to do this, open steam and press "games" in the top left, then press "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library." add the game from the list or navigate to the folder by pressing "Browse." then from there just launch big picture mode and configure the controlls as normal. You can configure Non-Steam games to use the GPD's inbuilt 360 controller using exactly the same method above, you simply have to add the game to your steam library. You can change your congiguration on the fly by pressing shift+tab in game and pressing "controller configuration." the game must have been launched by big picture mode to do this. It is very customisable, take some time to configure the game so it plays as you would expect, hey even upload the config so that others may use it too. to do this press x and it will show you some community made configurations. then hit "Controller Configuration." (you MUST have the GPD's inbuilt 360 controller turned on or this option will not appear.) for most games you should then be able to pick from many already made templates that you can then customise to your liking. head to your library, select a game and then press "Manage Game" from the menu on the left. go to settings in the top right by navigating to the cog icon, and go to "Controller Settings." here you need to turn on "Xbox Configuration Support." once this is turned on you can back out and choose a game to configure. then click "big picture mode." at this point you will want to turn on the inbuilt 360 controller you will then be able to navigate the menus with it. Using "big picture mode" we can map the GPD'S inbuilt 360 controller to actual keyboard and mouse inputs, effectively adding controller support.įirst, you will need to launch big picture mode, open steam and click " View" on the top left. By default, tapping the right side of the touchpad will toggle HUD on and off.Many older steam games that run great on the GPD win have no native controller support, meaning you would have to play on the GPD's cramped keyboard, lucky steam has a solution for us. The touchpad can also be used to move the map cursor around although it can be a bit finnicky.ĭuring regular gameplay, swiping up or down on the left side of the touchpad will adjust the zoom level of the camera in increments, and touching the right side will open a radial menu with HUD toggle, screenshot, and chat buttons. Square opens the keyboard to name markers, and X will enter the marker name. R1 places markers and the cursor can be used to change the marker type, L1 removes markers. The map functions as usual (Back triggers control zoom, left stick moves around map) however the right stick is now treated as a mouse cursor when moved. Touchpad specific features should also work with the Dualshock4 though I have not tested them. I configured this with the Dualsense in mind (as its what I use), however the map features should work with any compatible controller.

I made this Steam config as a quality of life improvement for any of my fellow controller players out there so you don't have to constantly switch between controller/kb+m. I've been loving the hell out of this game and have put in just around 120 hours in the past few weeks, however controller use has proved bothersome when using the map, trying to take screenshots, and adjusting the zoom level of the camera.
