How to Calibrate Steam Deck Triggers

Introdução

Use this guide to calibrate your Steam Deck's triggers from within SteamOS.

Valve recommends performing this software calibration after installing new triggers.

NOTE: Both Steam Deck thumbstick and trigger calibrations may not function in SteamOS version 3.3.

    • If you're not already in desktop mode, navigate to the Steam Menu → Power, and select Switch to Desktop.

    • If you don't have a keyboard plugged into your Steam Deck, you'll need to use the on-screen keyboard.

    • Press the Steam Button + X to enable the on-screen keyboard.

    • Trigger calibration is done within a terminal window using SteamOS's console, named Konsole.

    • From the Search menu, search for and open Konsole.

    • If you need to, move the Konsole window so your on-screen keyboard doesn't obscure it.

    I just tried this and get "command not found". Is it possible they have changed access since any updates? Desperately wanting to fix this and don't feel taking SD apart is issue. It feels like a calibration problem.

    • The software will first calibrate the triggers' non-depressed resting position.

    • Ensure that neither trigger is depressed. Press Enter.

    • The software will now calibrate the triggers' fully-depressed position.

    • Tap on a blank desktop area to move the cursor off of the Konsole window. Make sure Konsole isn't in focus.

    • Gently press down each trigger until they bottom out.

    • Don't apply too much force or the triggers could be incorrectly calibrated.

    • Tap on the Konsole window to bring focus back to it. Press Enter.

    • That's it! Your triggers are now calibrated. The terminal should say "Trigger calibration successful."

Do you need to enable developer mode or download anything to get this working? All I get is 'command not found' when I try to run trigger_cal_v1_1.

Same, hoping this gets looked at and resolved.

Philip Kellett - Responder

all i get is :permission denied" anytime i try this, please update the guide

Garrett Hart - Responder

trigger_cal is located in /usr/bin/trigger_cal but is not executable. Here's what I did:
cp /usr/bin/trigger_cal ~/

chmod u+x

./trigger_cal

Ben Jackel - Responder

This is an incomplete guide when it doesn't explain the permission error when executing trigger_cal

I just wanted to say thank you for this! I received a Steam Deck today and the right trigger was registering as if it were being pressed all the way down when it wasn't being touched at all. I was going to look into opening the Steam Deck and taking a look but the Konsole command Trigger_cal saved the day! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Few days ago I dropped my deck and the Left trigger broke. I glued with crazy glue and everything was "working fine" except for Marvel's Spiderman which didn't detect when I press L2 button.

Finally got the issue solved with this guide, calibration was missing... So definitely after modifying triggers, recalibrate them.

Thanks a lot for this, however when I want to do the same recalibration with my left bumper button, it doesn't work. I use the command 'bumper_cal' and I find it's wrong. So I truly want to know what is the correct command with bumper calibration?

Worked for me right away, no permission error, no developer mode had to be toggled on. In the device input test the right trigger wouldn't pull completely (32767 as the value) and it meant that left click in desktop mode was tricky to do (overpressing etc) but after this calibration it pulls properly! so happy :)

R2 Malfunctioning after steam deck turn on animation customization!?

This solved my problem!!!

Hey!!! I want to post this here for search engine reasons!!!

Recently, I downloaded a while bunch of cool new steam deck power on animations.

After downloading and seeing shuffle to on, my R2 button, uncalibrated, it's the only way to say it, I guess malfunctioned would work too.

Anyways, I saw this as I was looking into opening a steam support ticket, or just buying a replacement, as I had heard valve made them available.

Saw this recalibration thingy for after replacement, and, as my dilemma seemed to be a software issue, I tried it out, and it fixed my problem! I have my R2 functionality back!

Thank you for sharing this helpful info ifixit!
