Yeah, I'm passing. Not once have I thought "damn, I wish I had some awkward laptop trackpad right now".

those trackpads are unironically killer tho, literal gamechanger
>>

It would be more fair to compare this to premium controllers, which would make it half the price of the competition while offering features.
>>
>>737622946
>it actually is $100
I warned you faggots and you did not listen
it was NEVER going to be anywhere near as low as $60
>>
I understand the love for trackpads with the Steam Deck, but it seems silly to have them on the controller + charge extra for them.
>>
>>737622946
How hard to press are the face buttons on the Steam Deck? I've got an 8bitdo Pro 3 and those make my thumb hurt after like an hour.
>>
>>737624262
been a thing since the ps4 and was barely useful there, but now that valve is going it we're supposed to pretend it's an innovation

>>737624262
They're there so you can use a Steam Machine like a normal PC without needing a keyboard and mouse.
>>
>>737624348
The PS4 version is shit, and to use it on PC you have to use DS4.
>>
>>737624397
It seems kinda retarded. If you're in desktop mode, you may as well just use a mouse and keyboard.

>>
>>737624657
the irony of calling me a snoy when I don't even own a ps4, also laptop trackpads feel like garbage so it's not a high bar to clear. It's easier to use the touchscreen for any mouse inputs on my deck, and gyro for shootan, the trackpads feel awful and are rarely ever worth using. It's unironically a gimmick.
>>

>>737623457
the sticks are better than what any of the big hardware makers sell and valve is kind of a big deal? this controller will have more support and compatibility than whatever other controller you can name

>>737622946
Why would I buy a controller with a basic rumble motor in 2026?
>le heckin tmr
Anyone with basic competence can switch out the sticks in a Dualsense.
>le heckin trackpad
Pretty neat I admit. I think analogue sticks are outdated when trackpads are so much more precise, and durable, but doesn't matter because games would still be built around the expectation of analogue sticks.
>>

shits gonna be discontinued early next year. No normal person is being that huge fuck of a “controller” and for 90 bucks easily it was made for the retards that gargle gabes cum. You can be hundreds of better controlers for 20 bucks

>99 bucks for a controller that's the equivalent of the elite version of consoles but better.
Wishlisted, cannot wait.

>>737622946
I bought an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 instead for 60 bucks and there are no important features I'm missing out on, plus I get to have the superior left stick layout
>>
>>737624997
they still support the original steam controller, gabe box, and index, so who cares
>>
>>737622946
Too overpriced, guess I'll just get the frame.
Any chance for a price drop? I've never followed gayben's hardware prices
>>
Gyro, Trackpad, back buttons
the only controller that fits is those Snoylite controllers, and those are like $200

this is a bargain.
>>
>>737624262
I've used the trackpad on my PS4 and PS5 controllers for a lot of things over the years, especially MMO's or similar games with tons of skills and hotkeys for menus etc. Pressing left side, pressing right side, swipe up/down/left/right is already 6 additional keybinds and I could even use them in the middle of action combat. Steam Controller is just that but even better, I'll definitely pick one up since I lost my original one in a move years ago.
>>
>>737622946
>$100 for a controller
Dropped.
>>
>>737625169
The snoy elites have way more tech
this literally just refuses what's inside the steam deck
>>

what more tech? a mic? lmao

It's the same size as any other regular controller, just the space between the grips is filled in.

$100 would be a fair price for the snoy elite controller
I won't pay more than $80 for the gabe controller, simple as. Enjoy the lack of community made controller layouts and mods because only 3 faggots will buy this shit. I'll keep playing risk of rain 2 with my $10 gyro amazon controller, it just werks.
>>
>>737622946
This controller is made to play anything on steam, it's expensive, but anything with the same features is more expensive than it.
Also, I don't know if anyone knows this, but will it have a workshop like place for you to get the best control schemes for each game?

>>737625245

>>737624916
Uhhh xis, it has HD rumble....
>>
>>737625415
I know you can't conjure up images in your head due to your abysmally low iq, but the original steam controller had a "track pad" that replaced one of the sticks, and one replaced the D-pad. The new one has both sticks, and two track pads.
>>
>>737625101
I think the Deck has had a 20% off sale once or twice. I don't think the Index ever did. I don't think the controller will ever get a perma price drop. Unlike the original, there's an actual demand for this controller

What's the point of a "do everything" controller with lesser quality than separate dedicated controls that costs 100 bucks anyway?
You are better off spending slightly more on a good mouse and a good standard controller as there is no game I can think of where I would simultaneously need sticks, dpad, trackpads, and gyro all at once. I have separate products for each of these purposes.

The lack of a d-pad and two sticks was never the problem.
The problem was that they should have gone with 6 face buttons located between the trackpads and no stick.
D-pads are obsolete, dual analog was never a good control scheme, adding these was only ever necessary due to Xinput mangling PC input rebinding for most of the 2010s.

