In the latest client beta, Steam will now support the Nintendo Switch’s Pro Controller, a pleasant surprise for those who game in both worlds. In the latest blog post, Valve comments about the newest accessory addition to Steam:

Greetings from the Steam Controller team. We’re pleased to announce that the latest Steam Client Beta adds support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. We think it is a great device with a feature set that pairs nicely with your Steam catalog. The d-pad is ideal for fighting games and platformers and the gyro enhances aim in your action/FPS titles. If you’d like to test it out you will need to opt into the Steam Client Beta then follow the steps below. We hope you enjoy and, as always, we welcome your feedback.

Any issues on the controller’s functionality would be addressed and fully supported by Steam themselves instead of relying on third-party programmers. While the controller may not have the ideal trigger buttons, the d-pad and  the gyro enhances will be great for a vast amount of games in Steam’s library.

Players will need to sign up for the Steam Client Beta. Next, enable the support for the “Switch Pro Controller Configuration.” Once connect, you’ll need to register your accessory to your Steam account. You can adjust the controller’s functionality. For specific, step-by-step instructions, we recommend you check out the official Steam community page. Happy playing!
