Steam Input API is a flexible action-based API that supports all major controller types - Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch Pro, and Steam Controllers.
See the
Steam Input documentation for more information.
Member Functions
Member functions for
ISteamInput
are called through the global accessor function
SteamInput()
.
ActivateActionSet
void ActivateActionSet( InputHandle_t inputHandle, InputActionSetHandle_t actionSetHandle );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller you want to activate an action set for. |
actionSetHandle | InputActionSetHandle_t | The handle of the action set you want to activate. |
Reconfigure the controller to use the specified action set (i.e. "Menu", "Walk", or "Drive").
This is cheap, and can be safely called repeatedly. It's often easier to repeatedly call it in your state loops, instead of trying to place it in all of your state transitions.
Example:void updateStateLoop()
{
switch( currentState )
{
case MENU:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( inputHandle1, menuSetHandle );
doMenuStuff();
break;
case WALKING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( inputHandle1, walkingSetHandle );
doWalkingStuff();
break;
case DRIVING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( inputHandle1, drivingSetHandle );
doDrivingStuff();
break;
case FIGHTING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( inputHandle1, fightingSetHandle );
doFightingStuff();
break;
}
}
Activate All Controllers
Oftentimes, you'll want to activate all the controllers at once, rather than a single device. For this you should use the constant
STEAM_INPUT_HANDLE_ALL_CONTROLLERS as your controller handle. You can likewise use this value in any other function that calls for an individual controller handle.
Example:void updateStateLoop()
{
switch( currentState )
{
case MENU:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( STEAM_INPUT_HANDLE_ALL_CONTROLLERS, menuSetHandle );
doMenuStuff();
break;
case WALKING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( STEAM_INPUT_HANDLE_ALL_CONTROLLERS, walkingSetHandle );
doWalkingStuff();
break;
case DRIVING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( STEAM_INPUT_HANDLE_ALL_CONTROLLERS, drivingSetHandle );
doDrivingStuff();
break;
case FIGHTING:
SteamInput()->ActivateActionSet( STEAM_INPUT_HANDLE_ALL_CONTROLLERS, fightingSetHandle );
doFightingStuff();
break;
}
}

See the
Action Set Layers article for full details and an in-depth practical example.
Example:SteamInput()->ActivateActionSetLayer( inputHandle1, myActionSetLayer );
DeactivateActionSetLayer
void DeactivateActionSetLayer( InputHandle_t inputHandle, InputActionSetHandle_t actionSetLayerHandle );

Name | Type | Description |
pszActionName | const char * | The string identifier of the digital action defined in the game's VDF file. |
Get the handle of the specified digital action.
NOTE: This function does not take an action set handle parameter. That means that each action in your VDF file must have a unique string identifier. In other words, if you use an action called "up" in two different action sets, this function will only ever return one of them and the other will be ignored.

nFlags | unsigned int | Bit-masked flags combined from values defined in ESteamControllerLEDFlag. |
Set the controller LED color on supported controllers.
Notes:The VSC does not support any color but white, and will interpret the RGB values as a greyscale value affecting the brightness of the Steam button LED.
The DS4 responds to full color information and uses the values to set the color & brightness of the lightbar.
Example:// Restore the user default color for controller 1:
SteamInput()->SetLEDColor( controller1Handle, 0, 0, 0, k_ESteamControllerLEDFlag_RestoreUserDefault );
// Set the color to magenta for controller 2:
SteamInput()->SetLEDColor( controller2Handle, 255, 0, 255, k_ESteamControllerLEDFlag_SetColor );

inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller you want to bring up the binding screen for. |
Invokes the Steam overlay and brings up the binding screen.
Returns: bool
true for success;
false if overlay is disabled/unavailable. If the player is using Big Picture Mode the configuration will open in the overlay. In desktop mode a popup window version of Big Picture will be created and open the configuration.
Example:SteamInput()->ShowBindingPanel( myControllerHandle );

