1) Enable or Disable Steam Input

Depending upon your controller type (Xbox or DualSense), you should decide if you want to keep this setting enabled or disabled. While Xbox controllers are natively supported on Windows, DualSense controllers cannot be used without Steam Input or a third-party application like DS4.

Steam Input is a built-in feature from Steam that lets you connect your non-Xbox controllers to your PC when gaming via Steam. This is why it should be turned on. However, you do not need this feature when using an Xbox controller. To turn it on or off, follow these steps:

  • Launch Steam on your PC.
  • Click on Steam on the top left side of the app’s UI.
  • Go to the Controller settings.
  • Scroll down and locate the Steam Input option.
  • Enable Steam Input by checking the box beside the option.
  • Turn it off if it was already turned on (for Xbox controller users).

2) Install the Latest Controller Drivers

If you have outdated drivers installed for your controller, it can also lead to connectivity issues and even input lags at times when playing Super Robot Wars Y on PC. This can be simply fixed by getting the latest drivers. Xbox controllers can be updated using the Xbox Accessories app. When using a DualSense controller, you can get the latest drivers from the DualSense Firmware Updater app.
