We recommend allowing mouse events to affect the camera as they normally would without perturbing simultaneous controller functionality, and only switching to mouse/keyboard mode if a mouse click event is received. Common problems include joystick input getting locked out when mouse camera is used and vice versa, controller buttons not working when mouse camera is being used, on-screen button prompts changing between controller and keyboard/mouse icons, all of which make it more difficult for customers to play with their preferred control scheme. …

Launchers often rely on platform-specific frameworks (ie., .NET, WPF, etc.) that can turn into difficult experiences for customers on a small screen using a controller for navigation. When native UI launchers are required, you can use the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamUtils#SetGameLauncherMode]SetGameLauncherMode[/url] API to automatically translate controller input to keyboard/mouse events to assist the user. …

For best results, skip separate launchers altogether and integrate their functionality into the game client UI instead, where controller support is likely better.

If your solution currently isn't working, please reach out to both your vendor and Valve for support. [*]Anti-tamper / DRM: In general we don't recommend use of such solutions across any PC platforms, as they may impact disk usage and overall performance. …
