>100 DOLLARSAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA
>>737652106my only issue with the controller on the deck is the rubber around the thumbstick lost its adhesive so it spins around the stick itself and im too lazy to send it to valve to rma it even if its free
>>737652106I just need to know if the back pads (don't know the actual name of it, forgot) are good
>>737652106>jeets think $100 for a controller is a lotwait until you hear how much the console costs
>>737652187>he uses the joysticksThose are just there for the boomers and retards
>>737652265the ones on the deck are pretty good, but they only click in on the handle itself, the part the portrudes out towards the flat part of the back doesnt click in which is a lil annoying. if i remember correctly the back buttons on the controller are more like circles so the whole thing should click in
>>737652106so $30 more than an xbone controller? who cares?
>>737652302i use my deck for emulation and occasionally some lowend games, no reason to use anything other than the thumbsticks
>>737652404you dont understand this is a huge deal, a slightly more expensive controller that wont break after a year of use? unprecedented.
>>737652106>$99 is a lot of money to meAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
there’s cheaper than scam controllers from ms, sony, razer etc. that offer worse technology
>>737652106
>>737652106I want this one instead instead of that terrible design.
>>737652106How much is this in human money?
This shows gabecube will be $1k+
8BitDo, and never looked back...
>>737652780one hundred american dollars
>>737652106>here's why that's a good thing
>>737652887No like non-monopoly money
>>737652106poor?i'm waiting happily for the vr + machine + controller
>>737652369the design of the back buttons looks some cheap button from a cheap controller, I don't know if the buttons respond is good or not
>>737653082so we already know the price of them all according to your pic?
>>737653052idk the conversion rate from real money to pesos or rupees sorry
>>737652106>we have had controllers that have cost an upwards of $200($350 when factoring inflation) for over twenty five years now >but this one is the issueI don't get these threads at all.
>>737653323Makes sense since the value jumps up and down drastically every second (more often it's down)
>>737653402Paid EGS shills.
>>737653402you can either buy chinkshit for $25 dollars or razer pro controllers with interchangable thumbsticsk and adjustable triggers for $250. no inbetween
>>737652106I mean that's what happens for a controller that sits between Gamesir, Flydigi, 8bitdo for cheap but solid feature sets, more quality than Playstation or Xbox by default, but isn't quite Pro/Elite Controller insanity. Surprise buddy, the controller market is kind of retarded.
>>737653557That seems really stupid of them, this place hardly has any real people lurking or otherwise.
>>737653402yeah I don't really get it either I was expecting $120 so $100 seems pretty good
>poornigger general
>>737652106i don't get it
does it have a secret compartment?
>>737653886it's not even about rich or poor, it's just stupid ignorance of the market and outing your self as a click bait clown. "oh look at this anons! Company Y is making a $700! That's so stupid and crazy cause you can buy a $5 at a dollar store!" It just feels like OP was that desperate to make a thread
>>737652106I paid $180 for my custom Xbox Elite controller. Maybe get a job Mr. OP?
>>737654029every somewhat major news announcement thats gaming related has about 2 or 3 threads that are actually talking about what happened, then another 2 or 3 threads where you can tell OP was desperate to make a thread and get (you)s but couldnt actually think of anything that contributed to the topic
Why are Valve such jews?
>>737654084I hope your adhesive didn't die.
>>737652106>half the price of "pro" controllers with 90% of the features, 100% of the features that are actually useful (nobody uses hot swappable joysticks)>comes free with my gabecube>this is bad somehow
>>737653402There was another thread earlier with the OP image being a guy with a steam logo shooting himself with a shotgun while other guys with console logos watched.OP must've been so butthurt about steamies memeing on console babies he just needed an excuse to reverse the meme on them and this was it.
>>737654178but have you considered that my chinkshit amazon basics controller also has buttons on it that can be pressed, making it just as good as your controller?
>>737653154You could make reasonable estimates. I put 800 bucks into my wallet for the frame, back in nov/dec.(Paypal was doing a 20% cash back offer, so it cost me 680 to load 800 into my wallet)
>switch 2 games are 100 dollars.....>a controller is priced like ps5 and Xbox and switch pro controllersAHAHAHAHAHA
>>737654212That's not much of a reverse when all those companies also sell $100+ controllers. Hell a set of Nintendo Switch 2 Joycons are about $80 bucks and those are somewhat barebones. I just don't get this place anymore.
>>737654313shouldnt that be 640
>>737654313Probably, I didn't do the math. I just went off memory.
>>737654363There's nothing to get>shills and marketers>pol fags and streamer kiddiesEquals modern /v/
>>737654363As much as I can sympathize with some poorfags, some of it is definitely the "not in my price range so i'll shitpost" poorfagging, and some of it is just the usual contrarianism to bitch and moan about something someone likes. Just look at any controller threads that mention Gamesir, a chinese brand but people see that one word and repeat the same joke as if it's simply an automatic reflex with no further thought.
>>737654178Or you can get a $50 chinkshit controller on Amazon that has all the features of a "pro" controller and twice the build quality. The Valve controller just targets low IQ and uninformed buyers, but I can't blame them either since Steamtards are always worth scamming.
>A B X YGay. Sony will always have the best aesthetic. Though the shape of the PS4 and PS5 controllers suck, Dualshock 3 was the last good one.
>>737653154no that's just the wallet max, it errors you around 1900~
https://www.pcgamesn.com/valve/steam-controller-review https://www.pcgamesn.com/valve/halflife-3-reviewlinks aren't up yet
Retards are actually gonna buy this instead of the Chinese knock offs that will come out in a year lol
>>737652106I am much more disappointed that frame is $1100 even if it comes with a steam controllers and power bank.I feel trapped, no good VR solution worth the money.
>>7376553911.1k will be scalper priceif you live in a real country you'll have msrp
50 bucks during black fridaydoesn't feel like a toy
>>737655460Good morning anon, welcome to the party.It IS official price of frame base model.
>>737655590based on one g schizo
>>737655581pic unrelated?
>>737655617idk about that shizo but saw bunch of leaks on discords in last ~12h or so in places I generally trust.I'd be surprised if they're all false.
>>737655745either trolls or ragebait using the full kit price and passing it off as base version
Any game I would use this controller for over others I would simply use Mouse+KB. This thing is just going to make the Steam Machine more expensive when most people could just use controllers they already have.
>>737652106>100 dollar standard for games aren't enough, we need to set it for controllers tooimagine simping for this
>>737655821Dream anon>doubt.jpgbut who knows, few weeks max and we'll know.
>>737652106An xbox controller is eighty dollars, which makes the steam controller only twenty dollars more. How is this different from normal?
It's the same price as the Switch 2 Joycons. Cheaper than the premium Xbox and PlayStation controllers. $15 more than the standard Xbox and PlayStation controllers. For the better sticks, touchpads, and back buttons, this doesn't seem like a terrible price difference. If you don't want any of those features, then this price doesn't mean anything to you anyways. Just buy a cheaper traditional controller.
>>737657212An xbox controller isn't an enthusiast product, is highly repairable and supported and goes onsale occasionally. It sells so good that when microsoft announces the price raise of consoles and subscriptions they didn't raise the controllers price at all. $100 replacement controllers or keeping another as a spare is way too expensive and unreliable. The world needed a real controller from a real company unlike 8bitdo and stadia and the goy attached two laptop trackpads. Time for some fucking half life 3 mechanic tied to a 100 dollar controller hockey pad function. Yikes.
>>737652106>poor loser can't afford cheap controllerkek, I'll be enjoying my new controller soon while you seethe 8)
>>737658784I'd pay $20 more for sticks that don't start drifting after a month
>>737652106100% they did this to make the Steam Machine that comes with one seem like a better value. The fucked up part is dogshit like the switch pro controller is $85 and sold millions, so this plus the other overpriced 1st party offerings actually make $100 for the Steam controller look reasonable.
>>737658784modern xbox controllers are complete dogshit in terms of build quality compared to the original 2015 steam controller which you could get for like 5 bucks
>>737652187>rma it even if its freethis is already a better deal than dual sense and xbonedoes it get stick drift? I might get one when my current controller inevitably shits the bed
>>737654635>Or you can get a $50 chinkshitYou already said it, Chinese crap with the same drifting problem as the $70 Sony or Xbox controllers
>>737659747The Switch 2 Pro Controller is actually $90. The Steam controller is probably a better value in that regard since it has more features and TMR sticks for $10 more.
>>737655581Drifting in two year kek
bought pic rel not too long ago for 50 bucks and it is great so far.
>70 where I livepretty much what I expected
>>737659957>The Switch 2 Pro Controller is actually $90.Fucking LMAO I was expecting someone to correct me on how it's actually cheaper now or something. Absolutely horrendous for something with $50 Anbernic handheld-tier controls actually it's not even cheap anbernic tier because of how godawful that d-pad is
>>737659763>steam controller firesale for $5 at end of life>didn't bother grabbing one cuz I'm a lazy fuck and didn't need one at the timesame happened with that vita tv thing
It gives me hope that the steam machine wont be 1000 now. I mean just think, that means about half the price of the steam deck went towards the controller portion and screen of the damn thing and not the actual pc components.
>$100 for an ultimate controller is a bad dealare consolecucks really unable to read the specs sheet?
i just wish somebody would make a better version of this controller. best control scheme i’ve ever used but the fucking left paddle already broke a few weeks after purchasing and the thing overall feels like a flimsy piece of shit. plus the analog stick is useless when dual pad gaming and the controller would’ve been way better served by a proper dpad
I need a good gyro controller. Wait for this or buy a dualsense?
>>737660740obviously wait, the snoy controller isn't worth half the price it's being sold for
>>737652629
>>737652565What do you do for your fellow man that he pays you so much?
>>737652106kekaroooojust wait till they annouce the gabecubes price
>>737654029You're overthinking your headcanon, and $100 is a retarded amount for a controller. There's nothing stupid about not playing pretend time with this faggy fake market of old-tech products being released at prices only drug dealers would be moronic enough to pay.
>>737652302Who the fuck uses a trackpad for movement?
I'm still gonna buy it
>>737661616ipad babies
>>737659909Technically the deck can get drift, but the only time I got mine to was when I fell asleep on it.They make no solder TMR/Hall effect replacements though.
>>737661561$30 premium for features and higher build quality is absolutely a great markupit gets you tmr sticks and you're not using fucking bluetooth anymore, imagine that
I didn't use the trackpads on my Deck too much, outside of putting emulator keybinds on them
>>737652106Bitch, what are you, poor? I spent TWICE that on my Xbox Elite 2 controller....Wait, that's a bad thing.
I understand why it would be $100 but i’d rather wait till it’s on sale
>>737661754>no solderthe fact this even needs to be specified because of how shitty the console producers have been on this is crazy.
What the fuck happened to good D-Pads, why are nearly all of them shit
A controllers with back buttons that doesn't suck ass seems pretty cheap at $100. Let's just hope it doesn't suck ass.t. xbox elite chump
>>737661758If a new version of Bluetooth came out tomorrow and costed twice as much, you tards would be on here bragging about how much you overpaid for it.
>>737661979Chinks are making all the good d-pads now.
>>737661902You can go crack open an old ass controller an the thumbsticks will be soldered to the board.Having a detachable thumbstick is fairly atypical unless it's a portable device.Not that I'd say no to the Steam Con2roller having thumbsticks attached via an easily replaceable ribbon cable, but that's not what manufacturers typically do.
so it's better than xbone and snoy "elite" controllers and cheaperconsolecucks can't stop losing
>>737662087no nigger, Bluetooth is a fucking decade behind in terms of latency compared to 2.4ghz the steam controller ships with
>>737662304Yeah no you're not exempt nintendork. Out of the three mainstream options there are the dualsense/ds4 with a stick mod is the best option.
>>737662241I should've "still" in front of "needs to be specified", but I decided against it for some reason. I can give the older stuff a pass when everyone was doing their own thing, but there's absolutely no need for that anymore and hasn't been since the 8th gen.
>>737662381bodied that nintentranny freak.
>>737652106Looking at the controller, one of the first things I notice is that more than half of it is crunched up toward the top to make room for not one but two touchpads, a feature which is literally useless and has never been used by anyone, ever. $100. Modern suburbanites sure are smart.
>>737662381As someone with a non-modded Dualsense I disagree. This thing feels plain bad. I may have gotten more used to Xbox controllers over the years after the PS3 era was done and dusted, but Dualsense feels like more of a toy than even the Nintendo stuff because it's so focused on being smooth and clean yet having oddly sharp handle "bottoms".
>>737662375And you would overpay for it like a wigger in heat.
>>737662417Well it's probably going to make you feel double retarded, but it's also specified for the stick module replacements they were having an issue with customs snipping the connectors if they were attached.>I can give the older stuff a pass when everyone was doing their own thingFun fact, if you take a pair of DS4 tmr thumbsticks, and swap the modules around to make one compatible with the old steam controller.You end up with one compatible with the 2013 steam controller and a DS5 stick module.
>>737652268Your dumb PC that you need to use the controller cost more. You can’t win.
>>737662589That or might have been the pinout for xbox series compatible tmr sticks, it's been a while since I checked.
>>737662589>but it's also specified for the stick module replacements they were having an issue with customs snipping the connectors if they were attached.Kek what the fuck. Does "they" refer to Valve here?
>all the retards saying HURRR poorYou do realize companies that are worth 50000000000 times what you make are the ones charging you that price? For them your 100 isn't a nothing amount if they played by your retarded logic they would be giving this shit away for free and they clearly don't. Fucking retards.
>>737662580You're overpaying with console controllersThey're pure shitware
>>737662746They as in gulikit and other tmr stick providers. Actual Valve replacement ones (typically from ifixit) aren't.
>>737662760>The Goys reaction image
>>737662637It cost more because it performs better, yesConsoles have no value proposition anymore
>>737662559>Dualsense feels like more of a toy than even the Nintendo stuff because it's so focused on being smooth and clean yet having oddly sharp handle "bottoms".That is such an oddly specific and frankly autistic criteria something being more like a toy. Meanwhile the dogshit pro has tiny babby sticks, an impressively terrible d-pad (that is also in the wrong location), no analog triggers, and mediocre buttons.
>>737662760anon the people saying poor are either 3rd worlders or childless chudsAnyone with a sense of money would not buy this overpriced cheap plastic scam.
>>737662939High functioning autist so yeah, I don't have a Switch 2 Pro so I can't say shit on that at least. Went through Xbox Elites and their adhesive grips wore off in half a year each, too. Frankly I think all the main publisher controllers are scams unless you're a modder.
>>737652106Name a cheaper controller with TMR sticks, faggot.Remonder that Tendies are paying $90 for stick-drift
>>737662849Did they ever say why customs was doing that to their products? By "why" I mean the reasoning customs gave Gulikit, if they even bothered.
>>737652106>$100Sounds good, when can I get one?
>>737663048nta but the gamesir cyclone 2 costs 60 but it has no trackpacks(duh) and 2 fewer back buttons
>>737663048>Name a cheaper controller with TMR sticks, faggot.
