steam-devices

Device support for Steam-related hardware

Description

Installing this package configures udev to allow logged-in local users to access various gaming-related hardware devices, such as:

 - Valve devices such as the Steam Controller and Steam Deck
 - Microsoft Xbox gamepads (Xbox 360 or newer)
 - Sony Playstation gamepads (Playstation 3 or newer)
 - Nintendo Switch gamepads
 - third-party "clone" gamepads compatible with those devices
 - virtual reality and XR peripherals such as the HTC Vive

It also allows input device emulation via /dev/uinput, which is required by some Steam features such as Steam Input and Steam Remote Play.

These udev rules represent a trade-off between functionality and security, and this package should not be installed on systems that are expected to have malicious local users. The security risks and mitigations are discussed in more detail in <file:///usr/share/doc/steam-devices/README.Debian.gz>.
