Steam Controller Activators

Valve has released a new update to its Steam Controller in the form of the latest Steam Beta Client Update that brings with it Steam Controller Activators, which sit between inputs, such as a button on the controller and binding outputs, such as a keypress.

Valve explains that there is no limit to the number of activators that can be placed on a single input, so a button can have a “normal press, a long press, and a double tap on a single button, each firing off different actions in a game”.

A few simple ways that activators can improve your existing configurations using Steam Controller activators include :

– You can use a Start Press activator and a Release Press activator to turn a toggle crouch into a hold crouch. Conversely, the toggle option will allow you to turn any action, such as a hold crouch, into a toggle.

– Turbo can be set on Activators, meaning any button can have customized rapid fire. This can be combined with multiple activators, so single press for single fire, while a long press will engage turbo mode.

– Use a Start Press Activator to switch to a new action set, with a Release Press on the same button to switch back to the original set. Using this technique Action Sets can act like an entire-controller mode shift. Also included in this update is the ability to copy any existing Action Set into the new set, making customization a lot faster.

– Mode Shifts now also use Activators, so a mode-shift can be toggled on and off without continuously holding a button.

– Activators can also cycle through a set of bindings. Put Stand, Crouch, and Prone on a single button and cycle through them with each press.
