Steam Controller update lets you carry your custom configurations to any PC

You can now take your Steam Controller to a friend’s house, and it’ll remember how you like to play.

A Steam Beta update released this week, adding some cool extra functionality to Valve’s Steam Controller. The controller is designed as a keyboard-and-mouse alternative to use with a Steam Machine or Steam Link that’s connected to a TV — it’s part of Valve’s efforts to take PC gaming to screens where consoles traditionally dominate. The Steam Controller doesn’t feature a traditional D-pad, but you can customize it heavily depending on how you like to play different games, and that’s where things get clever.
