2) Enable/ disable Steam Input

Steam has an in-built feature called Steam Input, which allows players to connect their DualSense, DualShock, or other third-party controllers to their PC. Steam Input detects the controllers as Xbox controllers. However, this system can very often be a roadblock for people using controllers. If this setting is not enabled, you won't be able to reap its benefits. However, if it is enabled, but you are already using Xbox controllers (which are supported on Windows by default), it can lead to a glitch that results in connectivity issues.

To fix this particular issue, follow these steps:

  • 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.


3) Update your controller

PC gamers often tend to forget about updating their controllers. This one small mistake can lead to people facing troubles while using their controllers to play video games. If you are using a DualSense controller, you can update it using the PlayStation DualSense Firmware Updater app. Similarly, those using Xbox controllers can update them using the Xbox Accessories App.
