In today’s Baldur’s Gate 3 guide we take a look at how the controller works on the PC. The good news is that it’s freakin’ amazing. Here’s my guide on how to…

    Step 1: plug in controller

    Step 2: launch game

    Step 3: change game input setting to “controller”

    Did we need a fucking video for this? Honestly?

    Has anyone tried the steam controller, steam link to tv combo?

    It has been a while that I used this at all but this could be a good game for it.

    Even if it’s a bit slower here and there due to steam link this could be a game where it does not hurt.

        I did a quick test with joystick on the right track pad. Reduced friction and trackball mode so you can push and let it turn until you stop it again. It’s playable but it’s full controller mode.

        Action and reaction is not so crucial here which is why it’s okay for me.

        Can you maybe fully disable controller mode and put only mouse and keyboard shortcuts onto the steam controller?

      I’ve got about ten hours in on a controller (DualSense) on Steam. One thing: you’ll always get Xbox controller icons if Steam Input is enabled. If you disable that in game properties, you’ll get PlayStation icons for PlayStation controllers.

      I had to do this too for the correct icons to show up for the PS in the game.

      I have an Xbox controller and I own a PS5 with a few controllers. I’ve tried both and like both. I do like the touch pad curser to help click and start the game from the lauch pad. (I hate lauch pads. They don’t work well with Big Picture Mode and 4K TVs.)