>>737663048that is actually insane. they're selling what is essentially a 30 dollar controller for 3 times the price
>>737663049I don't remember, but it's entirely within the confines of retardation levels of customs I've dealt with importing shit like opening up a Vita memory stick I got and trying to shove it in a phone or a computers or something since the plastic case was bent. (unrelated, but don't get a Vita they're a huge pain in the ass, and not going with slidepads was a retarded decision on Sony's part).
>>737663132Good morning gamesir. looks like a pretty nice xbone controller
>>737663206>unrelated, but don't get a VitaToo late I already have 4
>>737663184>He's too poor to pay $90 for a Happymeal toy
>>737663314kek
>>737652106The trackpads on the Steam Deck are annoying and I frequently bump them when using the other buttons and sticks. I doubt these are any better.
>>737663245I'm still wearing mine in from Christmas, pretty resistant sticks that require a little more effort to push than normal yet are really sensitive without tuning it. But no real qualms so far besides the usual 3 foot USB-C cable.
>>737663132i honestly can't get one of those just because of the name
>>737663454it it means anything to you it's like, chinese trying to sound cool in that engrish way rather than the saar memes
>>737663383Nice. Personally, I like a little bit of extra tension. The 2022 Steam Deck sticks were like that and I love them. 3rd party controllers from Gamesir, Gulikit, Retrobit, 8bitdo, etc put Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft to absolute shame these days.
>>737663454i get you, i'm the same way. i've had 2 friends vouch for their controllers and say they're good but i can't take the company seriously. i'll buy overpriced first party controllers instead.
why do tendies keep shilling this shitty controller if it costs $89 then? lmao
>>737652106Are back paddles freely remappable or can only function as other buttons?
I use my OG steam controller as my dekstop daily driver. Right thumb touchpad enables gyro, and thats how i move the mouse
>>737663761I don't know why they'd be shilling it when one look at the components show that it's one of the worst controllers on the market. Instead of shilling it, they should be embarrassed that it exists.
>>737663871You can do anything you want with them. Just open up Steam controller settings on any controller you have right now. Anything you can do in there can be assigned to the back buttons.
>>737663761>>737663978They don't look at the components. They just hear "it drifts less than switch 1 controllers/joycons" and eat it up.
>>737663871You can get them to be button, modifyers, toggles ect. They're even touch sensitive, so you can map touching them to things too.
>>737654319>>switch 2 games are 100 dollarswhere do people keep getting this shit fromthe most expensive games are $80, with others at $70 and $60 and yet I keep seeing snoys parroting "$90 games" over and over
>>737663761I bought one because of their shilling, thinking I'd return it if it sucked and it's pretty good. Feels great in hand even though it's a bit small and the battery life gets about 40 hours which is nice. The sticks never touch the sides which is part of the reason why it feels so good and I expect more third party controllers to copy that.The hand feel REALLY carries it but it's a ymmv thing, I have a friend who can't use it because it hurts his hands. I think it's great but $90 is way too fucking much, a major of the reason I kept it is because I like using the controllers that games are designed for. If you're not autistic about that then a 1/2 price GameSir or 8Bit do with Hall Effect or TMR sticks is probably better. At a $10 difference, I'm pretty sure the Steam controller will be way better too.
That controller is going to carry the steambox
>$99 for a controller that will last you foreverle bad...>$75 for a controller you have to buy a replacement yearly because of stick driftLE GOOD!!!
Wow what a disaster and I was thinking the 79 dollar price leak was bad enoughValve isnt rich enough that they HAVE to have those kind of profit margins?No way this costs more than 15 bucks to produce
>>737664268I don't know I think it'd probably damage the controller if you set the gabecube on it.
>>737664295I've had my DS4 for like 7 years now, no stick driftSame with my switch 1 joycons; launch pair drifted after about 1 year, but the replacement has been working fine since thenmaybe stop manhandling your controllers, jamal
>>737654108Stop projecting Timmy
>>737664295>implying I'm going to pay $75 for a controller unless it's something like a nice arcade stick or racing wheelThe new Steam controller looks badass, much better than the shitty $75 controllers you're referring to, but I'm still not paying $100. I'll grab it if it ever goes on a good sale tho.
>>737664804what kind of jew is named timmy?
>>737664667Hey, DS4 is cheating; it was after 2017 that everything went to absolute fucking dogshit for first party.
>>737652106>backbuttons>touchpads>TMR sticks>gyroIf this had a Sony logo on the front and was marketed to you as a "Dualsense Pro Elite Plus" you wouldn't have an problem with it whatsoever even if it was priced at double the cost.
>>737663513>chinese trying to sound cool in that engrish wayThey should look at how japan does it then
>>737652106>shitty d-pad>membrane face buttons>wonk ass layout>charging that priceJust as bad as Ninty, and the worst part is that Ninty, xbox, shitny and steam all use chinesium anyway, so why not just get chinesium controllers for half the price with some actual HE or TMR sticks, clicky face buttons and extra buttons on the back/shoulders?Brand loyalty consoomer subhumans are so weird.
