I made a WASD controller configuration for the Steam Controller

Video shows most of the details if you watch the controller overlay closely.

Main thing that makes this nicer than gamepad default bindings is that you have aim & movement independently of one another. Also, much easier to manage the interface things like inventory & passives, etc.

In the future, when the 20+ year old gamepad design is updated, there will be more buttons on the back of the controller, and most likely a good way to control a cursor (like a touchpad). Once that change happens, game developers won't have to make wonky gamepad UI's.

Anyway,

I managed to fit all the bindings that I need, but there isn't a good way (using this config) to access more than the 8 regular ability bindings. If you needed to hit CTRL bindings, you'd have to stop moving and use the stick to do that. For me, that's NP.


Let me know if you have any questions about it, or any feedback is also welcome since I often overlook things.

Cheers
