Some configuration tips and ideas what you can configure on the new Steam Controller through Steam Input. I found it interesting how the Stick was setup as a way of movement for mouse controlled top down games. Never thought about it to do a mouse click when the stick touches its outer ring. I recommend to watch this video, its well narrated, easy explained and shows exactly how to set it up. And more tips off course.
