Is there a way to view controller support from my Library?

Some Steam games offer full controller support, some offer only partial support, and some do not offer any support. What I want is a quick way to tell which of the games in my Library have some form of controller support. I recently got a gamepad and I'm wondering which games I should install to try it out.

The only way I've found so far is to go to each game's page and scroll all the way down to one of the panels on the right. Hardly a quick and easy process when you have a ton of games.

If I recall correctly, there is better information on this when in Big Picture mode, but only when you hover over/select a game in the list. I also don't generally use Big Picture mode as I play on my monitor.

Is there a way to quickly see which games from my entire library have some form of controller support? Some filter or setting I haven't found?

There is currently a way to filter on Controller Support in Library mode by using the Advanced Filtering dialog:

Yes there is, but it needs to be done within Steam Big Picture mode. Start Big Picture mode and then navigate through the menus as follows;

• Select 'Library'
• Select 'View all Games'
• From the drop down menu select 'Controller Supported'

This will list all games you have licenses for on your Steam account, and you can download them from this screen also.

Lorenzo's tool will allow you to filter your entire Steam library by tag, including full or partial controller support. Your Steam profile/library must be public for the tool to successfully scan your games.

3rd party service Steam Database is able to filter for

• Partial Controller Support
• Full controller support
• Native Steam Controller support

Once you give SteamDB access to your account you may view these lists.

Yes you can outside of Big Picture Mode. Answered here, StackOverFlow: How Can I Determine If Game Is Playabe With A Controller and I can confirm it still works, Skyrim offers partial support.

There does not seem to be a way to do that in Steam in normal mode. However, if your game-list is publicly visible/viewable you can use MySteamGauge to list all your games and sort them by controller support (none, partial, full and "-" ??).

No additional credentials/authentication required. I just tried a random username and it works.

I guess it's kind of comparable to which was mentioned by Castaa in his answer.
