When it comes to custom controllers, there’s nothing more important than how they look.
If you’ve ever tried to build a custom mouse or keyboard for your favorite game, you know how frustrating it can be to try to find a good combination of buttons and triggers.
That’s why Valve has always been the company to offer custom keyboards and controllers.
The company has done so for years, and now it has added support for gaming on the Steam platform.
The Steam Controller 2.0 update adds Steam Controller support for the first time, and that’s good news for anyone who wants to use a custom keyboard or mouse to play a game on their PC.
Here’s how to do that.
