Quoting: slaapliedjeYou don't have to be in Big Picture Mode [...]Yeah, that's just it; I haven't been able to switch the controller to any other mode when not in Big Picture and it doesn't seem to autodetect whether it should really be in gamepad mode, so it's always stuck in mouse/keyboard mode :(
Granted, the controller was in mouse/keyboard mode, so that wouldn't have mattered for this particular game. But it's still a controller, it doesn't force you to be in big picture mode. [...]

Unfortunately, yes.

Quoting: Stupendous ManOne question: do you need to launch the games from Big Picture for the controller to work, or only for the initial setup? I have an issue with Big Picture and multiple monitors, in that I cannot configure Big Picture to run on a different monitor than the main Steam window.
Unfortunately, yes.

UPDATE: You can setup the controller for any game launched from Steam, including non-Steam games, when running in Big Picture mode; so yes, you can use it as a joystick in Tux Racer ;)

Quoting: jordicomaHow does it work for non steam games? Can it work well without steam? I mean does linux detect it as a joystick without the steam program?It will work in keyboard+mouse mode, meaning the right pad will emulate a mouse and the stick will send wasd key presses - I have not been able to have it detected as a joystick or gamepad.

Don't forget that it also has a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer so you can use like a wheel for racing games! Also, the mapping let's you set modifier/switch keys that alter the functions of the rest of the controls - like alt or shift for keyboards.
This thing has it all :D
Edit: Oh, and both analogue bumpers have an extra digital trigger when pressed fully in (you feel the click in hardware) - perfect for the boost in Distance ;)

Ooh! Shorter! Excellent! I find most games too long for me to finish before I'm swamped in other games and work again, so a shorter length sounds perfect to me.

Aw.. and here I've been updating their pages every 30 minutes since midnight; wish they'd issued that a bit earlier ;)
I much prefer getting a working release than a timely one though.

Yes - Linux is coming, but not on the initial release. We will need to test it a bit more. We will keep you posted on this :)

I can confirm that the fix works; it was awful having to stop playing for hours ;) Really liking it so far, probably more than any other game this year.

I think it really helps with the immersion. I usually dislike it in other games, but it fits very well here, in my opinion.
I can understand your point of view, but I don't like playing a game that strains my eyes, I want to be able to see what I paid for and have the experience. What I got was a good half an hour of blurred vision and it didn't look good.
