Where are controller layouts stored?

I've been instructed by Valve to re-image my deck (in regards to my fans running while idling issue).

Does anyone know where custom controller layouts are stored?

I can reinstall most things, but I have a number of custom layouts that I'd like to keep without having to reconfigure them all.

  • Google says:

    /home/dec/.local/share/Steam/userdata/USER_ID/241100/remote

    • Google's result was a Reddit post, so it is best to have a copy of this information in lemmy.

      Thanks for your help!

  • You can save them to your Steam account too.

    Somewhere on the layout config screen there should be an opton to save it as a custom layout (will save it for this specific game), or as a preset (can be loaded up for any game).

  • An update for what I've found:

    The path Google/Reddit had was invalid, but there was a cache file there that helped me locate the actual directory (at least for my Steam Deck) and identify which layout goes with which game.

    The path I found was: /home/deck/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/{USER_ID}/config/
