Idk what it has that a DualSense (PS5 controller) doesn’t
say what you will about sony but god DAMN that controller is good
It’s a controller with Xbox layout and DualSense features. If you look at Valve’s latest news, Xbox controllers are the most common on PC. So, I guess they want to sell these to those users maybe? Butit doesn’t have hapticfeedback, that’s a bit disappointing.
Personally, I won’t buy anything without trackpads. I want a true Steam Controller 2, the first needed an additional stick and a proper dpad.
What’s the point of an official Deck controller if it doesn’t have touchpads?
These aren’t official, just probably licensed to be able to use Steam branding.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s almost like they looked at the market research showing Steam PC gamers would buy a gazillion Steam Controller 2s or Steam Deck Controllers if they made and sold either one, or both.
And then they decided to make something that was neither one of those things. It’s totally bizarre.
Looks ugly as fuck and is missing pretty standard features but thanks for trying, I guess?
I hope this prompts other companies like 8bitdo and King Kong to make their own Steam-first gamepads
All the things mentioned at the bottom. No vibration, audio, or trackpad. I think what people would want in a new steam controller is the controls of the steam deck without the screen
Mmm… seems rather mediocre. I am personally a big fan of the 8bitdo ultimate line
Oh yea the joystick touch sensorr is nice, but the ultimates also have gyro I believe.
