SteamInputDB is a new site to help you find Steam Input configurations for your gamepads

SteamInputDB recently launched as a new third-party community site to help you find Steam Input configurations for various gamepads with Steam games.

It was inspired by an older site that's no longer around called SteamControllerDB, that helped you find Steam Controller configurations for various games. The developer of SteamInputDB decided to take that idea and make it much bigger - to cover lots of different gamepad controllers. No more messing around in Steam directly trying to find what you need, now you can just easily search online and it all hooks directly into the Steam API.

Since it's directly using the Steam API it pulls every community config for every game and controller that has been published. Pretty cool idea!

The project is also open source with plenty more features planned to come.

I'm not a huge controller user (only on deck) so I'm wondering: isn't this just recreating the steam community layouts feature? Why not just utilize that?
