I spent literal DAYS (on and off) constructing my PERFECT steam controller configuration using sc-controller. To give you an idea of how much time I've spent, there's a desktop profile with access to an onscreen keyboard AND speech-to-text, an ADVANCED desktop profile that does window management, then profiles for m&k gaming, xbox controller gaming and then another xbox controller gaming but specifically for games that don't freak out when you use mouse and controller simultaneously. All of them are connected together on the controller itself so I never have to open the config program. Every time I switch profiles there's a unique sound that plays, and if I forget which profile I'm on I even recorded VOICE LINES to remind me. Steam Input could never hope to match the complexity of what I'm doing and I do NOT WANT IT TO TRY.

Then the controller's port started going on the fritz and I decided ♥♥♥♥ it I have to switch to wireless. So now i'm finding out that Steam GRABS my controller when it's on Bluetooth and SHAKES THE LIFE OUT OF IT. I managed to load up a completely blank steam input profile, but my gyro input is still completely borked, I occasionally get the OSK and speech to text and the voice line happening SIMULTANEOUSLY when i didn't press ANY of their three buttons, and sometimes it'll just hold down the meta key or the alt key without telling me. It is utterly unusable - but ONLY AFTER I OPEN STEAM.

please dear god let me turn this off. globally. not per game or feature by feature. globally i swear to god globally. i'm begging on my knees give me back my controller settings. they were perfect.
