I’ve got about ten hours in on a controller (DualSense) on Steam. One thing: you’ll always get Xbox controller icons if Steam Input is enabled. If you disable that in game properties, you’ll get PlayStation icons for PlayStation controllers.

But there are a few things that really don’t work well for controllers atm:

• Please, please can we not have radial menus? If we must have them, don’t require the stick to be held in the direction – let the last position of the stick dictate the selection without the need to hold. As it stands, it’ll start moving the cursor in the next menu because you have to keep the stick held while making the selection. It’s annoying constantly seeing my map blip a little in the direction that the radial selection was made. Much better would be to just have some kind of square menus usable with the d-pad (like literally every other game menu).

• “Examine” for items is straight up broken in the controller interface. If the item is small, it shows up behind its descriptive text and everything is not centered with a ton of wasted space. The item can be rotated but not zoomed, because right stick vertical is for scrolling the descriptive text.

• There is no adjustment of analog sensitivity at all. Like, really? Yes, you can do it with Steam Input, but a) my controller kept disconnecting with it enabled, and b) then can’t have PS icons per first bullet point.

I had hoped that the Steam Controller might come to the rescue by allowing mouse on right pad with the controller interface. But, as far as I can tell, this is impossible because the game does not support split input. Steam Controller can be KBM with mouse on right pad, but the game will not show the controller interface (and text is smaller without it).

Overall just wish it was a bit more customizable. I hope a couple of these things improve at least after the PS5 release (e.g. the bugged examine screen).
