Steam input is a middleware solution by Valve that allows multiple types of controllers to be used in Team Fortress 2 and other games. TF2's Steam input implementation is allows the game to have controller agnostic glyphs when the controller is connected. Steam input also allows mouse-like input for controllers using a gyroscope and/or trackpads.

In-Game Actions and Action Sets

In-Game Action Set

  • In-Game with no HUDs present

Menus Action Set

  • The Main Menu Screen
  • The Backback Screen
  • The Server Browser

Spectator Controls Action Set

  • In Spectator Mode

In-Game During Pop-up Action Set

  • Using the Disguise Kit Menu as Spy
  • Using the PDA Menu as Engineer
  • The Class Selection Screen


Default Layouts

Team Fortress 2 only has two pre-made layouts for the Steam Controller and touchscreen for the Steam Link App on mobile phones. For other controllers, the layout for the Steam Controller will be automatically converted to the target controller.
