You can query the type of controller currently from Steam in order to show device specific glyphs but you are limited to the types supported by your current Steamworks SDK.

If you're interested in these features without those caveats please consider adding Steam Input API This only works in games with a single local player because there is only one mouse input and also relies on the game accepting simultaneous mouse and gamepad input.

In addition to normal gamepad input it's possible to bind Switch, PlayStation, and Steam Controller gyro inputs to mouse emulation and provide motion controls.

The controller will show up in your game as an Xbox controller which means that controllers with extra inputs will have some of them duplicated, ex: PlayStation trackpad click and the options button both mapping to XInput's Start button.

On macOS and Linux emulated controller input is provided by a driver.

On Windows the Steam Overlay will hook traditional gamepad input APIs such as XInput, DirectInput, RawInput, and and inject an emulated Xbox controller device.

Here we will focus on how to best use Steam Input Gamepad Emulation to extend your game's existing controller support. Steam Input will translates the user's input into something the game understands through either Gamepad Emulation, Mouse and Keyboard Emulation, or Steam Input API. Steam Input is a service allowing Steam users to play any controller-supported game with the device of their choice. Setup instructions for the VR arcade model
