I love everything about Valve's Steam Controller except this one major flaw

Valve’s new Steam Controller shows strong potential, especially for desktop control, typing, and gaming with its trackpads.

But the Steam configuration software is confusing and unreliable, with remaps that fail, reset, or break unexpectedly.

Important features and shortcuts are poorly explained, and some functions only work properly when Steam runs as administrator.

Despite good hardware ideas, the software friction makes the controller hard to set up and limits its appeal for PC and living-room users.