Always returns
true.
Example:SteamInput()->Shutdown();
StopAnalogActionMomentum
void StopAnalogActionMomentum( InputHandle_t inputHandle, InputAnalogActionHandle_t eAction );
Stops the momentum of an analog action (where applicable, i.e. a touchpad w/ virtual trackball settings).
NOTE:This will also stop all associated haptics. This is useful for situations where you want to indicate to the user that the limit of an action has been reached, such as spinning a carousel or scrolling a webpage.
Example:SteamInput()->StopAnalogActionMomentum( controller1Handle, moveHandle );
TriggerHapticPulse
void TriggerHapticPulse( InputHandle_t inputHandle, ESteamControllerPad eTargetPad, unsigned short usDurationMicroSec );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. |
eTargetPad | ESteamControllerPad | Which haptic touchpad to affect. |
usDurationMicroSec | unsigned short | Duration of the pulse, in microseconds (1/1,000,000th of a second) |
Triggers a (low-level) haptic pulse on supported controllers.
Notes:Currently only the VSC supports haptic pulses.
This API call will be ignored for all other controller models.
The typical max value of an unsigned short is 65535, which means the longest haptic pulse you can trigger with this method has a duration of 0.065535 seconds (ie, less than 1/10th of a second). This function should be thought of as a low-level primitive meant to be repeatedly used in higher-level user functions to generate more sophisticated behavior.
Example://Pulse once for 1/20th of a second
SteamInput()->TriggerHapticPulse(controller1Handle, k_ESteamControllerPad_Left, 50000);
TriggerRepeatedHapticPulse
void TriggerRepeatedHapticPulse( InputHandle_t inputHandle, ESteamControllerPad eTargetPad, unsigned short usDurationMicroSec, unsigned short usOffMicroSec, unsigned short unRepeat, unsigned int nFlags );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. |
eTargetPad | ESteamControllerPad | Which haptic touchpad to affect. |
usDurationMicroSec | unsigned short | Duration of the pulse, in microseconds (1/1,000,000th of a second). |
usOffMicroSec | unsigned short | Duration of the pause between pulses, in microseconds. |
unRepeat | unsigned short | Number of times to repeat the usDurationMicroSec / usOffMicroSec duty cycle. |
nFlags | unsigned int | Currently unused and reserved for future use. |
Triggers a repeated haptic pulse on supported controllers.
Notes:Currently only the Steam Controller, Steam Deck, and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller devices support haptic pulses.
This API call will be ignored for incompatible controller models.
This is a more user-friendly function to call than TriggerHapticPulse as it can generate pulse patterns long enough to be actually noticed by the user.
Changing the usDurationMicroSec and usOffMicroSec parameters will change the "texture" of the haptic pulse.
Example://Pulse for 1 second with an on/off pulse pattern of 1/20th of a second each
SteamInput()->TriggerRepeatedHapticPulse( controller1Handle, k_ESteamControllerPad_Left, 50000, 50000, 10 );
TriggerVibration

Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. |
usLeftSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value for the left rumble motor. |
usRightSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value of the right rumble motor. |
Trigger a vibration event on supported controllers.
Notes:This API call will be ignored for incompatible controller models.
This generates the traditional "rumble" vibration effect.
The VSC will emulate traditional rumble using its haptics.
Example:SteamInput()->TriggerVibration( controller1Handle, 10000, 10000 );
TriggerVibrationExtended
void TriggerVibrationExtended( InputHandle_t inputHandle, unsigned short usLeftSpeed, unsigned short usRightSpeed );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. |
usLeftSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value for the left rumble motor. |
usRightSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value of the right rumble motor. |
usLeftTriggerSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value for the left Xbox Impulse Trigger motor. |
usRightTriggerSpeed | unsigned short | The intensity value of the right Xbox Impulse Trigger motor. |
Trigger a vibration event on supported controllers, including Xbox Impulse Trigger motor values.
Notes:On Windows support for Xbox Impulse Trigger motor values requires user installation of the Xbox Extended Feature support driver.
The Steam Controller and Steam Deck will emulate traditional rumble using their haptics.
Example:SteamInput()->TriggerVibrationExtended( controller1Handle, 10000, 10000, 10000, 10000 );
GetActionOriginFromXboxOrigin
EInputActionOrigin GetActionOriginFromXboxOrigin( InputHandle_t inputHandle, EXboxOrigin eOrigin );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. You can use GetControllerForGamepadIndex to get this handle |
eOrigin | EXboxOrigin | This is the button you want to get the image for ex: k_EXboxOrigin_A |
Returns: EInputActionOrigin
Get an action origin that you can use in your glyph look up table or passed into GetGlyphForActionOrigin or GetStringForActionOrigin
Example:int nXinputSlot = 1; // Substitute whatever the correct Xinput slot is for your player
InputHandle_t controller1Handle = GetControllerForGamepadIndex( nXinputSlot );
EInputActionOrigin buttonOrigin = SteamInput()->GetActionOriginFromXboxOrigin( controller1Handle, k_EXboxOrigin_A );
// Gets the image from the Steam client .
const char *localGlyphPath = SteamInput()->GetGlyphForActionOrigin( buttonOrigin );
printf( "path = %s\n", localGlyphPath ); // "path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\tenfoot\resource\images\library\controller\api\ps4_button_x.png"
//a function from the game that turns a file path into a usable game texture
glyphTextureID = loadButtonGlyphTextureFromLocalPath( localGlyphPath );
TranslateActionOrigin
EInputActionOrigin TranslateActionOrigin( ESteamInputType eDestinationInputType, EInputActionOrigin eSourceOrigin );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to affect. You can use GetControllerForGamepadIndex to get this handle |
eDestinationInputType | ESteamInputType | The controller type you want to translate to. Steam will pick the closest type from your SDK version if k_ESteamInputType_Unknown is used |
eSourceOrigin | EInputActionOrigin | This is the button you want to translate |
Returns: EInputActionOrigin
Get the equivalent origin for a given controller type or the closest controller type that existed in the SDK you built into your game if eDestinationInputType is k_ESteamInputType_Unknown. This action origin can be used in your glyph look up table or passed into GetGlyphForActionOrigin or GetStringForActionOrigin
Example:int nXinputSlot = 1; // Substitutes whatever the correct Xinput slot is for your player
InputHandle_t controller1Handle = GetControllerForGamepadIndex( nXinputSlot );
EInputActionOrigin buttonOrigin = SteamInput()->GetActionOriginFromXboxOrigin( controller1Handle, k_EXboxOrigin_A ); //i.e, k_EInputActionOrigin_PS4_X
if ( buttonOrigin >= k_EInputActionOrigin_Count )
{
// We didn't ship any art in our game for this origin! I guess Steam has added support for
// a new controller. Let's get the closest value that was supported by the SDK we built against
buttonOrigin = SteamInput()->TranslateActionOrigin( k_ESteamInputType_Unknown, buttonOrigin )
}
// This is a function from the game itself that tries to get custom glyph art
int glyphTextureID = getHardCodedButtonGlyphTexture( actionOrigin );
GetDeviceBindingRevision
bool GetDeviceBindingRevision( InputHandle_t inputHandle, int *pMajor, int *pMinor );
Name | Type | Description |
inputHandle | InputHandle_t | The handle of the controller to query. |
pMajor | int * | Pointer to int that Major binding revision will be populated into |
pMinor | int * | Pointer to int that Minor binding revision will be populated into |
Returns: bool - true if a device binding was successfully found and false if the binding is still loading.
Gets the major and minor device binding revisions for Steam Input API configurations. Major revisions are to be used when changing the number of action sets or otherwise reworking configurations to the degree that older configurations are no longer usable. When a user's binding disagrees with the major revision of the current official configuration Steam will forcibly update the user to the new configuration. New configurations will need to be made for every controller when updating the major revision. Minor revisions are for small changes such as adding a new optional action or updating localization in the configuration. When updating the minor revision you generally can update a single configuration and check the "Use Action Block" to apply the action block changes to the other configurations.
Example Code:int nMajorRevision = -1;
int nMinorRevision= -1;
const int nCurrentMajorRevision = 1;
const int nCurrentMinorRevision = 1;
if ( GetDeviceBindingRevision( inputHandle, &nMajorRevision , &nMinorRevision ) )
{
if ( nMinorRevision != nCurrentMinorRevision )
{
// The minor version out of date, but that's ok
// next time they edit their config this will get fixed
}
if ( nMajorRevision != nCurrentMajorRevision )
{
// This should only happen briefly while Steam detects
// and then force-updates the user to the latest official config
}
}
else
{
// The configuration isn't loaded for this controller yet
}
Example In-game Action File Usage:"In Game Actions"

