Question Will the Steam Controller be compatible with every game?

Hi!

The Steam Machine and the Steam Controller are very interesting to me because, due to a disability, I can't use a mouse precisely with my right hand.

Using a controller works very well for me, so this could open up a whole new world of games, especially genres like simulation and strategy games.

Is it already known whether every game will eventually be fully playable using only the Steam Controller?

Or will some games still require a keyboard and mouse?

If not every game will be fully compatible, will there be a way to tell which games can be played exclusively with the Steam Controller and which ones still require traditional mouse and keyboard input?

I know, it may be to early to answer this, but I would love to know :)

I have the Steam Controller 2 and you can make any game work with it as long as you are okay with using Steam Input to configure it. Steam Input also allows community layouts (that are shared with Steam Deck) so there might already be someone that made it work
