The price tag.
>>
>>737668559
it's for people who get super autistic about setting up custom control schemes, or for controller gaming diehards. The touchpads are not as quite as good as a mouse but still much better than stick for fps. Others allege that pad+gyro rival mouse aim but I'm skeptical. If you've ever held a controller in your left hand and aimed holding a mouse in your right hand, this controller would make sense

I'm not sure what you mean, maybe you need to turn up the sensitivity. You can lower the "friction" to let the mouse continue moving after you flick it like a trackball, but I don't prefer that, instead I turn up the sensitivity

>>737669204
Yes. It can sense when your touching different parts of it too.

You can turn 180 in a split second, you can even turn 360 in one motion of you need to. On a stick you have to hold it and wait.

>>737668339
Tendies, steamies, and snoys are three sides of the same coin.

>>737669686
If you can turn 180 in a split second then the sensitivity is so high that it's now near useless to actually aim with.

It's really useful in the inevitable situation where you will need to use a mouse in some kind of menu or setting or whatever.

Hence why the original steam controller was the only other viable alternative, and why there's a demand for this. You have access to trackpads for accuracy, and snappy radial menus for keybinds. Only controller that allowed me to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R without a mouse and keyboard.

No reason to get this when the GameSir Cyclone 2 exists.

Has all the features of this shitty controller with the correct layout.
Except trackpads, which you don’t fucking need for anything if you’re gaming on PC as you’ll switch to mouse and keyboard anyways.
For like a fraction of the price too.
Plus proper xinput so everything just werks in any game and you never have to bother with shitty steam input.

OG was worth
my only concern here are the buttons
Worst part of the original was mush face buttons.
Worse still, I have had membranes on all modern controllers failing with frustrating consistency.
If it were cheap I wouldn't give a shit.
But valve also did right and replaced my existing Steam controller when the membranes failed because they weren't selling or offering replacement parts.
Between that, and the overlay controller API allowing wild customization I still had two functional controllers, game depending.

Read: If the quality is better than competitor 'elite' products, it is absolutely worth the price. TMR sticks are a good start, but not where I experienced any point of failure. So it's not saying much.
Valve QA is where the value is, aside from more features than all competitors.

With a mouse and keyboard as those games are better for mouse and keyboard considering they are designed for that and not controllers. You dumb fucking console ingrate. You’re on PC, if you play a RTS then Mouse and Keyboard will be superior in every way.
If you’re playing a fucking action game like Batman Arkham Knight then yes a controller is good. You fucking retarded low iq fags think you have to use a controller for everything, but you’re on PC you get the option to chose.

It is annoying that people pretend like controllers got more expensive just because the producers are being jews. First of all, prices automatically went up just from the shift to wireless. You need a Bluetooth adapter and a battery, so a 25 dollar controller is now 40. Then you add in HD rumble instead of shitty old rumble and it's 50. Now you got gyro and it's 60. Improve the button/stick quality and it's 70. If you want cheaper controllers then features have to go.
>>

If you want to use gyro, extra buttons, trackpad you will have to use steam input.

>I haven't played games that wouldn't work with a normal controller
Great, retards. How is your imagination so bad?
>>
>>737668039
It's a lot closer in features to the $200 premium controllers than it is to the $60 standard controllers, so it should be fine.
>>
>>737668039
Highly depends on the build quality. If its a sturdy controller that won't drift within a year like both the DS5 and the XSX controllers I bought then I'll consider it.

barely.
but yes. I setup a mostly functional wow bind for the original using 'Console Port' addon. Used more of the overlay menus than the addon layout.
But I will never go to the trouble again.
There's far too much customization necessary, and it all will vary heavily by class and build, and just fuck all of that. If you're a single build single class player, it will be fine. But if you're that sort of gamer you also probably don't give enough of a shit to go to all of the trouble.

Of course, this is all irrelevant concerning Retail and one-button-rotations. Forget everything and just have some of your novel cooldowns on other buttons while you mash A.
>>
>>737671673
thanks for the speedy reply anon. i'm more of a multi-spec one class type of player since I'm a stupid loser. just wanted to use a controller for something, mmos make sense once you set up some action cam to rotate character and the camera at the same time but the keybinds might be a bastard.

>>
>>737668039

>>
>>737671754
If you're on retail, just go for it and eat the one-button-rotation tax. Outside of mythics who cares, and even in them, the degree you will be able to simply pay attention to mechanics will still carry for a while longer.
Just run dailies or something for a few weeks until you get a feel for things. It's not THAT bad. But it will still take a lot of configuration you might not like.
What killed it for me is hotkeys needed for Console Ports' action bars differ from keyboard, so there was no easy back-and-forth. Either you deal with one interface or the other being in a sort of 'clumsy' state with inputs being on inconvenient keys/buttons.

Hall effect and TMR are chink gimmicks and don't actually do anything. The sticks will still drift because the cheap plastic housing and shitty solder connections will still fail. Tons of TMR 8bitdo and gamesaars drift
>>
>>737668087
It unironically makes fps games competitive through a controller. the Touchpad has a "track ball" mode, that lets you flick the pad to aim. This along with gyro aiming is almost cheating when it comes to competitive fps.

You have footage to back this up I assume?

Any news on whether it will work without the Steam client? No way in hell I'm buying a controller if it requires running extra software in the background.

Yes its a fucking controller :D have you ever played any game in your life? Or just retarded?
>>
>>737676675
Yeah, there’s another way around it, but it requires more effort. You know, like the old times with manual XInput.
>>
>>737668039
It has backpaddles and touch pads, that slots it directly into the premium controller market.
The Xbox Elite Series 2 with backpaddles stick tension adjustment is $199.99 MSRP
The PS5 controller with backpaddles and hall effect sticks is $199.99
If anything, the Steam controller is significantly low priced for its market competition.

