>>108702988I'm not watching an hour long review about a gamepad. give me the one word verdict you faggot haired nonce
I'm not paying 100 € for a fucking controller
i don't like the steam software dependence that he mentions in the interview. i don't want to run steam, it's chromium embedded and steals gigabytes of RAM. not buying it, hopefully 8bitdo or some other chinese makes something like this with a trackpad

Finally, a product where Steve's autism and TDS works in the favor of the viewer.
>>108703204If it's not available outside Steam or other chromium storefronts and I want to play it, it's getting pirated.
>>108703235just add the game to steam as a shortcut.
>>108703116So it just needs steam as a software middleware but not an online connection? >>108703111 At least with DS4, it still needed input mapping software to emulate an Xbox controller, as Windows natively supports XInput, not DirectInput. I'd imagine someone making a hack to emulate said middleware so it wont need steam if that were the case. But if it needs some online check then that might be less straightforward.
>>108703036haha why the fuck do people simp for valve
>>108703036moron
>>108703191>awkFYI, coreutils has numfmt.
>>108703016>>108703111It’s a worthless controller that no one will buy. Touchpad offers nothing when mouse controllers are better suited. The feeling is weird, cheap plastic and obviously Proprietary software required to do custom keymap. Not worth the $100.
the reviews don't seem all that good, and they are saying the price is not worth it unless you don't care what the price is
HOLY FUCK IS THAT HOW SMALL LINUS TECH TIPS HANDS ARE THE FUCK
>>108702988I wonder if it can be used for Blender? It looks like it would be amazing and comfy to use that for scene navigation and editing.

>>108703109based tech jesus autism
>>108702988>we will post the teardown later todayToday is over as of 27 minutes ago
>>108703420I'm gonna buy it.
>>108704138>>108704063>actually pretending to care about the most trivial memory usage possibleThe last time something like Steam being on was an actual problem, was when cyrix was still a cpu manufacturer and 64MB of RAM was a decent upgrade.
Why is vendor lock in suddenly ok when valve does it?
>>108705076Half a gigabyte for a game launcher is absurd
>>108703043Yes but what if you REALLY need help? Better throw 10 more just in case.
>>108705076>>The last time something like Steam being on was an actual problemwhen it switched to chromium garbage
>>108703036This. I'll keep my Vader 4 Pro for a bit longer I guess.
>>108703719Because it's literally malware? Would you keep Firefox running in the background even when you're not using it? There truly is no worse cult than Steam/Valvefaggotry.
>>108705266What's the difference between Vader and Apex gamepads by Flydigi? Not sure which one to choose.
imagine if microsoft made all their controllers only work if xbox game bar was installed and on lmao the riots and seething it would cause
>>108703105Wait for real? Imagine paying 100$ for that.
>>108703505That's still 467.4 MiB of wasted ram.
>>108705076300MB isn’t trivial that’s half as much as my OS
>>108705298No. Its not true. These are early review shit but even documentation from Linux kernel module development has shown that the Steam Controller 's entries will be built in as SDL(3 I think?) support and will likely be native supported at least in Linux even without Steam running. Other OSes may need to just make sur theyhave a driver package implemented
>>108705280Apex costs twice as muchVader has two more face buttons, and usually copies whatever features were liked on the same gen Apex
>>108704954get real
>>108705076I don't care about memory usage, why would you constantly feed your telemetry data to valve when you don't have to?
>>108703105>The steam controller requires steamMy God... What man hath doth birthed unto thine world
>>108704742>>108705043>>108705298>>108705352No one can buy it or own it. Remember Valve’s memo, you own nothing. Now you will not own the Steam Controller without permission from Valve to launch through Steam Client.
>Windows can only use it when Steam is running>Linux can use it anytime, anywhereThe world's first controller for Linux.In the world of gaming, Windows is now a second-class citizen, mogged by first-class Linux.
>>108705684Umm, that already exists
>>108703111It was designed for the Steam Cube which, surprise!, runs Steam OS. In that scenario Steam is always available. Just like Xinput is always available on Windows.
>>108703464Him only being able to please a chink was a big enough sign.
>>108706125why because everyone has giant holes????
>>108703036>>108703077>>108703081>>108703099>>108703276>>108704214>>108705266It's not true, specifically the on screen keyboard support from the controller on the lockscreen needs steam running still
>>108705187So since 2010?Before that Steam used Internet Explorer, all Source 1 games except GMOD still use IE for MOTD.
>>108703016>hairedhairlets seething but yeah i wouldnt watch something about as long as lotr
>>108705684that's sweetI'll try importing one if it's possible.
>>108702988Why is a political commentator reviewing gaming hardware? I don't understand. Can he please make another video about how Peter Thiel sucked toddler cocks with Jeffrey Epstein on his island and how Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are somehow connected to that? That's what I subbed to GN for, not for these children toys.
>>108705684That's because Valve knows Windows users are CATTLE.You don't deserve bloatless operation, you have pledged your soul to the bloat OS.
>>108707276>Valve knows Steam users are CATTLE.
>>108707319You can use it just fine without steam on linux
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJB7LTs5_sthe LTT review is funny they obviously don't like it but are too scared to say anything negative because of the valve fanboys. >my fingers would land directly on the screws on the back which feels awful BUT maybe thats actually deliberate to remind you of its repairabilitynigga come on
>>108707371
Linus is right. Who would buy this shit when you can get multiple great alternatives for the same price
>>108703028Isn't that normal prize for a controller? Dual sense is like 70€ and dual sense edge is 200€Seeing how steam controller is better version of dual sense edge it looks like phenomenal deal.
>>108707397great if you're an octopus
>>108703256DS4-5 are natively supported by some games, technically. No game dev will add native support for the steamcon because Steam itself is already supposed to be its native support.But yeah there will probably be a workaround.
>>108707397My use case for this will be lying in bed with the steam frame while jacking off to anime tiddies/playing games like custom 3d maid 2Navigation might be easier with the steam controller's trackpad
>>108703256What's stopping it from mapping to a HID standard?
>>108703029>>108703036>>108703105>cant use it unless Steam is running>steam software dependence>Proprietary software required to do custom keymapWINDOWS ISSUE LMAO. The Steam Controller works natively through SDL (the userspace controller driver on Linux); all the people complaining are buying hardware on an unsupported OS and then having a hissyfit.How does it feel now, Wincucks? For years you've said that "Linux doesn't work with X hardware" (even though it does), and now Hindus 11 itself is being left behind by manufacturers.
>>108707451No one's buying it anyway, and chinks will release a clone within a year.
>>108707408Or have friends.
>>108707451Half-Life 3 will be Linux-exclusive btw.
>>108707451>Hindus 11 itself is being left behind by manufacturers.I'm glad to be alive when this happened.
>>108707451fuck wangblows lol
>>108707451Can't wait for (You) to spam the board with threads about it for the next two weeks. Also don't forget to cross-post your drivel on /v/.
>>108707465>chinks will release a clone within a year.With six axis support?All of them have to suck either Sony or Nintendo toes to get that function.
>>108707491Multiple people travelling to your house, going in front of your pc to play a split screen game in 2026. Good one. Your wife will prepare sandwiches for your guests upon hearing the news, I bet.
>>108707684Not everyone lives in Ohio
>>108707397I don't see trackpads on those shitty alternatives
>>108707451>Hindus 11kek, I'm stealing that.
>>108702988i hate RedditNexus so much now it's unreal
>>108702988Controllers peaked here
>>108707807>NOOO THEY SAID MY PRESIDENT WAS CORRUPTARINO NOOOOO!
I kind of feared the Steam dependency but not surprised.>>108703204Eh, not necessarily.>>108703238I shouldn't have to do this to use a controller of all things.
>>108707831I only watch LTT, because Linus goes hard against those big evil corporations.Did you know that AMD blacklisted LTT and didn't send them their most recent CPU for review?That's because AMD hates it so much how hard, fair and uncompromising Linux is. No other explanation possible.
>>108707858>Did you know that AMD blacklisted LTT and didn't send them their most recent CPU for review?they didn't send anyone a cpu sample
>>108707869Shut up, heathen!If tech Jesus says that not-getting-free-gifts means that you are blacklisted, so is it!Who are you to question the words of g_d!?!?!
>>108707397I was considering getting an 8bitdo controller just to have for casual games in the living room. As others pointed out it has >worse joysticks>fewer buttons>no track pads>no 6-axis sensorsCrazy that was his and the other dudes conclusion without acknowledging the head and shoulders better tech... as a tech reviewer.
>>108703028it will be at least 125% of USA's price in euroland
>>108708106The d-pad on those sucks anyway.
>>108708142taxes and shippingit's actually pretty reasonable
>>108708106Oh fuck I forgot the steam controller has 30 hours of continuous use, all the other controllers top out at like 15?Like I'm just baffled how LTT gets it so wrong so often then will double down or shadow ban you if you point out their stupidity. Feels like they forget not everyone is a technerd that autistically likes worse products sometimes because of that 1 obscure feature nobody uses.
>>108707397But dood...THE TRACKPADS DOOD!!!!>uses them for 1 hour and never uses them again because KBM is better for any game requiring a mouse anyways
>>108707400Steam controller requires Steam stupid. This means no emulator support, no Linux support and no Mac support without Steam required. Awful.
>controller needs utility to make remaps possible>this is a problemI guess everyone wants controllers to be Xinput only or some shit.Seems like everyone is ignoring that every other mouse has had this bullshitNot even convinced the arguments are in good faith and is just an extension of "valve bad"
>>108708375there's no mouse that says you can't left click if you don't install our software
>>108708415that's not equivalent though, the steam controller acts as a kb/m without steam launched
>>108708415If that's all you wanted there are billions of mice that do that if you don't want advanced features.IDK how anyone can be mad the steam controller does what it does as if it's the only controller that will ever exist.
>>108708375>I guess everyone wants controllers to be Xinput only or some shit.they wont every pad to have a legacy switch on the back that neuters it and adds cost/complexity
>>108707397Is 8bitdo the one that you have manually set to dinput everytime you turn it on because the firmware doesn't remember it?
>>108707858Didn't Gamer Nexus just get blacklisted by AMD a week ago?
>>108707451Theoretically it's also supported on Windows with SDL, but most developers don't use SDL, because why would you use a library that abstracts hardware and interfaces of wide range of OSes in a simple way, when you can reinvent the bicycle for the thousandth time shitting yourself along the way and producing subpar products?
>>108708474What advanced features. Without steam input the trackpads work but the buttons don't. What other joypads disable the buttons if you don't install their proprietary software? If anything it's backwards since the advanced features work but the basic functionality does not.
>>108708637DS4Windows is needed for shit like goypass and that seems to get a pass from winjeets
>/g/ complaining about peripheral having Windows issuesLOLLMAO evenWhen did /g/ become gay for SatyaOS?
>>108708637>What other joypads disable the buttons if you don't install their proprietary software?Damn near every dinput controller.Everyone has been spoiled with controllers pretending to be an Xbox controller and suddenly people are mad that a controller doesn't do that when xinput would never support some of the things the steam controller has.What brain rot am I witnessing where people are mad they have been plainly given a reason not to buy something? What's the point of buying something like a steam controller if you just want it neutered to Xbox standards anyway?
>>108708671Windows issues? Every gamepad in the past decade worked cross platform across Android and iOS. Where's your Steam malware always running in the background for those platforms?
>>108708556they probably did because they've been palmed off to a low level PR firm, but they sort of jumped the gun in stating it because AMD didn't sample them the 9950X3D 2 but AMD also didn't sample most outlets which is a weird move in itself.
>>108702988Why isn't a review or interview from Adam Savage's Tested? Norman has done the best Steam hardware coverage for a long time so it's unusual that they've been left out from this Steam Controller launch.
Any reviews by normal men? Feels like everyone complaining has twink hands.
>>108703029i genuinely do wish they spent some time making steam itself better desu, even on a good computer it's so slow and it just feel bloated to use. sure, all apps are like that nowadays, but that doesn't mean yours have to be the same
>>108708758well the steam controller needs steam so things like A B X Y work and that's a feature so install steam
>>108703029>hopefully 8bitdo or some other chinese makes something like this with a trackpadwhy would they when nobody cares about trackpads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVRfie61QyE>repairability is... le badt. /g/
>>108707592We'll be expecting your usual seethe.
>>108705401So why would anyone buy Apex then? Is it better in some way?
>>108708758Funny you mention Android seeing as it uses SDL and will support the Steam Controller just fine. Not everyone has to use Microsoft's proprietary drivers, and if Windows users want to complain about being forced to use a different proprietary userspace driver to play with the Steam controller, maybe they should just switch to Linux where SDL will handle it system-wide.
>>108705076news tell chinese are on x86 with via licence just not named cyrix anymore
>>108703029they wrote apple magicpad is good, hows sales been
>>108709306>and will support the Steam Controller just finelolno. Valve really needs to pay their shills better
I'll buy it on ebay for 1/2 the price these things are drop in value quick
>>108709423OH NO NO NO LINCUX HOW DO WE GOYCOPE NOW
>>108709423>Gamers Nexus is too retarded to into Linuxmany such cases
>>108709423this is on windows you mongoloid
>>108709423But your screenshot is talking about Windows?Why would you use that legacy OS?
Years ago it would have been a toss up on which tech-related community is the worst between Applefags, Linuxfags, and Valvefags, but now that the Linuxfags have absorbed the Valvefags and Applefags have fucked off since they never really cared about fucking around with hacky crap, the ValveLinuxfaggot convention is by far the most insufferable online community, on the level of tankies on Bluesky/Reddit. The worst part of this isn't even that Valve needs to pay shills, it's that their rabid fanbase wants to suck Gaben's cock so much that most would PAY Valve to be their shills.
>>108709487The only people who are insufferable are those who rage against what is purely an optional product.Anons here are acting like they are bring forced to use Steam software and hardware at gunpoint
>>108709487The "Linuxfags" aren't at fault for you being unable to read and understand a basic comment, anon.Windows is clearly a second-rate platform here that isn't the primary target. Don't be an insufferable faggot by whining about it. Not everybody has to support your toddler OS.
>>108709544>here that isn't the primary targeIt works fine in windows thoThe controller is targeting steam users and anyone who is a steam user the controller will work fine.
>>108705277>malwareretard>>108705529>muh telemetryoh no a game company knows when you launch a game and has an online status indicator for your frie-oh, right
>>108709772You ValveLinuxfaggots would consider basically any other software malware if it had to run in the background just to use a peripheral, especially when it's primarily collecting info about your gaming habits in the background to sell you more shit. You manchildren are by far the most hyprocritical brandwhores on the entire internet. I am so glad I have outgrown the insufferable /v/edditor phase that most of the this site will never grow out of.
>>108710053>this strawman I concocted would act in the way I define so it's ok for me to be a lying faggot
>>108710053or yknow just use the native kernel driver and an open source userland driveroh wait Windowsfags can't do that lol
>>108709423Which part of that screenshot talks about Android? Or Linux at all?
>>108710053Why should I care about Windows users being forced to use malware? They already signed up for that by using Windows. If they'd rather use SDL, they can switch to Linux.
>>108709006So that when some tard says "well I need a trackpad for emulating DOS games" or whatever there would be a $50 alternative with a proper Xinput driver.
>>108708450No it doesn’t act like a keyboard or mouse. That’s the problem, you can not use Steam Controller for anything without the Steam Client installed. That’s why we are mad. That’s the same dumb logic Razor does with their products, we do not need that kind of stupid software.
