## Disable Steam Controller Mapping Support

With recent updates to the Steam client at the time writing this (2018-12-13),
Steam has enabled Xbox Configuration Support in the Steam client by default.
What this means is that Steam will automatically map a detected Xbox 360
controller to KB+M bindings initially (Desktop Mode) before launching Steam
Big Picture Mode or launching a game. This presents a problem for DS4Windows
since the created virtual Xbox 360 controller will be mapped to KB+M actions
for desktop mode and games launched outside of the Steam client. In order to
use DS4Windows properly, you have to open Steam Big Picture Mode, navigate to
Settings > Controller> Controller Settings and uncheck **Xbox Configuration
Support** along with **PlayStation Configuration Support**.
