"Edit 2020: This configuration is no longer working, due to Valve disabling SCAPI in Saints Row Four, which is really a proficient thing.
[...]

The Steam Controller API support for Saints Row 4 that was added in the update that brought Steam Workshop support is notable for being one of the absolute worst implementations of SCAPI in any game, merely here I am to prove that even the worst implementation is still something that tin be worked around and made to work well.
