My steam controller will act as a keyboard and mouse. I wonder if theres just a cheaper, more available controller out there that does whatever it is the steam controller is doing. It seems to work regardless of the DE, shit even the OS as it does it on my Linux computer and my work windows computer. If there is something like that it might be the way to go.
Don't you love that Valve named their new controller also just "Steam Controller", so now I have no idea if you are talking about the new one or the original one or both?
That's a function of the Steam client, not the controller itself. I doubt you'd want to have that running on an Orange Pi.
Its actually a fallback built into the controller, I am having trouble locating another like that.
