>Hundred dollar controllerGabecube is gonna be over a $1000 isn’t it
I honestly think they'll just cancel the Steam Machine, the Frame will quietly release for $1000 in November or something
>>737627358Taking away those two disgusting track pads will slice the price in half and make it look nicer.
>>737627582>Making the same fucking gamepad as everyone else will make the price of it the exact same as other controllers.
>>737627358coolremove the touchpads, add 2 more face buttons and we're set
>>737628278Yes.
>>737627582>>737628372do you clap every time you say the exact same shit and hit "post"?They aren't gonna remove shit just because they saw your screeching, that's the final product.Maybe it's just not for you
>>737627358Is the reviewer a confirmed burger or could he be a Canadian?
>>737627358That's unfortunately not very expensive for a modern controller. I was trying to buy one recently and I avoided a few because they were priced at $200.
Was it assembled in China?
>>737628725the last time steam tried this controller, they had to give it away for $5.no one fucking needs trackpads. they shouldn't be forced as the standard and help rack up the price.
>Breaking News!>Sony updates PS5 controller price!You know it will happen. They can’t leave money on the table.
>>737628989because they got patent trolled by c*rsair, curious how you snoys always leave that one out
>>737629042It won't happen as the steam controller sales will barely leave a dent in the total marketshare
>>737628816>Location: United KingdomL O N D O Nalso this happens every single time>they will subsidize the price!no, those days are long over
What's the use case for having track pads on a controller?
>>737628989>they shouldn't be forced as the standardthat's not what happening.Does anyone who owns a steam deck complain about the track pads??Just....don't fucking use them, you're not gonna get what you want anyway
>$25 moreOh noooo I have to work 1-2 hours to make that much my life is over.
>>737628816He's definitely british if you watch the video to hear his accent
>>737629148Right, so I just don't buy the product. Why are you malding over track pads?
>>737629095lmao
>>737627358>apparently>supposedly>rumours say
>>737629148>Does anyone who owns a steam deck complain about the track pads?same person here, and yes I do. they add to the unneeded size of the system and make it not fucking portable.
>>737629145The only example I ever see is playing games intended for mouse like 4X titles, ie Civilization. The idea hardly made sense a decade back with the first batch of Steam controllers, and now even less so to me when absolutely everything now has controller support, including aforementioned 4X games.
>>737629145Idk what other people use them for but I used them on the Deck to play dozens of pirated VNs because you can have it emulate a mouse input. Outside of that Ive seen some community configs use them for 2 extra D pads that have custom actions bound to them.
YEAH YEAH ITS TOO EXPENSIVESO I BETTER EXPECT YOU FAGGOTS TO NOT CLOG UP THE QUEUE WHEN IT GOES UP FOR ORDER
>>737629705sorry bro but that'll be $350 plus tip when I scalp it back to you
>>737627358If true that's really cheap. I was ready to pay $150 plus more. It looks like a brick but it has all the features I want.
So does it connect via Bluetooth or comes with a dongle?Bluetooth sucks.
>>737630524I just wish it had dual stage triggers
>>737627358Does it have Hall-Effect or TMR sticks?If not, DOA.
>>737628989Yeah, at $5 that basically just pays for the S&H. I got 2 of these controllers; one for me and another for family and neither of us used them beyond the initial set up and test phase. This should have never made it to market but that's what happens when you get high on your own farts.
>>737627358>only 25 dollars more
>>737629145Significantly better for any first-person game.
>>737627358Price seems fine.
I am getting two of these.I learned my fucking lesson from the first one.
no reason for every new premium controller not to do this
>>737627454>I honestly think they'll just cancel the Steam MachineI wouldn't be surprised. Or they'll release it and it'll just be very limited stock.PS6/Xbox Helix aren't that far off, and Steam Machine with its roughly base PS5 level specs is going to look like a really bad deal in comparison.
>>737630671It has TMR
>>737630697The controllers were sold for $5 because they were sued for patent infringement and had to get rid of the stock.
>>737630784>Significantly better for any first-person game.Eh... not better than a mouse. All the modern fps games have some aim assist running for controllers, you don't need to be precise like back in the 2008s. Halo, COD and Gears of War changed it forever with their aim assists. Kids nowadays don't even know they get aim assisted, they genuinely think they're good.
>>737627358>controller is bad because darkies think it costs too muchUmmm ok? I don't care.
>>737630850>still can't move the ABXYI just want something with the WiiU Pro controller layout, is that so hard third party manufacturers?
>>737627358i just spent 300aud on a mouse pad, 150 for a steam controller sounds good to me
>>737629145Valve is most famous for first person shooters, and you're supposed to a Steam Controller trackpad like a mouse in an FPS. It seems like a compromise that pleases nobody, but the idea was to use it for games that are better on mouse and keyboard than controller.
