They need to make sharing controller presets easier. Like MASSIVELY easier.

I cannot emphasize this enough. Let users send controller profiles and attach them to forum posts, etc.

This is needed desperately because navigating presets is straight up busted. Currently it just promotes whatever has the most users, which is whoever published first.

Doesn't matter if there is an objectively brilliant control scheme for Resident Evil 5 or something, nope, you're using the first layout published by GoonerMaster69 in 2014 or whatever.

Both these factors make using the steam controller a chore. It's incredibly powerful, but setup is a fucking CHORE. I love it, but making it work well is always me tweaking for way too long, or using g the suboptimal poorly named presets at the top of the list.

The RE5 example is real. RE5 is amazing with the steam controller if you have a trigger full pull mode shift to mouse input so you can have perfect accuracy with no acceleration. But try finding this in the preset list.
