Using a Steam Controller with Reason 8

[matt2k]

For anyone who is interested, I created a Steam Controller layout for Reason. I've been using this layout for a few hours. It's surprisingly effective, and comfortable. It replaces my keyboard, and mouse. The only thing it can't really do is type.

Try it out if you have a Steam Controller. Lemme know what you think.

Howto:
Add a non-steam game to steam, and choose Reason.
Switch to Big Screen Mode.
Locate Reason, then manage your "game."
Configure your controller,then choose my layout posted in the community section.
Load Reason through Steam!

You only need to use Big Screen to choose or modify the controller layout. As long as Steam is open in the background, your layout should be active.

Here's the breakdown of the Layout:
