What you're saying is entirely correct: Steam Input not the same thing as maybe in-game support. Steam Input is usually better.

With Steam Input, I can customize it to do anything I want:

  • Gyro + stick aiming
  • Touchpads as buttons
  • Touchpads with nested radial menus
  • Input cycling on the same input (think like alternating using potion 1 vs. potion 2 to split cooldowns)
  • Gesture 180° turns
  • Multi-input macros

Ain't no game ever going to give you that level of control.

Steam Input has spoiled me to the point that I barely ever game on my gaming desktop. Steam Input trumps a 32" 1440p screen with higher fps and graphics settings. It's that important to me that I'd rather play on a 7" screen with 40 fps.
