Controller UI Improvements for Steam Deck / ROG Ally?

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been playing Grim Dawn on a handheld PC like the Steam Deck / ASUS ROG Ally, and while the game works with a controller, I find the experience a bit cumbersome compared to playing with mouse and keyboard.

I was wondering if there are any plans to improve the controller interface or make the UI more controller-friendly in the future. Things like inventory management, navigating menus, assigning skills, or managing items can feel a little awkward with a controller.

Maybe I’m simply missing some settings or a better controller configuration, so I’d also appreciate any tips from people who regularly play Grim Dawn on Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

Do you think the controller experience could be improved in a future update, especially for handheld PCs? I really enjoy playing Grim Dawn on a handheld, and a more streamlined controller UI would make the experience much better.

Thanks!

I agree, it’s also worth mentioning that switching through items on the ground with dpad using steam input does not work like it does with xinput.

I agree would like to see it get a little love. One thing I’d really like to see is a modifier button like LT maybe so that we can use the entire skill bar, unless that is already a thing and I don’t know how to set it up haha. It’s a pain using left and right d-pad for extra skills.
