Analog movement when emulating keyboard/mouse with Steam controller
I have a Steam Controller on the way and I'm interested in using it for games e.g. Fallout 4.
I'd prefer it if the controller would emulate the keyboard, rather than the gamepad, so that I have more options for button mappings, etc. That said, it would be nice if I could have analog movement as opposed to the digital movement provided by WASD/ESDF.
Does this functionality exist with the Steam controller, or does the controller work in a way that otherwise assuages my concern?
Best Answer
One thing that may be useful is that the Steam Controller can emulate a gamepad and a keyboard and a mouse at the same time. Some games don't support this, but for those that do you could easily configure the controller in a hybrid way.

The most obvious advantage of a mouse over a controller is that it can make aiming easier.