>>737665027The DS4 was surprisingly great. Even when I sold my PS4 during the start of their gay censorship arc, I kept the controller and used it for PC. Legitimately ran that thing into the ground with years of heavy use before I moved on, it was awesome. The DS5 (no I'm not using that meme name they gave it) looks really fat and lame in comparison.
>>737662637Run that one through google translaye one more time, rakshit.
>>737652106I want the VR controllers it's actually a fucking 100% improvement to any current VR controller. Who the fuck needs this crap KBM is the better input method 99% of the time
This thing will probably be good but I hope people don't buy it. If Valve is going to get into hardware they should make it affordable. They have no shareholders to please and Steam is basically a money printer. Fatman yacht man should give his users a good deal.
>>737652695Why don't you have one? They were blowing them out for for $5 at the end?
>>737665297>If Valve is going to get into hardware they should make it affordable.If this is gonna be a high end controller then 100 is definitely on the more afforable end. If its roughly the same in terms of quality as a ninten/xb controller then its overpriced, even with the additions to the control scheme
>>737657582Platform holders make money on accessories. Compare those to something from 8bitdo or Gamesir if you want to know what the actual material cost is.
>>737664225It comes from>it's $100 in my canadian/australian monopoly money, but i'll leave that part out and just say dollars so people think it's USD
>>737665686>Compare those to something from 8bitdo or GamesirHow much do their trackpad controllers cost?
>>737652106mite still cop
>>737652106When considering the absolute state of gamepads today with stick drift out the ass, something that would actually last a long time sounds promising.
Price is fine if it's good, the question is, how good is it really?
Where is the controller already????
BASED!It wouldn't be called PC Master Race if we didn't walled poorfags enough
>no speaker>no microphone>no adaptive triggers>$99l m a o
>>737666390>no speaker>no microphoneWhy the fuck would you want that in a controller, it's going to be shit anyways because there's no room for audio
>>737666542So my dualsense can run out of battery in under 60 minutes so I can go back to masturbating
>>737652106>symmetrical sticksI hate it. Why, Valve, why?
its funny that i got a 8bitdo ultimate for like 30$ with charge station TMR sticks hall effects back buttons all that jazz and this shit is 100$. watching shills and valvetards defend this is funny to see
my $40 8bitdo still works
Crazy how you can get a good chink controller for $20 and Valve comes out with a $100 controller. Funny thing is their cultists will buy it too.
All the people comparing this to first party controllers are either ignorant or disingenuous.Dualsense, Xbox series controllers, and Switch pro controllers have all been left in the dust by chink companies selling Hall Effect/TMR sensors, with back buttons for less than 50 USD with better/comparable build quality than first parties, these are the Steam Controller's competition.
very good price if the trackpads are actually game changing this timethey should do a 200-250 one with better material if the tech is good, the original controllers plastic feels hella cheap
Nobody is forcing you to buy the Steam Controller 2.
im going to laugh at everyone of you valvetards
>>737667169>8bitdo ultimateYour gay little controller not only looks like a toy, but it's also missing:Touch-sensitive sticksTouchpadsOne set of rear buttonsGyro that works outside bing bing wahoo modeNot being a toy that breaks in two months>Wow my basic controller is cheaper!!!
>>737668321everything you listed sounds gay as fuck especially the touch sensitive what a beta bitch of a controller

>>737668428>gets BTFO>N-NO THAT''S GAYI accept your concession
>>737668819you brought up gay and i made a joke about the controller being sensitive thus being beta gay i think you got BTFO'd way more so because you didnt even get the joke to begin with
>>737668664>Dont ask questions, just consoom brand!good goy
>>737652106>this makes tendies and browns seethe uncontrollably
>>737652106That's what a PS5 controller can cost in Leafland. If you promise me a controller I won't have to replace twice in a console gen due to stick drift sign me up.
>>737652695that 'd-pad' looks atrocious, like pulling off a hadouken would be a challenge with that thing
>>737668950>it's bad because... because I say so!Not interested
>>737663048>cheaper controller with TMR sticksJust got this bad boy for 50 bucks, has extra buttons on top and a perfect SNES D-pad, also comes with a great dock that auto-turns off when done charging and connects and disconnects the controller when picked up and put down.
>>737669642The d-pad is worthless in that location.
>>737669782How so? The Xbox analog placement is inherently superior for how close your hand stays to the top buttons and because I don't want my thumbs kissing every time I turn the character and the camera it's also way more comfortable for the d-pad because you can hold the controller lower with a more relaxed grip. If I need to use the d-pad at the same time I'm using the analog, which thankfully doesn't happen much, I just map the necessary d-pad buttons to the paddles or the extra buttons on top or claw it like everyone else
>>737670226Asymatric layouts are inherently garbage for 2D games. Shooters too. They're only good for action games and platformers.
>>737669642>Just got this bad boy for 50 bucks,where?
>>737670362I feel like there's some skill issue involved here since I've been playing 2D games and shooters perfectly fine with controllers that have asymmetric layouts for a decade now but I guess it's up to preference.>>737670434AliExpress I'm not American so I don't know if you guys can still buy stuff for cheap cuz tariffs and all
>pcgamer thread
>>737652695I want the version with the face buttons in the corners of the right trackpad
>>737669304Its not meant to be used as a main input dpad. That's what the trackpad is for.
