controller configuration" and either browse a Template to create a new config or modify the one that is already displayed.

You have to do that after going to Settings > Controller Configuration > and enable the controller configuration for your controller (PS4, generic, Xbox 360, Xbox One...).

Or, while controller is plugged in:

I don't have (or can't find) any of the option you're talking about :( of course the controller is connected.

• Launch big picture mode (the controller icon located in the upper right hand corner)
  
• While in big picture mode, click on the cog icon (settings) near right hand corner
  
• Locate the controller column on left side
  
• Click on controller settings and check mark xbox configuration support
  
• You must disconnect/reconnect your controller after enabling it

After exiting big picture mode, you should now have the ability to right click/edit your xbox controller settings for each game listed on your regular steam client.

don't forget to disable xbox dvr to have the button work with steam.

Doesn't seem to work here, still no option for it.

Same problem here, this did not work for me. Disconnecting/reconnecting the controller did not help, restarting the computer did not help. I am using an Xbox 360 controller on Ubuntu 18.04 with big picture mode.

Did anyone find a solution?

My 360 controller works in big picture, but no games as far as I can tell. Then my PS4 controller does not work at ALL..

Very weird. They both worked in windows, but I would like to escape windows 100% as it is gross. :O

Please try using our udev rules:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices

For some controllers Steam needs to be able to send USB output reports and set/get feature reports which requires having udev rule for the device.

Thank you Austin. I'll check that out. Where would one put those config files?

[austinp_valve]

Actually you can install the steam-devices package w/
sudo apt-get install steam-devices

Or read this tutorial on udev rules:
