They do but only on Bluetooth/Switch mode and has a very low polling rate. On my Deck it only works if I turn my controller off and on twice.

Yeah, underwhelming. But at least not Chinese.

I don’t know where they manufacture but from what I could find Hori is a Japanese company.

No vibration at all? That’s a really strange choice…

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.

It’s funny that it doesn’t have a headphone jack but it clearly has a little notch in the center where those usually go

If it sells well they may do a deluxe/pro version for $70 or $80 with a bunch of extra bells and whistles

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.

Yeah, I’m uninterested in buying any new controllers until they make a Steam Deck without the screen. I’m convinced no controller has ever been more comfortable or more versatile than the Steam Deck
