Valve assumes that, if you want to use a controller, you’ll use the TV-style full-screen interface. Step One: Launch Big Picture ModeĬontroller configuration settings are only available in Big Picture Mode. With that in mind, here’s how to remap the buttons on your gamepad through Steam. You can still use different mappings for each game, you just can’t use different mappings for different controllers. So, when you adjust the button remapping settings for one Xinput controller, you’re adjusting them for all Xinput controllers on the system. But, if you’re playing a multiplayer game with multiple people on the same PC, every player can’t have their own button settings unless you’re using Steam or PlayStation 4 controllers.Īll Xinput controllers-including Xbox controllers-will share the same button mapping settings because they don’t provide a way to uniquely identify different controllers to Steam. This isn’t true for Xbox 360, Xbox One controllers and other generic controllers-you have to give all those controllers the same mapping on any given PC.

However, Steam Controllers and DualShock 4 controllers have one distinct advantage: if you use multiple Steam controllers or DualShock 4 controllers on the same PC, you can give them different button mappings. This feature works similarly for all supported controller types. The Limitations of Xbox and Generic Controllers