>>737665317That's not the release version.
>>737661616I prefer trackpads to sticks.
>>737660243I think Steam Machine will be $900 max.
>es pro has everything but trackpads and extra buttons for $30You're prime goycattle if you fall for the steam jew.
>>737665065Sony would never use TMR sticks because that would be pro consumer.
>>737653402Based from these threads, apparently controller war is a thing lol.
>>737653402Because the $200 controllers are for console cucks. PC has always had $30 controllers that work just as good.
>>737652106sudently "stop being poor" do not aply when it's not about non console stuf/console games prices
>>737676979Really makes you think.......
>>737668664>This is now 99% of this board's contentThen perhaps you should quit using your shill tactics here. Appealing to reputation or wealth level on 4chan is a really retarded thing to do.
>>737674275Most controller wars on /v/ are basically some teenager in South America shrieking that you're a tranny if you buy 8bitdo and some other teenager shrieking about the Logitech F310 being the basedest controller ever, optionally because of the submarine event
how likely are scalpers going to buy all of the early stock and sell for $350?
there's a lot of high-end controllers with $100+ pricetags thoughonly fragile, small controllers made for 6 year old japanese boy hands are cheap. (they're also total garbage that adult hands break in before a sudden epiphany that Playstation and Nintendo is for kids and Japanese expect you to stop playing them once your age is double-digit)
>>737652106don't worrry it will be $5 on clearance in a few years
>>737678150Not likely at all, Valve actively combatted scalpers for the Steamer Dick
>>737670661its 50 amazon snagged it
>>737652106bro who the fuck cares, WHERE IS THE STEAM FRAME
>>737652106That's cheap for what it is
In any game where you need precise mouse control you're still going to do much better with a $20 mouse + keyboard combo than this $100 gimmick
>>737679221the control scheme is designed as a "good enough" compromise for not having a KB/M
>>737679248>pay several times more for a "good enough compromise"no thanks, add it to the pile of valve's failed hardware
>>737679302what failed hardware? steam link still gets updates even though it was deprecated in favor of an app
>>737679248When do people ever have a PC and not have a KB/M?
>>737679372every hardware steam has released is a failurethis is not the first steam controller flopping, and the steam deck already got discontinued after only selling 4 million, couldn't even reach half of the ps vita sales and that was already a failure
>>737679440steam deck, idiotalso dedicated living-room PCs as emulator boxes and shit like that
>>737679460Steam Deck already has the controller built in...
>>737679457PS Vita wasn't mail order only and the first Steam Controller got patent trolled out of existence (Valve won later btw)
>>737679440It's literally the same case as these infomercials making up problems to sell a "solution" no one asked forthat's how desperate valve is
>>737652106Seems reasonable?
>>737679491excuses don't salvage failures
>>737679372hasn't there been like 3 different steam controllers? multiple 'VR' headsets that nobody even wanted. probably 2 different steamdecks. i'm glad they're trying but i'm pretty sure everyone just wants valve to make source 2 games and be a storefront. they need to stop with this stupid console bullshit
>>737655391Frame should be cheaper than Index
The biggest thing this controller has going for it is that it's the best option for couch pc gamers.
I wish it had dual 6 axis gyro like the alpakka or the upcoming tarantuala pro, I'm worried about the dpad too. unsure how useful the touchpads will be but im curious. Overall still quite interested
>>737679641couch pc gamers already have controllers and they're not going to spend $100 on another one for a gimmick they'll never use
>>737679641>that it's the best option for couch pc gamers.lmao
>>737679732I'm fully intending to buy this GOAT tier controller.
has anyone tried gaming with a keyboard and a trackpad?
>>737679746What's a better option?
>>737679754you're a fat shill, not the average person this shit is trying to appeal to
>>737662637try yo learn basic english before posting
>>737679842>NO, YOU CAN'T LIKE THIS PRODUCT, IT'S NOT POSSIBLEBro it looks like a good controller at an ok price. I'm using an 8bitdo at the moment.
>>737679808Any other controller.Hell an official Xbox Series controller is better.
>>737652106>100 dolols for a controller that likely doesn't have 100 dolel controller featuresWhat did gape ben mean by this?
>>737679808Do you not know that PC's can use any controller?
>>737679879What happens when you wanna play a game without controller support? That's the entire point of the trackpads.
>>737679945What games don't support controllers these days?
>>737679945Then it's clearly not a couch game.
>>737652106dont care i will still bought it
>>737668321Funnily enough it has full gyro and extended button support nowthrough steam input.
>>7376696428bitdo ultimate is genuinely shit. Love the design and feel but triggers are built to fail
>>737679970New releases? Rare that they don't have controller support sure. Older RTS games for example comes to mind.If you want to get the most out of the entire Steam library as a couch PC gamer, this is the obvious choice.I still don't personally believe that it justifies the price, but that would be the appeal to me. Especially paired with the Steam Machine.
