A controller connected through Steam doesn't respond in Aniimo, even though Steam itself detects it.
Also appears as: aniimo controller not working, aniimo gamepad not working, aniimo steam input
Pawprint Studio's own pinned Steam Discussions FAQ names this directly and gives a one-step fix: Steam Input is intercepting the controller before Aniimo's own input handling gets it. Disabling Steam Input for the game hands control straight to Aniimo instead.
What to try
- 01In your Steam Library, right-click Aniimo → Manage → Properties → Controller, and switch it to "Disable Steam Input," then restart the game.Confirmed
