SteamVR XInput controller binding
SteamVR uses
Input
Profiles for application action binding.
For XInput gamepads, gamepad_profile.json is in:
Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\gamepad\resources\input\
... and enumerates 2 triggers + 2 joysticks + 13 buttons
SteamVR stores custom Bindings in ~\Documents\steamvr\input\
"You must bind all required bindings,
or you won't be able to save the bindings profile."
Whether those bindings are currently used is another question...
By making ~\Documents\steamvr\input\ a git repository,
bind changes can be at least audited, if not understood...
Settings can be changed from within a VR headset
by VR motion controllers' laser pointer,
but this page is about configuring without such controllers
PS3 Controller AKA DualShock 3
Steam->Settings->Controller recognizes PS3 CONTROLLER,
but Begin Test did not detect controls.
DsHidMini was
installed
as Steam XINPUT CONTROLLER #1,
then PS3 is also detected as a SteamVR GAMEPAD controller
- default button assignments match
- default home bindings work
- dashboard bindings, not so much
Aircar SteamVR bindings
Depend on game controller trigger analog axes, not switches...
| A - Menu confirm |
X - Turbo |
L stick - vert yaw |
R stick - pitch, roll |
| L trig - reverse |
R trig - thrust |
Select - menu |
Y - Music |
XInput Binding controls
At least "xbox" and "start" buttons are needed on Xbox controller..
- SteamVR must be running...
with all bindings removed, some XInput buttons are still active.
This may be a consequence of Automatic Controller Rebinding.

Rebinding "Legacy" games for new controllers
Steam Input Devices
- typically different from SteamVR controllers
- In Steam -> Settings (SteamVR must be turned off)
-> Controller, General controller settings.
Uncheck all but Xbox Configuration Support
and Xbox Extended Feature Support.
- Go to detected controllers, customize
HOTAS layout. Save.
SteamVR Input Devices
- SteamVR->Settings->Startup/Shutdown->MANAGE ADD-ONS
- Open SteamVR; a gamepad icon should appear.
If not, be sure to open SteamVR by clicking VR button in Steam.
- SteamVR->Settings->Controllers->TEST CONTROLLERS->GAMEPAD
click #/USER/HEAD, then click GAMEPAD
- Make applicable mappings from virtual gamepad in SteamVR app.
- TIPS:
- Many
binding_config.json files generated in Steam/userdata/870060982/
- If HOTAS Throttle doesn’t work or is mapped upside down,
clear the input and map it to W and S keys with a joystick profiler.
Make sure no keys are pressed while launching the game.
- Set Steam's Big Picture to not to use the gamepad.
Big Picture and SteamVR compete for Steam control,
and only one can "own" the controller.
