What did he mean by this?

Steam Controller 1 was better. The right trackpad should be the focus, not an analog stick. Trackpads are better.

they really don't need the cashflow so there's no rush. for a company like valve the r&d and brand reinforcement is an end in itself. subsidizing price and shipping a bunch of units at a loss doesn't make sense when you have a money printer, nor does shipping at $1000 or whatever and getting a bunch of bad pr.
the whole project is basically a hedge / warning shot to microsoft, a demonstration that valve's business could still be viable if MS gets cute and makes it difficult for steam to exist in the windows ecosystem
contrast this with the switch 2, a product that was rushed out the door to generate revenue nintendo shareholders very much needed to see, public perception be damned

Yeah my bro lemme buy some vidya gear in summer instead of the dead of winter nice one Valve!
>>
>>733731505
I really hope you're forced to buy the $750 PC to get the controller. Controllerfags are insufferable.

Finally, the perfect thread

What's the best controller for PC?

PS5, Xbox or Switch Pro?
I just need something that works
>>
>>733734629
xbox

>>733731912
Who gives a shit about the dpad when it's the greatest controller ever in every other aspect?
>>
>>733734656
muh fightan game
>>
>>733734629
Just wait for the Steam controller. Maybe get some cheap chinkshit to hold you over if you need one now.
>>733734651
Lol no. Lmao.
>>
>>733731746
and HL3

They're worried that it won't sell for shit on it's own because despite the supposed clamoring, the first steam controller tanked so hard they literally couldn't even GIVE them away, they had to bundle them with other shit to get them out of their warehouse by the end of it all.
They probably made like 1.5x controllers versus intended gabecube production, as well, so they're worried about releasing the controller and then burning through stock and not having enough for the steam machine launch if/when it does come out.
>>
>>733734690
Use a fightstick or some retro controller. Not like the extra features on this are useful in fighting games anyway.

Name one thing this controller does better than any $50 keyboard + mouse combo
Comfort is not a feature

how else are they going to sell the gabecube?
people want that sick ass controller
>>
>>733732041
Yeah but we're never getting one again because of patent trolls
>>
>>733735179
Wasn't the patent troll thing just for the back buttons? I don't think the trackpads had anything to do with it.

>>
>>733735930
>just swap batteries no plug to charge bs
How is getting up to swap the batteries easier than just plugging it in without even pausing?
>works without steam input in all games because they're all built for xinput
Guess what nigger, the Steam controller comes with an xinput mode too when Steam is closed. No reason to buy an xshit controller.
>best stick layout
Irrelevant. Both are fine.
>cheapest
Only among first party controllers. Plenty of cheaper third party options that are also better.
A controller without gyro simply shouldn't exist in 2006+20. It's outdated by 2 decades for absolutely no reason.
>>
My ps5 controller has stick drift and I was gonna replace it with this but I have to keep playing with this fucked controller till it comes out.
>>
>>733736210
>just plugging it in without even pausing?
1, i still have to pause to get the cable, i dont just have random cables laying around like an animal
2, it's a wireLESS controller, why the fuck would i want to be plugged into anything you filthskin?
>the Steam controller
the shit controller isn't out yet and the guy is asking which of the EXISTING controllers to get

DualSense in my opinion is by far the best feeling controller in years even with the garbage d-pad. Tons of games now natively support it, it mainly just struggles on older games but you can just use DualSenseX or DS4Windows to get past that issue. Steam Input isn't that great for it and sometimes breaks stuff like Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 2 being unplayable with it but again, DS4Windows. They are known to have stick drift, and I personally got it myself, but all I did was push down on the stick and go in a circle, then counter-clockwise and it's worked fine for like two years since that happened.

Official Xbox controllers ever since the 360 are not worth it unless you're a AA battery fetishist, especially Elites. They're not comfortable in the hand for long periods of time, small as hell, the sticks wear out crazy quick or develop drift, the face buttons suck so much compared to the 360, and the Elite specifically has major QC issues almost constantly.

Switch Pro and Pro 2 controllers are not only super janky to even get working on PC (Pro 2 currently requires you to go to a Github, run its tool in your browser, and only then can it detect your Pro 2 and not even really work despite that) but in any game that requires heavy RS usage I personally thing it just sucks. Nintendo sticks have been horrendous ever since the Wii U, the main appeal of the Pro controllers is how quiet it is, the long life, how everything but the sticks feel good, and how premium it feels. It also has problems with drift and they're not easy to take apart at all, especially the Pro 2.

If you want to step away from first party then look at literally anything GameSir. It's both Xinput and Dinput which you can flip on a dime and has Elite controller features for normal controller prices. The G7 Pro for example is excellent if you're just looking to use it on PC. It's a better Xbox controller but has the downside of being as small as modern Xbox controllers.
>>
>>733734629
do you want the best controller or just "something that works"? make your damn mind up
>>
>>733734629
Whatever stick layout you prefer, really.
If you want to plug and play with no 3rd party tools, unless you play old dinput games, get official Xbox controller.
>>
>>733736898
>i dont just have random cables laying around
You don't need random cables laying around. You only need the one connected to your PC with the other end on your couch.
>why the fuck would i want to be plugged into anything
Why the fuck would you not? There's no negative effect, no reason to not be plugged in.
>isn't out yet and the guy is asking which of the EXISTING controllers to get
Which is why I recommended him to get some cheap chinkshit to hold him over. He could also just wait. Both will be better than the xbox trash.
>>chinkshit
>>better
Yeah microslop is pathetic getting beaten that easily. 3rd party controllers have better build quality, more features like gyro and back buttons, all for cheaper.
>absolute meme, if you're trying to play FPS use a mouse and keyboard
Why should I do that? Are you able to provide a single reason?
Why should controllers be stuck in 2005 and never evolve beyond that? Why not 1995? Or 1985? Frankly, anything more than 1 button and a joystick is an absolute meme.
>>
>>733736970
Except when you need to play any game with aiming as a gameplay mechanic.
>>
>>733734690
and literally any other 2D or menu based game, you retarded nigger
>>
Come on bro, it will release alongside the Steambox or whatever that fuck they're calling it. Use your brain.
>>
>>733738050
I don't give a shit about that, not that its ever coming out anyway because of AI niggers. Just give me the fucking controller.
>>
>>733731505
On Valve's developer list on Steam, the controller says "Available:" while the cube and goggles don't. SOON.
>>
>>733731505
I feel like it's Gaben making these threads trying to build hype, no one wants to buy this piece of shit lel
>>
>>733737775
The joysticks are right there?
>>
>>733737256
What do you mean dinput games?
>>
>>733737053
Tangentially related but DS4 is such a piece of shit.

I use it with my Switch Pro wired and every two seconds it suddenly doesn't detect the controller anymore and I have to restart it.
>>
They cancelled the cube and sold the memory from it direct to companies for profit. That's why it's been delayed so long.
>>
>>733737775
Most games don't even support gyro.
>>
>>733741193
You can force enable it using SteamInput even if it doesn't even have it as a feature and there are community profiles for this.
More and more games that come out nowadays are also having it as an option, especially as Xbox (Which has been holding the feature back) has been losing relevancy.
>>
Gyro is a complete fucking meme and only good for Splatoon (Who the FUCK plays Splatoon on PC anyways..?)
I've had a Dualsense for like 5 years now and I've used Gyro controls maybe once or twice...?
>>
>>733744973
It's good in nu-MonHun for when you're fighting with a melee weapon but then suddenly need to aim for clutch claw/wirebug/focus strike.