Steam frame price though? If it even approaches the index price it's DOA
>>737631087You're poor
Touchpadbros WW@?
Dualsense is better and cheaper, why would you buy crappy steam stuff? I rarely use the trackpads on the steam deck.
>>737631087You need to get off government assistance, get a job and work over time. Poor people are irrelevant.
>>737627358over $1.5k to be exact
Valve hardware are all going to be priced above what the average gaymer is used to because Valve can't get the material and manufacturing prices the giant companies get.
>>737631236Dualsense is a piece of shit. The only cool feature is the haptic triggers which hardly any games actually make an interesting use of.
don't get scammed by kikesinform yourself and buy the chinkshithttps://gamepadla.com/
>>737631681desu I expected it to be between a standard controller and a pro one so this price was no surprise to me.
>>737627358>only $25 more than a PS5 controllerIgnoring the absurdity of that statement, who the hell is paying $75 for a PS5 controller?
>>737631851No trackpads ..
>>737631918thats how much a brand new one costs. the price on controllers went up. im glad i locked mines in at $40 during black friday.
>>737631851We're not buying a game sir you esl mutt
>>737632029Amazon has dozens of PS5 controllers that are $35-$40 new.
>>737632390those are fake just like all the rtx 5090s and 4090s
>>737632734Sure thing, mate
>>737632762playstation has a huge fake controller problem you giga retard. its impossible to buy a real dualshock 3 for instance.
>>737631851The pixel art for the controllers is cute.
>>737627358It's a terrible controller but no. The original xbox & 360 teams, not microsoft, perfected gamepads and other development methods there hasn't been anything better than an xboxfat or 360 type gamepad since they were created. All you can do is put better components on them and pretend there's anything to substantially improve
>>737631851>Chinkshitgot one and the fucking LB broke.
>>737628663Can you explain why you aren't buying those other controllers when they do everything you want at a price you prefer?
>>737627358>Buying Valve hardwarelmaoooooooooooooooo
Why is every single complaint made by shitposters always about the fucking trackpads? Is this the narrative given to them by Timmy and told to spread?
100 dollars feels steep and I probably won't get one but why are people expecting controllers to not get more expensive along with everything else that is getting more expensive?
>>737635882Their favorite youtuber tried to use one for five minutes and his faggot brain couldn't handle the trackpads so they're shit
>>737635882different = bad
>>737630956They couldn't fit a mouse on the controller. The trackpad is the second best solution, just ahead of a full-sized high quality trackball.
>>737627358don't care still buying the controller and the VR. The GabeCube is useless for me tho
>>737628989>waaaaah I want more of the SAME I don’t like it when things are different
>>737629145I can think of a bunch of action games with aim modes>nu-Tomb Raider>Shadow of War>Arkham seriesand so on. Using thumbsticks for aiming in those games always sucked ass, which is why I sometimes went for keyboard and mouse instead if the game expected me to aim often enough.With trackpads suddenly this doesn't become an issue, and I can play them with a controller no problem.
>>737638358Yeah there's a reason why most of those kinda games have auto aim included because they know the manual aim sucks ass.
>>737635882Don't you recall all the threads shilling GameSaar and 8BitDo junk? V is a shill board, so we have Valve shills and chinkshit shills clashing in this thread.
Seems about right to me. Switch 2 controller is 90, joycons are 100, PS5 controller and a bunch of chinkpads are around 80.
>>737628278Controllers and keyboards have been perfected for decades which is why they dont need to change You will never be a woman
>>737638280Innovation should be a four letter word more often. Making controllers is an old science and people already figured it out 20 years ago. You either like asymmetrical or symmetrical designs and they were perfected long ago. Being unique doesn't make you useful.
>>737627358Gabe you let me down, bro
>>737627454I doubt they cancel the machine, but it's clear the parts shortage is fucking them over massively.Not the end of the world if it gets delayed and they upgrade parts. But at this point Valve needs to big dick AMD and their suppliers to actually supply shit. Even Sony and MS are getting fucked, but at least they can get PARTS for shit to try to sell it.
>>737627358What’s the point of trackpad. If you want good aiming with a controller you use gyro. If you want to play something like an RTS, trackpad I imagine would still feel like complete dogshit. Valve should have invested into standardizing gyro instead of this ugly as fuck trackpad shit

I'd gladly pay $100 for a good controller, with that being said I'd never buy valeshit.
>>737635882Because you remove the trackpad and it’s the same as every other controller retarded steamfag. You’re paying $25 extra for an ugly as fuck controller with useless shit on it
>>737640096every controller has back buttons, gyro controls and a magnetic connector? News to me.
>>737640229Welcome to the real world, son.
>>737627358Realistically the ps6/helix controllers are going to be close to $100 too.The only reason the price hasn't went up on the current model is because they had enough of them produced prior to the economy shitting itself.
