How can I bind the buttons on a Logitech joystick to steam games? (lemmy.world)

I used to be able to use my joystick buttons on a lot of games but now steam won't detect them. Windows detects the buttons but steam won't. Is there any way around this?

Try going into the Steam settings and make sure that the appropriate controller is enabled for steam input. I had the same issue recently when switching from an Xbox controller to a Gulikit. Enabling Xbox input in Steam fixed it - even though the new controller is not an Xbox controller, and a real Xbox controller worked fine without enabling it.

I haven't done this in a while, but you might want to check out the community controller configs. I had a 3rd party controller with a few buttons that steam couldn't detect, but someone had uploaded a config that worked perfectly for it.

Can’t say for sure it’ll meet your needs and work with your Logi gear, but I use AntiMicroX to re-bind unrecognized controls.
