But what about us "only have Steam Controller" people? :(
We wanna be in the club and asked too.
I asked the other club members and we took a vote. They said if have a Steam Controller and you're still using it - you can be an associate member only. That basically limits you to two Half-Life 3 jokes a day and posting about how "my wallet hurts" or similar to 4 times a year. Otherwise - welcome to the club!
Hahah, superb answer! I will follow the rules to a T.
Asking
The two games I played when I got it happened to have the exact same hotbar wheel control, which is holding left bumper for a circular menu and using the right thumbstick to choose and then release LB. I made the left touchpad do that without having to use LB, works so well! The games in question are Runescape Dragonwilds and Dune Awakening.
I'm surprised by how much I enjoy the controller as a normal controller, just using the normal buttons that xbox controllers have, that I've been lazy about really configuring it and using the extra inputs. There's a bigger reason for that but I'm not sober enough to write that whole thing ATM, I'll add it tomorrow. Do you have one too? If so, what's your experience?
