How to Use an Xbox Controller on Steam
Don't overthink it. Just connect your Xbox controller to your PC using a USB cable or through Bluetooth, and Steam should handle the rest. If it doesn't pop up right away, make sure you've enabled Xbox Configuration Support in Steam's controller settings.

Plug it in and you're golden! Most of the time, Steam automatically recognizes an Xbox controller when you plug it in via USB. If you're feeling wireless, just pair it with your PC through Bluetooth, then open Steam and go to Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings. Check the box for Xbox Configuration Support, and Steam will treat your Xbox controller like it's one of its own.
I've been gaming on Steam with my Xbox controller for ages. Trust me, it's a breeze. Connect it via USB or Bluetooth, and Steam does the rest. If you hit a snag, just dive into the controller settings in Steam and make sure Xbox support is enabled. Game on!
Honestly, just use a mouse and keyboard. Way better precision and you won't regret the switch.
