Big picture mode is great.
I'm glad this was mentioned here already. Big Picture mode in Steam is really something that I think might also contribute in increased popularity of controllers on PC. Back in the day it was really a struggle to get your already existing controller working on the PC (with Xbox it was easier after 360, PS needed extra stuff) but nowadays all one has to do is to pop into Big Picture mode and "it just works" given you've paired your controller with PC. This is with perspective over 15 years, I guess the support has been quite good multiple years already.
The truth is, for me at least, my wrists aren't getting any younger and the controller is easier for me to use.
I do still use M+KB for games and activities that need it, but if there's a reasonable controller option I'm going to go that route.
I love gaming with controller on single player games, aiming with guns kinda suck but otherwise it's much better experience. and driving is so neat. but yeah steam controller support plays a major role in my controller usage
Thank God, this changes everything

Edit; I attached a link to the best selling Bluetooth controller in the description.
what I find funny is is a few years ago MnK was considered the optimal setup and controller players would complain about a disadvantage, but recently I've noticed this has switched and keyboard players are complaining about controllers being advantageous.
always been a controller player but never really cared either way about which one is better. but its sure more comfortable and easier to turn my brain off
I believe many users are going controller over mnk is because these game devs are making it extremely easy to aim using controller, which does not make it a fair fight against mnk players.