>>108710053>>108710163SDL can be used on windows so IDK where this shit flinging comes from.Also who the hell will actually buy the steam controller to not use Steam.If you don't like Steam that much why are you buying Valve hardware?
>>108710734>so IDK where this shit flinging comes from.india, duh
>>108710708>No it doesn’t act like a keyboard or mouseIt does. That's the lizard mode, same as 1st controller.
>>108709278Paying more to beta test, liking one of the gimmicks that didn't make it to the Vader, or just being duped by the price tag and assuming more expensive = better.Compared to the Vader 5, Apex 5 has a touch screen for onboard config and something similar to the Dualsense's adaptive triggers. Paddles instead of back buttons were also new, but Vader 5 copied those.
>>108710754It’s not the first controller, that one was stolen from Corsair. No one claims it can bring up Keyboard and Mouse without Steam. Gamer Nexus had a guy tried to login and install Operating System because of that rumor. It’s not the same.
>>108704111No. When Steam isn't running it just emulates a mouse, so you can go and click on Steam.
>>108703099it has lizard mode. you can't use it as a game controller though.
>>108703476probably. steaminput gets really fucking in depth.
>>108708259you can run emulators while steam is running. linux has kernel drivers. basic windows drivers will come out too.
>>108707432it does. a mouse.
>>108707598almost every controller these days has gyro, anonhoripad for steam is one example of a pc controller with gyro
>>108710843you're incorrect, anon. find better reviewers.
>>108710176>xinput but also trackpadwhat
>>108710903I have two controllers with gyro and I still have no idea how to use it or what exactly it does.
>>108711420You can use the whole controller as a right stick or mouse to control the camera. You can also use the right stick as a camera at the same time, so you have a high and low sensitivity option for camera control. Same idea with a touch pad but a little better because you can emulate a mouse or trackball.
my controller has no lag. I say steam controller will be a real alternative to using a mouse/keyboard if you want to sit on the sofa and just browse the net, but thats about it, otherwise its keyboard and mouse if you can get away with it.
>>108711862>$1200 vs $100>14000mah vs 2000...Get out of here dude.
>>108707371>nigga come onIt's been well known ltt are shills and pretty obvious at it, plus, they're probably worse at reviewing shit than almost anyone else.
>>108703056Well that's not that impressive. What about a normal ungaped anus?
>>108707817I don't get why for normal fags they can do "damn he's caked up doe" and have tons of man ass, but if its a woman's ass it's suddenly gooner. For some it's probably just gay good straight bad, but ironically for normal fags its because they don't think gay sex is real in their monkey brains so it's not lewd to them.
>>108710053You're getting upset by a very small subsection of people who predominantly post here. Also, Windows gamers have fully accepted that they'll install literally any malware if it'd bundled with a game. Truly egregious levels of access. Linux doesn't have this problem and hopefully never will, but you never know. If Linux gets too big then suddenly normgroidcattle start being the majority userbase.
>>108703016Repairable, looks like internals are to be supplied and likely available through third parties.Good connection and pairing capabilities.weird ergos if you don't like niggerstation controllers. Good responsive sticks that will likely have decent longevity. $100.four back buttons and gyro+grip capacitive touch. Available next monday if you want it.
>>108710053man, you really do like the taste of your own dick. Has anyone told you that's incredibly gay?
>>108710892>Speedrunners losing 0.02 framesGTFO anon, i need all the frames.
>>108712118STEAM HAS MELWARE, FBI HELLO?!?! Linux has a problem, Steam is the problem.
>>108712546Open source kernel drivers let the controller work perfectly on Linux even when Steam ISN'T running.Steam has to be running ONLY on Windows and Mac.>>108705684
I don't even play games.I'm buying one.
>>108710734>SDL can be used on windowsYeah if the application is compiled with support for it
>>108702988>99 dorrars >sticks are attached to the main board>even harder to desolder Bruh
>>108713000I'm more offended by the tv remote tier contacts for the buttons.
