Quake - Gamepad Configuration

Play Quake using your favorite gamepad: Steam Controller, Xbox 360, Dualshock 4 or SHIELD controller.
Gamepad controls based on Quake 4. Works only on OpenGL versions. Config contains additional retro style action-set based on Sega Saturn Quake version.

Original Configuration

Config is based on Quake 4 for Xbox 360. It was not possible to copy everything, because Quake doesn't support flashlights, use or reload buttons, but current config is similar to configs from every modern quick shooter. I think it's even more convenient than playing on original keyboard+mouse config (you don't need to change anything in the options menu or pressing middle button to be able look up and down).

To KhaoticNocturne I am trying to set a controller up to play Quake on steam, went through the configuration setup saved it and loaded the game in big and regular steam loadout. Both got nothing working any idea?

To Outsider98: Late response but if you haven't figured it out yet. Launching a game through Steam's Big Picture Mode often helps. Installing DS4 also helps as well as several other similar programs. I'm pretty sure there are other ways but those are the only ways that I am familiar with. Hopefully that helps.

How do you use a PS4 controller for steam games? (First time using a controller on PC by the way)