I have the GameSir Cyclone 2 and the GuliKit ES Pro and I would recommend both desu.
>>737680231>RTSMajority of people will switch to KB/M as its the superior option here.
>>737652106Will probably buy. Most other 3rd party controllers I tried have been shit. 8bitdo ultimate, gamesaar nova 2. Need a good one
>>737680293This. Having actually played rts on steam deck with touch pads, its clunky at best even after hours of tinkering and getting used to it.
>>737680209Sadly the only real glaring flaw. If you use the controller with the digital/hair trigger mode they straight up will break by becoming mushy after a couple weeks be warned. They seem to have settled into a maximum level of mushiness on mine but it's almost to the point where they feel more like half trigger. If all you want is analogue triggers and you won't use the feature go for it, good ctronoller otherwise.
>>737680435The newer version seem to have resolved the issue where the analog triggers were built to cut through the rubber pad and fuck the triggers, but 8bitdo have now introduced a new issue with the hair triggers. Bravo. I had the same issue with gamesaar shit.
>>737680493Oh? What exactly is the issue with the hair triggers now?
I have no issue paying $100 for a controller if it's durable enough to last me a decade, and/or has replacement parts available in an official capacity.This is after having to have gone through at least 2-3 of both DualShock 4 & DualSense due to their shitty drift issue or deteriorating membranes, with a weak-ass ribbon cable that also needs replacing if you open the controller up more than twice.
>>737680603I was referring to the one you mentioned with them getting mushy after a few weeks. No idea why these companies can't just make a controller that works well long term. I'd pay a good price for an 8bitdo ult that doesnt break from normal use.
Does everyone understand that without steam running, this controller is useless? And if your game isn't purchased through steam, you'll have to work hard to get this controller to work, to the point where it won't work in some non-steam games.
>>737681206It supports xinput, Microsoft's official controller API that almost any game that supports controllers would use, and does it without Steam running, so this is literally just straight up false.
>>737681303>It supports xinputSource? Old steam controller is just random buttons on the keyboard and is useless without steam, the same thing applies to steam deck.
>>737681303If it supported xinput natively, it'd have been somewhere on its spec sheet.
>>737659763microsoft provides a very crappy recaliberation that should never be done, and ironically steam also provides caliberation and deadzone setting you can do via its api, allowing you to get even more use of your "dead" controllers. I've worn out several analog stick coverings on multiple xbox controllers and have never encountered stick drift. by the time you run into stick drift you should be replacing your controllers already. microsoft xbox controllers are borderline logitech nintendium tier, and even logitech runs into phantom click issues eventually even with cleaning. no hardware lasts forever, idk why you are chalking it up to the extent of buying $100 usd controllers. what are you going to do when they come up with the second controller version with superior features? buy another $100 controller? yes I support this I need my controller with dual hockey pads that borderline ps vita!!! kek Icant they make nintendo look like some kind of innovation gods of being able to turn their controllers into a crappy mouse.
>>737653402frankly anyone who spends $50+ on a controller is a mug, but the steam one is arguably the best in terms of features and presumed build quality for its price.
>>737652106How is that bad?
I don't think most of you understand why this is hilarious. If the controller is 100$ and overpriced, what exactly do you think they're going to do with the Gabe cube?
>>737681843The fact is that you can buy chink controller that will be of better quality for three times less.
>>737681892The Gabe Cube will be $1000+. The price wouldn't be an issue if it was a high-end system but it's weaker than the PS5.
>>737682187It's half the size of the PS5, it was always going to be weaker for a sane price point.
>>737681769no controller should exceed the average price of a video game and that isn't 100 dollars, let alone the average price of a steam game. for something accompanying the steam cube which is not upgradable in many aspects and is supposed to be an entry level room gaming pc this sure is the most pretentious shit in recent history on a console that has to run FSR. it will definitely be brought down in price but they evidently have no idea what entry level is. this is some stadia level shit.
>>737684837steam controller isn't entry levelread the specs sheet you dunning kruger moron, what they offer more than commands the $30 premium and $10 premium over what snoy and nintendo charge for their ewaste
>>737681924show me one and show me rewvies
>>737684837>no controller should exceed the average price of a video gameWhat is this retarded rule you just pulled out of your ass?If you don't want to use it just don't buy it, nobody is forcing you and nobody cares what you think things should costI haven't paid $60 or $70 or $80 for a game in a long time, so according to your bullshit, every gamepad is too expensive since xbox pads cost $50 and and ps5 pads cost $80 But we both know you are just here to waste your own and everybody else's time, so take your (You) and fuck off Retard
I don't understand, is $100 a lot? My mouse was $180 and my keyboard was $300.
>>737686045sounds like you overpaidmy paw3950 mouse was 70 bongs and my tmr keyboard was 100 bongs
>>737686045seems to be some console warrior astroturf campaign
>>737652106>Jewish CEO has Jewish practiceswtf did you all expect for real???
>>737686203do you think it's valve employees that give a shit about community hubs?
>>737686045It's a lot for an entry level controller, the equivalent of a mouse that comes free with a prebuilt pc. But the steam controller is the equivalent of a gamer mouse.
