Steam controller (2026) lizard mode shortcuts
22d 15m ago by lemmings.world/u/cm0002 in steam@programming.dev
I have been on the hunt for what exact shortcut the controller hides from us. But there is a steam menu (controllers, advance, show more, at the button) that shows them!
Quickly want to change your volume? Try steam key + left joystick!
Sadly you can not change anything here, altought the menu shows you you can, nothing will be saved after you leave a menu. (I'm not a fan to put the left mouse button on the right button)
A few of them I manually found before written out, also for the people without images:
hold A + R1 + Steam
To use Puck wireless mode righthold A + L1 + Steam
Start Puck wireless mode lefthold B + R1 + Steam Start Bluetooth mode
When on (solid white)
Steam+Y Turn off quickly
Hol steam (10s) Turn off
Steam + left joystick up/down Change volume level
R4 + R5 + L4 + L5 + Steam Backpack mode (ignore buttons until this combo is used again or USB)
Steam + Right trackpad/joystick Mouse movement
Steam + X On screen keyboard
Steam + R1 Take screenshot
Steam + Menu ALT+TAB
Steam + D-pad right Enter key

To clarify, I believe the controller has to be off to switch puck or bluetooth modes.
These shortcuts are the same for any controller. Just replace "steam button" with "PS button," "Xbox button," or "Home button" for a PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controller respectively. 3rd party controllers, too, if they happen to have that button.
There's supposed to be a way to change them, but I do not know how.
