# Steam Input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RetroDECK handles most of the advanced controller mapping via Steam Input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## All controls in Steam Input and RetroDECK can be changed
|
||
|
|
Everyone is free to rebind the buttons as you see fit in the any of the RetroDECK's Steam Input profiles, inside the emulators or both.
|
||
|
|
You can make your own profile to better suite your needs and combine it with input changes you make in each emulator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But always remember if you rebind the keys inside RetroDECK in both Steam Input and the Emulators there will always be a risk that an upcoming update of either Steam or RetroDECK (thus including new versions of the built in Emulators) can come with changes that breaks your profiles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also note that if you break your controller profile with your tinkering you can always revert to the Official Controller Profiles or reinstall them from the Configurator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites for Steam Input work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### RetroDECK must be added to Steam
|
||
|
|
In Steam go to the tab `Games` press `Add non Steam game to My library` and select RetroDECK to add it into your library or add it via the software `BoilR`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Device templates like Steam Deck
|
||
|
|
Devices like the Steam Deck with a built-in controller you will be able to find the profile under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Connect the external controller to find the templates for them
|
||
|
|
If you plan on using external controllers, you need to have the controller connected via either: `Cable` `Bluetooth` `Wireless` for the controller profile to show up automatically. You will find the profile under `Controller Settings` -> `Controller Layouts` -> `Templates`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### The following only applies to Linux Desktop:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**You must have enable all Steam Inputs in Steam** <br>
|
||
|
|
In Steam go to the `Settings` tab to go into the `Steam Settings`, press `Controller`, enable all Steam Inputs: `Xbox` `PlayStation` `Switch Pro` `Generic`.