I think you'll struggle finding any controller with TMR or hall effect that also takes AA batteries, but if you just want a controller with decent sticks for a similar price or less check out brands like fantech, gamesir, 8bitdo, etc.
Actually searching right now apparently the 8bitdo pro2's rechargeable battery is removeable and can take AA batteries instead? too lazy to confirm if that's true

having to be conscious of your own holding defeats the very purpose though. There's a softcap on the dualsense and the gamecube controller has that very pronounced clunk on full depress.Try playing returnal and having to feather the fucking trigger between normal and charged shot, you can't. Mind, there's basically no games that use it, so it's not a HUGE deal, but it would probably see more adoption if more controllers had it. Workarounds are lame.

I use 2 fingers curling on the fins to be able to actually grip my ds4/xbox controllers. This would only let me use 1, I don't like even the thought of not being able to hold my controller properly.

Nah, not having a dpad on the original Steam controller was a retarded decision.

It's not like youre fingers wrap all the way around to the front where the extended face would get in the way, right? Or are you an ayyy? Your middle and ring fingers are supposed to rest on the back buttons. The 'eck is similar and really comfortable.
>>
>>737628257
They wrap about 3/4 around when accounting for my whole hand. for the left side my palm is against the out facing fin, then my ring and pinky finger are usually curled around for stability, middle on trigger, index on l1/r1, thumb on sticks/buttons.
These controllers look like they're just big square, it's a design I just can't wrap my head around, I think I'd need to try one, hopefully they do demos of some sort cause I'd never risk $100.

Controllers need more buttons and bullshit like scroll wheels, and analog facebuttons like the PS2/3, or whatever else can be stapled on. The average person's fingers are nimble enough to handle multiple buttons and different shit attached onto controllers could be good for different types of control/navigation for player movement or menus.

Maybe if D-pads hadn't gotten into patent wars they could have been refined into something better, but as it stands the d-pad is still just a way to solve button economy issues on low-button ewaste while introducing the potential for misinputs, and it wouldn't have been an issue if the Steam Controller 1.0 hadn't had a useless stick while also sequestering one of the face buttons on the ass end of the controller just so that it could have a diamond shape.

Total meme. Controllers can have more accessory face buttons tho. Like how touch panel of DS4 is hiding 4 buttons but only 1 game (Elite Dangerous) uses them

Xinput was a thing because Microsoft sharted out the worst, cheapest and most overmarketed controller known to man and slapped it with the most garbage Dinput mappings.

Anything other than a single thumbstick that doesn't share face real-estate on its part of the controller is shit, the only acceptable analog stick positioning is on the N64 and Wii Nunchuk.

If the trackpads are anything like the Steam Deck's trackpads I can't imagine it being worth using. The dropoff in precision and accuracy and speed is just too much.

And I'm not sure why I'd get a steam controller otherwise. It doesn't seem to have any killer features that make me think 'oh shit that sounds great, I want this so I can take advantage of that feature'

All the features just seem like standard boilerplate stuff. It's even a step down from lots of other controllers in a bunch of ways, like apparently the haptics aren't even up to snuff for e.g. playing PS5 ports on Steam that would utilize the PS5 controller's haptics.

It just doesn't seem to make sense to me. I don't know who this is for, or what I'd get out of it.

A triggers + d-pad is pretty common in action games tho. You're not real gamer if you can spam skills on the move. It's pretty useful in mlg pro console fps. No idea why xbox analog layout is still associating with CoD when you need to press dpad on the move for peak performance.

It would be useful, but it isn't required on PC since many games will have additional keyboard specific inputs you can then map to the controller. You are taking advantage of natively implemented features for a different set of hardware that the game was designed to work with. As an easy example, I bind the track pad on my PS4/5 controller to the number keys as the default since they are often used for hotkeys. You often have people say controllers can't compete with keyboard because they don't have enough inputs, so giving them access to the keyboard inputs is an obvious path forward.

>its just gonna be setup hell for every game
I'm probably in the minority, but I absolutely love making complicated controller layouts for games that shouldn't be played with a controller. It is as fun as playing most games and super satisfying when you get it just right. Beyond Citadel is one of my favorites so far with its 3 buttons dedicated just to reloading on top of leaning and things that usually get cut from modern shooting games because controllers don't have enough buttons. Down swipe to pullout a magazine, up swipe to put in a new one, and finally a trigger to chamber a round feels just right. The only problem is that trying to share them would be nearly impossible with the three sentences space Valve gives you to explain the myriad of action maps and unusual button combos so anyone else who wants to use it would be lost.

IMHO they probably intended to charge less originally but they want to be able to add "$100 value" to Steam Machine bundles since they'll have to sell them with almost no margin.

