So weird that only 15% of Steam sessions are using controllers. I thought everyone had a controller. Most games are just better with a gamepad.
59% of controller sessions are using Xbox controllers. Not surprising, but I wonder how many of those Xbox controllers aren’t actually Xbox controllers. I use an 8BitDo Pro 2, which uses X-Input on PC. Though the majority of my gaming is done on Deck now.
Very fair. Personally, I think most games made today are designed around gamepads (with the exception of some genres, especially shooters), but even then kb/m does work fine for most games.
I think that article’s headline is incorrect. Valve’s article said that 10% of controller sessions are Steam Decks, not 10% of Steam Input sessions. Here’s Valve’s article: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/4142827237888316812

Controllers being better is your opinion, and seems like most steam players don’t agree.

What I also wonder is if it’s measured by connected devices. I leave my controller in all the time
