      Some users are reporting gyro working for some of the controllers. It’s early days anyway (I tested it and it’s all broken for me on the Vader 4 Pro).

    Great news, this was the reason I hadn’t bought an 8bitdo, the back paddles would have been useless without the ability to rebind them on steam, now I’ll probably get one at some point.

    Fuck yes, I can finally get back paddles and full Steam Input support without selling my kidney. Eat your heart and your expensive ass DualSense Edge out, Sony

    Oh this is fantastic. I can finally bind the paddle buttons with Steam.

      I mean, they’re kinda working on it. It’s just not mature enough. Still many edgecases upstream Wine has to implement.

    That’s weird, I already could bind them (8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless connected via Bluetooth). Gyro also works on the beta update.

    The only feature missing at this point is the ability to wake up my steam deck LCD with Bluetooth :P

    Edit: oh no, the update reversed the button glyphs, and if I change it to “Nintendo mode” it reverses the functionality as well lmao. Oh well, hope they change it back.

    I have the Vader 4 and there are some reports of gyro working too. It’s no replacement for my steam controller(s) due to the lack of touchpads, but it’s probably the highest quality conventional controller I’ve owned in terms of build quality, so good to see support.

    I was just talking about those paddles yesterday. This is great news!

    Hopefully they add gyro support too
