Problem with Arcade Stick's with PCB Zero Delay and Brook
With this latest update, where they added support for PS3 controls, the Sticks with PCB Zero Delay now identify them as if they were a PS3 control showing the buttons of the same control, previously they were detected as a generic command and the Xbox buttons were shown (ABXY).

Steam should have support for Sticks with PCB Zero Delay and Brook and show the Xbox buttons (A B X Y).

Now I lost the configuration of the buttons in the control profile in Steam and I will have to reorganize the wiring of the Stick as PS3, which I should not.

I have this issue as well!! The normal client is now also affected
Could someone help us?
I have tried resetting every setting and also deleting every controller related line from the config.vdf file

I'm going to make it possible to override your controller type in the Big Picture "Define Layout" screen. No exact ETA, but it should be ready to go soon-ish.

Ok, waiting for the fix
Thanks for paying attention to our issue!

This change is in beta

THANK YOU!
The update just came on announcements (I was already on the beta)
For everyone with the issue: if you fussed with more advanced stuff like I did, you'll have to reset this, delete edited files, etc, you know what I mean. It took me an hour to figured it out (some games were even crashing after pressing a button on the controller), but everything worked.
If you didnt mess with steam, just untick all boxes on controller config, reset controller settings, unplug your controller, plug it again, tick generic gamepad support (some games will need it, some won't), define layout, adjust your settings, then click save (or press Y/triangle/tertiary action). You'll see the option for changing controller type. Afterwards, steam will reset the controller (you'll see it vanish then return as an identified controller), and it'll work.

@austinp, Is this option implemented for controllers that are already detected as a "known" controller type, e.g. a PS4 DualShock 4 masquerading as an Xinput / 360 controller, via software like DS4Windows? Because my beta client has no such option under "Define Layout." I realize this was meant for fightsticks and other bespoke controller types, but it would be nice to see it enabled for "regular" console gamepads as well.

I often use Steam Input to activate my DualShock controller's gyroscope for aim assist on left trigger pull, but some games which behave erratically using Steam's solution can be pacified by configuring DS4Windows to do the same at a lower level. It would certainly be nice to choose the correct button prompts in compatible Steam Input games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Hi rooshoes

The option isn't shown when you click define layout
you need to click "save" after configuring your buttons and then you'll see it
try to follow the steps in my last post, it worked for me

team detects my arcade stick as a PS4 controller and shows me the PS buttons (Square, triangle..etc), I want it to be detected as an XBOX control and the buttons are displayed (A, B, X, Y)
kinder0v0 Oct 24, 2018 @ 9:42pm 
dude, the issue has been solved, check the latest update, @austinp's post and my post after his
