Comment on Steam announces game recording beta.

  Steaminput is a massive deal, it supports gyro, remapping, profiles, and extensive customization. XInput can’t compare and the epic games store relies on developers for everything. That’s the reason why I will always pick a Steam Controller over an Xbox controller.

    Now if they would only release a Steam Controller 2…

      I wish, the first one still stands as the best controller imo but it still has so much that can be improved (USB C, dual thumbsticks and trackpads, two back paddles, improved haptics, better gyro, better ergonomics, etc).

        I want them to launch a Deck v2, Controller v2, and a new take on the Steam Machine simultaneously with a goal of knocking Xbox out of the market and replacing them as the third console. A new Steam Machine right now would play all of Xbox’s exclusives on day one and some of Sony’s.

    XInput can’t compare

    XInput is X11 API and SteamInput can be used through SDL or directly.

      Xinput is the Xbox/Windows game input API

        I guessed about Xbox, but this is real too

      I meant Microsoft’s Xbox input method, absolutely nothing against x.org
