2) Enable/ disable Steam Input

Steam has an in-built feature called Steam Input, which lets you connect your DualShock and/or DualSense controller to your PC. This is helpful as Windows officially only supports Xbox controllers. Steam Input acts as an emulator that lets you connect your PlayStation controllers and read them as Xbox controllers. However, this essential feature can often lead to problems as well.

If you are using PlayStation controllers or any third-party controller and this option is not enabled, it can lead to connectivity issues. On the other hand, if you are using an Xbox controller, you don't need this option enabled in the first place. In this case, you must disable it to ensure your controller works properly.

• Launch the Steam application on your PC.
• Click on Steam on the top left side of the app’s UI.
• Go to the Controller settings.
• Scroll down and locate the Steam Input option.
• Enable Steam Input by checking the box beside the option.

If Steam Input is already enabled, try disabling it once and then re-enabling it.
