Controller/Keyboard Icon

[Jason Holt]

This may sound silly, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add an icon like the favorite/portable/complete type icons for a game that has controller support or that requires keyboard. That way, at a glance, or with a quick search, you can look through games that only allow a keyboard, or find ones that allow controller play. I have over 800 games and sometimes I like to sit back with my controller and I forget which ones work with a controller. Thank you for your time.

Hi Jason,

This is possible using the Controller Management system. It should be automatic when importing your games or updating your metadata for your games (if your games were imported before the system was put in place). The results can be used with Badges, which will display a little icon next to your games, telling you which games are controller supported and which type of controller it supports. You also have the ability to edit the results using the Manage Game Controllers window, located in the Tools menu. You can also Edit a game, go into Metadata > Controller Support to make manual changes on a per-game basis, or select multiple games and use the bulk edit tool.

In the current beta, we also have the ability to use the new filter button to utilize the controller metadata and live filter your games that have controller support.

I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If this is not the feature you were thinking of, please let us know.