>>737668039
Why would you buy this from a third party (who will obviously overcharge to get a profit margin) instead of directly from Steam.

>>737668087
the only game i can think of if they even impement controller to mouse and keyboard swap is Path of exile, controller for gameplay them touchpad for inventory management but im not pay 100 fucking dollars when i play on kbm to begin with when its superior and GGG probably wont even implement it to begin with

Kek, it's fucking true and you fags know it. If I'm on PC and the game is made for mouse and keyboard then I use mouse and keyboard, if it isn't then I use a normal controller. But of course this nuance gets lost on the drooling retards populating /v/ because anything that's not black and white thinking unacceptable.
>>
>>737682419
I own a PC and a deck though, aiming with the trackpad is a meme.
>>
>>737682494
That I can agree with. What makes aiming so good on this is enabling gyro by touch.
The touchpads are nice to have for certain PC games and to control the PC in general. They don't get in the way and are there when you need them.
>>
>>737668087
fpbp

Right now I'm using a dualsense mainly because the gyro and touch screen come in handy sometimes
>>
>>737668576
what in the fuck
>>
>>737682584
I just use the touchscreen when I'm on desktop mode. And if I have to play a game that has to constantly browse menus with a mouse, I'll use a mouse instead because you will literally constantly be scratching on your trackpad like a chicken looking for corn.
>>
>>737682819

You may want to play them on your coach rather than at your desk. A controller is more convenient in a coach than mouse and keyboard is. To be able to play those games properly, your controller must be able to emulate mouse+keyboard.

Why is it DOA?
It's better than the 'Pro' controllers of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.
Only Nintendo's is cheaper.
None of the big 3 have TMR sticks, Valve does. None of the others have hall effect triggers, Valve does.
It has Gyro, as do Sony and Nintendo but not MS.
It has 'HD Rumble' as does Nintendo but not Sony or MS.
Even without the trackpads it's literally a better controller than all 3 consoles 'pro' version.

However-
Microsoft has rumble on their triggers since Xbox One which this doesn't replicate.
Sony has their Adaptive Triggers which have rumble and resistance since PS5, which this doesn't replicate.
Nintendo has their bullshit Amiibo NFC reader, which this doesn't replicate.

8/10 I'd buy a Gulikit ESPro instead.

The games I like requires mouse and keyboard. I want to play them from the coach, without the hassle of using a mouse and a keyboard from the coach.
The GameSir Cyclone 2 looks completely useless for my use case. I will change my mind if it has mouse and keyboard emulation, like the Steam Controller's trackpads.

>people are actually getting mad at the price
I guess that confirms that valvetards are the only fambase with actual standards. I am pretty sure tendies are paying the exact same price for shitch 2 driftcons and snoyggers are shilling a fucking $200 controller.

Wake me up once goodmorningamesir or 8bitdo release a gyro controller with trackpads.

How do the Xbox trigger fair? I have already had two ps5 controllers with fail triggers that have slipped the form gear. If they haven't failed they have gotten softer over time. The tech just isn't designed to last.

I want the steam controller to do just 1 (one) thing: have an option to FORCE playstation button prompts when playing steam games. I have xbox/shitch button prompts fatigue and I hate having to mod the dualshock buttons into most games that I play since most games lack that button type option in the settings.
So, does it have that feature or is just an overpriced scam?
Or if there's a tool that turns xinput controllers into dualshock ones WITHOUT breaking or changing anything xinput related, then I will take it too.
>>
>>737668087
this
the steam controller is a cool thing, for the steam machine, or for a living room pc you already have hooked on your tv
but if you already have a living room pc hooked on your pc, you 99% already have a controller and likely a wireless kb+mouse(or one of those small kb+touchpad combo), and if you have a steam machine....well, it comes with the steam controller.

the steam controller as a standalone product makes no sense, if not to replace an already owned one if it breaks or something

There are PC games that have built in dualshock button prompts but are only able to be activated if you are using a snoy controller. I want the steam controller to trick the game into thinking that it's a snoy controller without fucking up anything. That would justify the price for me because just like how I've said, I'm fucking tired of installing mods to remove the fucking xbox prompts. I have no idea where the Y button is anymore thanks to being a shitchfag last gen.

Is it THAT fucking hard to just have a setting in the steam input setting that is: have controller be recognized as a [xbox] [playstation] [shitendo] controller?

Valve won't even allow you to emulate xinput with the original controller or the steam deck and you expect them to give you playstation emulation too. Your best bet is to wait for the inevitable 8bitdo ripoff or just get a dualsense.
>>
>>737688398
Yes, it is that hard. I don't get Playstation prompts with my Playstation controller because Steam is already tricking the game into thinking it is an Xbox controller unless a game's developer built in native support for Steam Input for Playstation controllers. The feature you want would end up breaking all of the other features of Steam Input. I completely get why you want this and I want it too, but we are at the mercy of developers having the sense to let you choose your button prompts at the moment.

Why not put a keyboard in the middle instead?

Why do game controller conversations always get dominated by dumb faggots screeching “why would anyone use this????” in response to any form of innovation/alternative features (gyro, trackpad, etc).

The steam controller is a bigger gamble since it's far more expensive. Just look at the retards that bought the xbone and snoy elite controllers and had them either break or drift after only a little while.

Now kys valve cultist. I might just buy the controller second hand since I expect that a lot of faggots will be returning theirs since they'll be too retarded to make proper use of them, just like how it happened with the 'ick on 'eck.