>>737627358>it's only 25 dollars more than the most expensive paperweight on the marketAh, good to know, I feel much better already
>>737640330Weird, my xbox controller doesn't have these features.Mind telling me which non-pro controller do you have that has all these additional features?
>>737640351Yeah the Switch 2 pro controller is $90 USD and it's literally just a generic gamepad with nothing special on it.
>>737629145>playing cod black ops>want to chill on the couch>dont want to use caveman analog sticks>add joystick to left touchpad for movement>add mouse for right touchpad>now i have max precision for both movement and mouseunfortunetly not all games can do gamepad+mouse so this controller having joysticks leaves both options available. also a ton of people use the touchpads for radial menus etc>>737629290that would be the huge joysticks making it non portable. unless you want to use shitty joysticks like the one on 3ds or vita
>>737630561both. it can do normal bluetooth, wired, or dongle
>>737639957It's because a lot of older games just don't support gamepads.Playing VTMB on gamepad is miserable.
>>737630956yes it is. i used the og steam controller on fortnite and it was just as good as mouse. you just need to actually try and learn to use the device instead of giving up after 5 mins. gta games also worked well
>>737633789>perfected>by having games take control for youjust watch gameplay on youtube, you dont play games
>>737635882because people are afraid of new things. theyve been on joysticks for 20 years and hate the idea of learning an input device that doesnt hold their hands. most of these psbabies and nintendorks dont even want to learn kb+m
>>737638528manual aim with joysticks. the thing trackpads are trying to replace? you know thats why valve (and nintendo) try new input methods right
>>737633789I used to think this but nah. The Bone controller is the best followed closely by the SeX controller.The SeX controller would be the best but the textured grip feels bad and the rubber on the thumbsticks comes apart within a year or two.
>>737639957so sad to see posts like this. valve already standardized gyro on all their controllers ever. track pads only help and someone who learned to use gyro cant see that?
>>737627358They could sell it for $40 but want to bundle it with Steam Machine for "$100 value!"
>>737629145Strategy games. Mouse and keyboard emulation for games without (full) controller support.
>>737627358Does anyone else have Steam fatigue? Like why am I paying $99 for a controller and $1000 for a console which is digital only and I don't actually own the games I buy?
I like the selling feature is a fucking trackpad. Lmao yeah because everyone loves using laptop trackpads...
>>737627358All this goes tos how is that 4chan is full of no-game niggers who last played a game a decade ago and think controllers are still 45 bucks.
>>737643098theres a subset of pc boomers who have never owned a console so they react to dual sticks the same way your grandma would. For them a laptop trackpad is actually preferable.
>>737627358>yet you can do so much morelike what? scroll lists with your thumb?
>>737642887Why don't you own them? what?
>>737643098Honestly I loved using my 2009 laptop's trackpad, it was fucking excellent. It was the dogshit change to smooth ones with no physical buttons that ruined them.
>>737639671The issue is the more they wait the more outdated the machine becomes. Sony and MS will probably reveal their next gen soon and when that happens the steam machine will be seen as extremely underpowered, i doubt it will even be able to play newer games.
>>737645592All the hard work is done, they just need to buy a newer chip to solder onto the mobo. next gen consoles are going to be expensive too.
>>737645592>>737645740Something I noticed is that they pit a lot of effoer into making it small and handling thermals that come with it. But like why? Just make it bigger, why give yourself a headache over something most people wont care about
>>737645870it has to fit in a tv stand, its not going under a computer desk. If you're going to have to go custom anyway then making it smaller isn't costing them more. it keeps down material and shipping costs.
>>737645592What the fuck difference does "power" make when there are no exclusives worth getting on console? AAA games are uniformly shit anyway. This fucking myth about needing more powerful graphics cards and RAM and shit needs to die already.
>>737648175GTAVI will prove you wrong once it comes out in 2027.
>>737627454>Frame will get even more expensive than Quest>Steam Machine is just as fuckedGotta bundle them with HL3 then.
>>737648919I thought zucc stopped selling at a loss
>>737627358I have not seen a single mention of the dpad. I don't care about track pads and gyro lol, only slop uses that
>>737649423It's a basic dpad. Probably the same as on the Deck so nothing special.
>>737627358At this point im more excited about what the chinks will be able to do with the new ARM shit with proton and stuff, will probably result in way better handhelds that are actually portable AND probably cheaper
>>737629145I mostly use them for additional inputs, and they're great for that. I can have a dpad on both sides of the controller, a button to turn gyro on/off, or even my own custom radial menus. SteamInput lets them be used for almost any input, so their function as a mouse is just a bonus for me in most games. The DS4 trackpad had similar, albeit more limited functionality with SteamInput which was also nice.
>>737627582Those trackpads are the killer feature and make games designed to only work with mouse and keyboard viable to play on a controller.
