Playing Soma with a gamepad using Steam

1
Author Content Date
So recently I messed up both my hands and haven't been able to use a mouse and keyboard properly.

I was using a laptop touchpad for awhile but playing soma is just horrible like that.

So I discovered Steam has some hidden settings that let you control your desktop Mouse & Keyboard using a gamepad (like Xbox controller). I actually like it a lot and will continue to use a gamepad for PvE even though my hands are getting better. It is a lot more laid back and relaxed grinding with a gamepad.

So I've messed with it a bit and made a config for XBox controller that works quite well for me available here:

steam://controllerconfig/413080/1576464152

^^ Just copy and paste that into the browser and steam will open. Just apply the configuration and you should be good to go. (You may also need to go into Steam "General Controller Settings" and enable your controller of choice).

I've been playing Soma with a XBox controller for 2 weeks now probably around 4-5 hours a day (sick leave lol)

Some input mappings:
Right Trigger = Left Mouse
Left Trigger = Right Mouse
Right Stick = Moves Cursor (adjust the sensitivity to suit your needs)
RMB = F2 (hp pots)
LMB = F10 (inventory)
Back = Tab
Start = Ctrl (run/walk toggle)
D-pad = Auras/Spells
X/Y = Page Up/Down (cycles Auras/Spells)
A = Return/Enter
B = Space (rebind this to whatever you want, I reccomend MP pots)

Does take a little getting used to, but it's really chill once you get the hang of it.

Even tried playing some League of Legends like this but that was a bad idea lol
