Steam controller (2026) lizard mode shortcuts (lemmy.world)

I have been on the hunt for what exact shortcut the controller hides from us. But there is a steam menu (controllers, advance, show more, at the button) that shows them!

Quickly want to change your volume? Try steam key + left joystick!

Sadly you can not change anything here, altought the menu shows you you can, nothing will be saved after you leave a menu. (I'm not a fan to put the left mouse button on the right button)

A few of them I manually found before written out, also for the people without images:

hold A + R1 + Steam
To use Puck wireless mode right

hold A + L1 + Steam
Start Puck wireless mode left

hold B + R1 + Steam Start Bluetooth mode

When on (solid white)

Steam+Y Turn off quickly

Hol steam (10s) Turn off

Steam + left joystick up/down Change volume level

R4 + R5 + L4 + L5 + Steam Backpack mode (ignore buttons until this combo is used again or USB)

Steam + Right trackpad/joystick Mouse movement

Steam + X On screen keyboard

Steam + R1 Take screenshot

Steam + Menu ALT+TAB

Steam + D-pad right Enter key

To clarify, I believe the controller has to be off to switch puck or bluetooth modes.

These shortcuts are the same for any controller. Just replace "steam button" with "PS button," "Xbox button," or "Home button" for a PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controller respectively. 3rd party controllers, too, if they happen to have that button.

There's supposed to be a way to change them, but I do not know how.
