How to Set Up Controller for Steam

Wired Connection Using a USB Cable

To use a controller with the Steam version of The First Descendant, connect the controller to your PC using the appropriate USB cable. This is the most recommended connection method as this provides a stable connection.

Connect Wirelessly Using Bluetooth

If both your PC and controller support Bluetooth, you can opt to connect wirelessly for a more convenient connection. Do note that this method may be unstable as this doesn't use a direct connection.

What to Do if Your Controller Isn’t Responding

If Using Bluetooth, Try Connecting Again

If you are using Bluetooth, try disconnecting and reconnecting your controller again. Since this is a wireless connection, there may be times when the connection is unstable.

Check If Your PC Has Bluetooth Functionality

If you cannot connect to your PC wirelessly, check whether your PC has Bluetooth functionality as many desktops do not support Bluetooth by default. If this is the case, you can purchase a wireless receiver for your PC to enable this function.

Try Charging the Controller

If the controller is not responding even though it is connected wirelessly, the controller may be out of battery. Connect it to the PC to charge then try connecting again.

If Bluetooth Doesn't Work, Try A Wired Connection

If your device has Bluetooth functionality but is not recognized or if you can't connect via Bluetooth at all, consider using a wired connection by using a USB cable. Wired connections tend to be more stable than wireless ones so this may help with connection issues.