Also IMO they're not waiting for RAM inventory or for prices to drop before they sell the Frame or Machine, they're waiting for everyone else to be forced to jack up their prices so when they announce their own price it won't sound so outrageous. Sure enough, everyone's price has gone way up in the last month or so - Sony, Oculus, PC OEMs, tablet manufacturers, etc. It makes sense there's finally some motion now.

As someone who's bought from all the big brands, I gotta say they're all dogshit. Switch Pro controller lasted longer than my Xbox one, which had the bumper just snap right the fuck off. The Dualsense has amazing features unique to it but it doesn't matter when the sticks break within 6 months. That's what happened with my SPro too. Ever since then I've been using a KingKong2 and it's been great but the grip on each thumbstick has worn out over the years (yes YEARS.) It's a tolerable issue because i'm a Real Gamer and just get used to it, but I'll probably grab one of these for comparison if nothing else. My mouse's scroll wheel is fucked, so I guess it has an edge on Corsair too.

I think it is a good deal, I spent $150 on controllers past gen thank to drifting, take into account I learned how to fix them myself as well so include $40 of tools.
The problem is scalping.
So if you REALLY want one, realistically prepare to shelve $300.
>>
>>737642584
>>737642597
You lose precision from flicking, as you're relying on an approximation of the resulting velocity vector based on a single stroke of movement, then having to correct that movement with your hand after the stroke. Anyone playing shooters using a trackpad will always have that "jitter" to their aiming, no matter how much you practice, as predicting how your strokes will be interpreted as rotational accelleration is simply not reliable enough. There is insufficient data for a trackpad to track this with any real precision and you lose fine-motor stability completely. Can you adapt to this? Absolutely. Should you? No. You have better options, such as using a mouse or at least using gyro.

>Should you? No

>>
>>737644067
Because it's worse than even gyro, which the steam controller has anyway.
>>
>>737643192
its not worth getting into because there's fuck all games that allow simultaneous mouse + controller input and gyro to joystick emulation feels fucking disgusting. Its like teaching yourself to prefer inverting your controls, all it does is cause problems.
>>
>>737622946

>>
>>737644113
Why "even gyro". It uses angular velocity. Rotation vs translation. Except I can do instant 180. So why use mouse when it worse than gyro? It's outdated tool of 2D generation. 3D gyro chads will rule he future.

should this replace my xbox controller that i use to play driving games that im not good at
>>
>>737639613
No, but I do sometimes. And when I do, I'd like to not sacrifice on the controls like I'd have to with a normal controller.
>>
>>737644612
Because gyro is continuously tracking movement position with multiple angular velocity sensors that are always active (side note: this is why gyro controllers have reduced battery life overall), while a trackpad can't continuously track as your finger has to lift off and reposition. Mouse is better than gyro as it has continuous tracking plus a higher degree of precision (which can be down to a sub-pixel level), plus gyro data accuracy can drift as its position is relative and not absolute in controllers.

Do you lift your mouse to reset its position during high action? Yes? Yes.

You can't turn quickly with gyro or though and sticks are awful for turning. Use the touchpad for your main movement and gyro for precision movement.
>>
It is good faith you just have no arguments.

your hands are weak and not trained for gyro. Rotation is fully controllable down to a sub-pixel level. Fact.

>Use the touchpad for your main movement and gyro for precision movement.
Might work with a lot of practice, but I'd personally stick with stick+gyro for consistency.

Nintendo were the first to push $70-80 standard controllers with the Pro Controller and Joycon Pair in 2017.
>>
>>737646330
>Use the touchpad for your main movement and gyro for precision movement.
That's the way to do it, but a small nitpick.
>and sticks are awful for turning
That's generally true, but flick stick fixes it and it's really only preference if you want trackpad + gyro or flick stick + gyro.
>>
>>737637479
16x16 per pad is probably excessive but even if you just do 2x2 you get 8 extra buttons. I played PSO2 that way for a while. It's really nice to have those extra buttons on a controller.
>>
>>737626238
i use them for shooter games that are built for mk+b. i usually bind them to ctrl and shift key and one to turn on gyro

Steamies are a cult.
>>
>>737642292
I had a similar experience. It's amazing how fucking dogshit all new "official" controllers are. I'm on like my fourth Xbox controller and fortunately it hasn't died yet, the buttons kinda get sticky once in a while for some godforsaken reason which never happened with any other controller but whatever. I'll probably cave in and try one of those chinkoid controllers when this one shits the bed.

my cheapshit Chinese pads last longer and have better quality control than any official sony or xbox pad ive used. Nintendo is completely hit or miss, the switch controllers were even worse than the dogshit sony pads.

the entire panic rush for TMR or HAL effect sticks has nothing to do with the underlying tech in traditional pads, its purely because of how cheap and nasty the modern ALPs sticks everyone uses are, old pads never had problems with stick drift or stutter.
