What game controllers work with Steam?
Just use an Xbox controller. It works perfectly and you don't have to mess around with settings. Steam practically rolls out the red carpet for it.

I've personally been using a PS5 controller for my Steam games and it's been smooth sailing. Feels good, and the games recognize it no problem. Plus, the haptic feedback on some games? Chef's kiss.
Pretty much most game controllers work with Steam, honestly. The platform is super flexible. Obviously, Steam's own Steam Controller is a given, but you're not just stuck with that. Xbox controllers (both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S) plug and play like a charm, and if you're more into PlayStation, PS4 and PS5 controllers are good to go too. Even Switch Pro controllers join the party without fuss. If you're into more niche controllers or have a favorite from a third-party manufacturer, chances are it'll work with Steam as well after some custom configuration in Big Picture Mode.
Switch Pro Controller. Trust me, it's underrated but works like a charm on Steam. Plus, you get to feel a bit unique in a sea of Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
