Getting the most out of your Steam Controller: Virtual Menus
I see people ask a lot about what to use Trackpads for. These are great guides and really can help with getting the best experience out of these controls.


Virtual menus are a blessing when playing modded Stardew Valley as you quickly run out of physical buttons.
Virtual Menus are great for any PC first games imo. Being able to setup direct weapon shortcuts (instead of cycling through) or having direct shortcuts to map/journal/inventory/etc is really nice. Also things like quicksave/quick load menus.
They are CRITICAL, I can make control schemes for complex games like Cold Waters DotMod that I could never dream of doing with a normal gamepad and no virtual menus… or rather the gamepad control scheme would be too complicated to remember.