Strukturer
These are structs which functions in ISteamInput may return and/or interact with.
InputAnalogActionData_t
Represents the current state of an analog action.
Notes: - The exact values, range, etc, depend on the configuration, but (broadly speaking) traditional analog actions will provide normalized float values in the ballpark of -1.0 to 1.0, whereas mouse-like actions will provide delta updates which indicate the number of "pixels" moved since the last frame. The upshot of this is that mouse-like actions will provide much larger absolute x and y values, and are relative to the last recorded input position, whereas traditional analog actions are smaller and relative to a central physical anchor point.
- While the delta provided by mouse-like actions is very similar to pixel deltas as provided by an OS, the SC deltas are floats, not ints. This means less potential quantization and loss of precision when mapping this data to a camera rotation.
- In the case of single-axis analog inputs (such as analog triggers), only the x axis will contain data; the y axis will always be zero.
Name | Type | Description |
eMode | EControllerSourceMode | The type of data coming from this action, this will match what was specified in the action set's VDF definition. |
x | float | The current state of this action on the horizontal axis. |
y | float | The current state of this action vertical axis. |
bActive | bool | Whether or not this action is currently available to be bound in the active action set. If it is not available, OR does not belong to the active action set, this will be false. |
InputDigitalActionData_t
Represents the current state of a digital action.
Name | Type | Description |
bState | bool | The current state of this action; true if the action is currently pressed, otherwise false. |
bActive | bool | Whether or not this action is currently available to be bound in the active action set. |
InputMotionData_t
Represents the current state of a device's motion sensor(s).
NOTE: For rotQuatX/rotQuatY/rotQuatZ/rotQuatW, the inertial measurement unit on the controller will create a quaternion based on fusing the gyro and the accelerometer. This value is the absolute orientation of the controller, but it will drift on the yaw axis.
Positionsacceleration rapporteras som ett interpolerat värde mellan INT16_MIN och INT16_MAX. Omfånget är begränsat till ±2 G (1 G = 9.80665 m/s
2).
Vinkelhastighet rapporteras som ett interpolerat värde mellan INT16_MIN och INT16_MAX, där omfånget är begränsat till ±200 grader per sekund.

EControllerSource
A region of the controller that can be thought of as a larger abstract modular unit that one of many modes can be applied to and output meaningful data. For example, a joystick can be treated as either a single analog input, or broken up into four discrete digital forming a virtual DPAD. Likewise, the ABXY face buttons form a natural group that be treated as four independent buttons, or as components of a virtual DPAD, etc.
Name | Value | Description |
k_EInputSource_None | 0 | No controller source. |
k_EInputSource_LeftTrackpad | 1 | The left touchpad, or the left half of a central touchpad. |
k_EInputSource_RightTrackpad | 2 | The right touchpad, or the right half of a central touchpad. |
k_EInputSource_Joystick | 3 | The joystick, or if there is more than one joystick, the left joystick. |
k_EInputSource_ABXY | 4 | The four main face buttons. |
k_EInputSource_Switch | 5 | Switches/buttons on the controller that don't belong to any other specific source. This includes bumpers, start/select, and grips. This special case of misfits don't fit into the larger paradigm and thus get their own source of digital buttons and a corresponding mode that processes them. |
k_EInputSource_LeftTrigger | 6 | The left analog trigger. |
k_EInputSource_RightTrigger | 7 | The right analog trigger. |
k_EInputSource_Gyro | 8 | The internal gyroscope. |
k_EInputSource_CenterTrackpad | 9 | The central touchpad. (DS4 only) |
k_EInputSource_RightJoystick | 10 | The right joystick. If there is only one joystick, this source is not used. |
k_EInputSource_DPad | 11 | The digital pad. |
k_EInputSource_Key | 12 | Keyboard key (for keyboards with scan codes). |
k_EInputSource_Mouse | 13 | Traditional mouse |
k_EInputSource_Count | 14 | The number of enums, useful for iterating. |
EControllerSourceMode
The virtual input mode imposed by the configurator upon a controller source. For instance, the configurator can make an analog joystick behave like a Dpad with four digital inputs; the EControllerSource would be k_EInputSource_Joystick and the EControllerSourceMode would be k_EInputSourceMode_Dpad. The mode also changes the input data received by any associated actions.
Name | Value | Description |
k_EInputSourceMode_None | 0 | No input mode. |
k_EInputSourceMode_Dpad | 1 | A digital pad -- four digital directional buttons fused together in a cross pattern, such that only one button from each axis can be pressed at any given time. |
k_EInputSourceMode_Buttons | 2 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_FourButtons | 3 | Four digital face buttons, any of which can be pressed simultaneously |
k_EInputSourceMode_AbsoluteMouse | 4 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_RelativeMouse | 5 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_JoystickMove | 6 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_JoystickMouse | 7 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_JoystickCamera | 8 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_ScrollWheel | 9 | |
k_EInputSourceMode_Trigger | 10 | |