>>737681303it does not support xinput you lying nigger
>>737686347it's the equivalent of a mouse with the best sensor you can get
>>737686108Mine is in dollarydoos but it's still more than the controller, but only like half a days work.I think /v/ must have a lot of Brazilians.

>>737652106100 Dollars for a controller with such features is OKishBut more than 10x that for a stupid meta quest 3 pro Valve TM ? no...fuck them, i hoped for 700-800 MAX not fucking 1100 dollars
>>737686347the steamdeck is an enthusiast machine and this "entry level controller" is selling the guts of it as a controller for $100. just how low can they and their defenders get?
angry poorfag thread
>>737686750funny to see console controller ewaste defenders like you coming out of the woodwork and showing how little they understand about controllersnewsflash idiot, this things stomps the planned obsolescence shit controllers ship with and makes them look like decoy products
>>737686875>planned obsolescenceHate to break it to you Anon but the steam controller has a built in battery
>>737687042then replace it or use it wired?
>>737686875>this things stomps the planned obsolescence shitvalve QC on their previous controller and the valve index were genuinely the worst built consumer products Ive ever held in my handsthe controller was built like an actual unironic toy and ask anyone with a valve index and they have had to RMA different parts of it multiple times because it keeps falling apartI dont have a steam deck so I cant vouch for its QC but I do not believe this new controller is built acceptably until it is actually proven otherwise
>>737654635Show me a $50 chinkshit controller that has trackpads, capacitive sticks, capacitive grips and 4 back buttons that can be mapped in Steam input.
>>737655581shut up tyrone
>>737652106I just hope we get programmable trackpad areas and motions (i.e. splitting the trackpad into multiple keys, or making certain swipes count as specific keypresses)it would make way more games playable on controller
>>737687424give it one yearchinese will democratize the design probably
>>737652106idc, im not a broke nigga and the controller is gonna top the dualsense i use.>>737652187its so easy to replace parts on the deck, it takes about 2 minutes tops with a screwdriver and maybe some tweezers.
>>737655581>doesn't feel like a toyMaybe, but in terms of features it IS a toy compared to the Steam controller. I don't know about you snoytards but over here in PCland we care more about playing games than how the controller feels when shoved up your ass.
>>737655843I'll be a happy man if the SC becomes standard, even if that also means the $100 price does. That's more than fair for a controller with this featureset, especially when it's designed to actually last instead of drifting and being replaced in a year.
>>737686556tomorrow 10AM PT just when the steam fest endstrust the plan
>>737686875funny how you talk about ewaste and the old steam controller is already a nightmare to easily repair with four proprietary screws and THREE under sticker screws and batteries put on each side of the controller. meanwhile the xbox controller can have its sides shuckled like an oyster with four screws, two AA batteries or a battery pack upfront and ONE understicker screw you can definitively poke through the sticker for. what the fuck gaben?
>>737652106PLEASE JUST ONE FUCKING CONTROLLERJUST ONE WITH AN ACTUALLY GOOD FUCKING DPAD
>>737689282best we can do is mushy peas
>>737689170look, i know you want to be upset but you should at least verify if your preemptive seethe is merited you can literally see the screw holes right there
No Gaben, pls no! I don't want another dead hardware for 1000+ dollars to pretend VR is alive
>>737689396so it now has a built in battery with a fixed lifespan? I could get two, three xbox controllers and I wouldn't have to wait to take them from flat to wireless and keep spares around. this hundred dollar controller is a nightmare of ewaste.
Xbox is still the king of PC controllers baby
I get a controller with whatever console I have and just use that for everything.I still have my Dualshock 4 that I got in 2019 that still works fine, but I just use my Dualsense because its better. Never buying a controller separately, such a waste of money
>>737689367I actually prefer mushy dpads like the SNES one
>>737691963clean your controllers you filthy animal
>>737691679More like the biggest piece of shit holding back gaming.
>>737692543Owl the typa guy to preorder a steam controller
>>737691963Don't really want to buy a PS5 but might get a Dualsense on its own to use as a PC controller because it seems good and I like the Playstation layout.
>>737692483It is my God given right to live in dust and clutter, I refuse
>>737691196>so it now has a built in battery with a fixed lifespan?as opposed to sticks with fixed lifespan?the worst that'll happen is that the battery lifespan will be reduced to 30 hours down from 40oh the fucking horror, something that doesn't functionally impact the controller like drifting sticks and can be reversed with a 10 minute procedure
>>737691679>cost $120+ if you want to go wireless
>>737687424>Back buttons mappable in steam inputYeah that part killed my enthusiasm for my 8bitdo controller. It's a decent controller but I got it with back buttons thinking I'd be able to configure them in steam input, or at least with some sort of software. Unfortunately that's not the case, it can be only set to controller inputs through the 8bitdo software. If they were mappable with steam input I probably would not be as interested in the steam controller.
>>737694342Set your controller to Dinput and you should be able to do that, Steam Input added full support for 8bitdo controllers some time ago. I don't remember which of the 8bitdo controllers can still use 2.4ghz receivers over Dinput but that's worth checking into, I know the 8bitdo Pro 3 can't for example.