I would love this if it didn't have the touchpads.
>>108713041I would love a single one of the touchpads on something like a flydigi or gamesir.
>>108702988You sell D&D dice. I miss when people actiually played stuff like D&D and cthuhlu around tables. I'm buildinga holographic avatar for my LLM
>>108712810Lies, controller doesn’t exist in the market. There is no source code for it. You just created a fake thing that can’t be found.
>the thumbsticks are powered by quantum mechanics and tricknology.Holy shit>the rumble comes from the same speaker bullshit they have in modern phones instead of actual rumble enginesL
>>108704050I love you, you kindle joy in my heart whenever I see your post. Only the Artifact schizo makes me happier.
I use my og steam controller daily with my laptop docked to my tv. I never use it for games, I'd rather use an xbox style controller like my cyclone 2. But for the times I don't want a bulky keyboard/mouse tray setup to navigate a desktop in bed it's by far the best option.The new controller though>no dual stage triggers and/or locking triggers>plastic looks like the same cheap bs as the old controller>proprietary puck thing and no stand>playstation stick layoutI don't think the tradeoffs are worth $100. Maybe $70.

>>108713020Hey now, that's at least on a PCB. The Steam controller takes its design from Sony's budget slop, it's a fucking membrane with a cheap plastic shell to replace the FRP. And they fucked up the contacts so diagonals will be impossible.
>>108707451it is still a bit weird cause my xbox, ps4 and switch controllers also just work:tm: on both my lin distro and the windows I moved away fromgood to know itll work for me but that is marketing wise something that undermines the pricetag
>>108713805>playstation stick layoutIt's the Steam Deck layout
>>108714552It’s another lawsuit for stealing again
>>108707869Oh wow AIDF showed up
>inb4>Steam Controller released>people actually get their hands on it>turns out the Loonix driver doesn't make it work as a controller OOTB>Lincucks still need Steam Input to actually use it>both /g/ and /v/ Linuxtards go into full damage control mode after preemptively declaring victory
>>108707730Can't some controllers use the gyro to move the mouse cursor?Either way, my htpc has both a controller and picrel connected to it.
>>108714116god dammit, you're right. Where a rubber dome and membrane like that on a keyboard GN would be calling it ewaste.
>>108715545>turns out the Loonix driver doesn't make it work as a controller OOTBIsn't this normal? Pretty sure the old Steam Controller also has mouse + kb bindings by default if it's not remapped by Steam.
>>108715639It's technically different on a keyboard, we're talking about carbon coated membranes here while keyboards are multi layer stacks because they're designed as cheaply as possible. It's still the cheapest possible way to make a controller, and it's a design that Sony spent a decade perfecting to save on PCB costs while making the lowest quality controllers imaginable.
>>108713906Yes, wtf. Btw, wtf is the deal with the bots, hackers and r*ssians on cs2, literally unplayable, worst game of all time. Probably the same with deathloop, not gonna even try that shit, will ruin my day
>>108703163>>108703505>>108705111My gaming pc literally becomes a 2005 laptop everytime steam or spotify opens up. Im too coupled with these, help!
>>108715869If they are not crypto mining with a trojan horse, then I have lost all hope in humanity. Software is dead :'l
>>108715644The old one was stolen Patent that Valve took from Corsair. This is why you can’t buy the original, it’s why a second generation exists. Valve didn’t make it, Corsair did.
>>108713000big 2026 and steam controllers still using contact pads LMAOLIKE A GODDAMN 80S TV REMOTE LIKE A MEMBRANE KEYBOARDWHAT NO SWITCHESIN BIG 2026THAT'LL BE $100 DORRAR PLUS TIP PLUS DRM LOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL
I can see them dripping the frame out next, since it uses a ready baked SOC sold by Qualcomm it should in theory be easier to obtain than raw memory for the SM
>>108716484I just don't understand who this controller is for. the DualSense is probably the best, well maintained in-kernel driver, that literally has all these same low cost flaws.
