YOU VILL PAY $99 FOR THE STEAM CONTROLLER
>>737671569Yeah, I will, I'm not poor. $99 isn't that much of an expense for me.
If this is controller price then imagine gabecube price
>>737671569Gabe I thought we were bros...
Yes, I will. Find me another controller with the same features for a better price.
>>737671569Yep! I wanna play stuff like Farland Story on the couch with comfy mouse controls.
>>737671569look at the huge ugly panel gaps on this POS, looks bigger than the Xbox360 or even GameCube gaps in the plastic. horrendous build quality.
Poors vacate. That's how much premium controllers cost. Cheaper, in fact.
I can afford it but I shouldn't spend my money on shit like this because I want to save up for a down payment on a house and I have controllers that work perfectly fine.I'll probably end up buying one because I'm an impulsive retard.
>>737671569This will be my Steam Frame controller
>>737671569I don't care till steam store says it.
>>737671569I probably won't unless people are sucking this thing's dick when it comes out.but also who CARES about this, what about the steam frame???
>>737671569Maybe get a job? 3 hours of work can get you a controller?Why not get a job and bitch on 4chan? guess you enjoy your life like this huh?
>analog sticks are located towards the top middle area of the controller LMAO what absolute fucking retards. Using the stick must feel so fucking uncomfortable in your hands because of how fucking awkward and awful placement is.
>>737673335A PlayStation controller might be more your speed if you have tiny baby asian hands.
>>737671569fuck nintendo for making other companies get greedy too
Dualsense has a touchpad as well. I don't get the hype. Is it really just gargling gabe's cum everytime? Why do you do it?
>>737673454It's not Nintendo tard. Prices have risen because of inflation, tariffs and AI data centers. Nintendo was just the first to release a new product. We were all telling you back then that the others would do the same. The switch 2's prices are actually very low after accounting for inflation and tariffs.
>>737671569>>737671569Just buy an 8Bitdo Ultimate 2. Unless you really need the trackpads, this thing is a complete waste of money. Also the stick placement is retarded, much like the Steam Deck.
>>737671569>only 25 dollars more than something else"Did they really think this was such a justifiable reason that they could say it out loud?
When a company is somehow more jewish than Snoy, you know you're fucked. Gabe Newellsteinbergwitz.
>>737671569>work in stock have connection >get one for freeheh...
>>737671639Yeah, we know you're greedy
>>737673413PS controller is objectively the most favorable of all the game controllers out there. At least make a fucking argument in defense of that steam slop controller before going after a fundamentally superior controller.
>>737671569If you're going to have a big ass Absolute Batman brick, at least put a screen on it.
>>737672512It's crazy how absolute dogshit these controllers are too. The magnetic ub3r 1337 hax0r thumbsticks are so fucking heavy it has snapback so severe that it makes playing 2D shit and platformers impossible to play. I ended up swapping mine for a Gamesaar that was like a fifth of the price for PC and it works much better.
>>737673743All of the pro controllers are exactly the same. Using the same analog sticks made by the same company, the same buttons, the same everything. The differences are extremely minor.
>>737673668>only 25 more dollars than the vastly inferior shit lots of people use alreadyYes? How is it not? Are you going to pretend 90% of the controllers in the market are not Xbox and PS5 controllers?>b-b-b-but muh 8bitdoNo one gives a fuck about meme controllers like that.
>>737673710
I think I'll just buy another Dualshock 4 for 40 bucks. That controller is GOAT.
>>737673814No it isn't minor you fucking idiot. The analog sticks as well as ALL the other buttons are way too close to each other. It's fucking stupid to place the in the top middle area of the controller. It's hot garbage. It's OBJECTIVELY bad.
>costs more that ds5Ok, so buy a ds5, it's cheaper, got it :)
all they had to do was price it at $70 so people would never have any reason to buy any other controller, ever
I love how steam is making millions and millions yet cant take a small loss on a gamepad or a steam machine that will get reinbursed by the fact that the buyers will be forced to buy games from your platform (hint: steam gets a cut for each sold game)
>>737674151>>737674006Yeah Valve are ultra kikes. I'm done with their shit. They earn billions per day.
>>737673951:)
>>737673413>>737673335>>737673743GayStation controller is worse because they're so low and close together. If you notice, the sticks on the steam controller are close to the buttons and dpad. It's better ergonomics, unlike GayStation controllers.
>>737673335based on my use of steam deck, not really. pretty comfortable actually
>>737671569dreamcast and xbox duke bros we are so fucking back
>>737674723actually I take it back, I don'rt like that analog stick placement. that sucks. what a goddamn shame.
>>737671569I'm not sure I see the issue? It's basically in the extra features premium league like the PS5 pro controller and the Xbox elite. Those are like $200+
>>737671569I have paid more for platic model kits but i don't see why i should waste my coin on this.
>>737671569I will, yes. Curious to see how it is and if I don't like it I'll pawn it off to a friend who can use it. It's not like I don't have money to spend.
>>737674857What kits?
I mean, it's the only controller that can rival the dualsense edge, so of course I will. I only wish it had adaptive triggers and some way to have it natively emulate a ps controller (and an option to have it with playstation buttons) since I prefer their glyphs to xbox, then it'd be THE perfect controller
>>737675517but its not xbox glyphs, its nintendo
>>737672512that controller i the biggest piece of shit I've ever bought. Huge fucking scam
>>737671569I stay with my PS5 Pro controller, which I just got 2 weeks ago, might pick it up if it goes on sale or my controller kicks the bucket, whatever comes first, but what I wanna know is what the price is gonna be for the steam machine itself plus the controller package
>>737672512>tiny $0.02 piece of U-shaped chink plastic underneath the bumpers breaks through regular-ass use>renders your $130 controller basically unusablenothing personnel, goy
Steam controller uses Hall effect sticks.This alone will make the extra 25$ worth it in the long run.
>>737675989>Hall effect sticksWhat's that?
>>737676019Magnets
>>737671569>it's only 25 dollars moreNigger, I can buy a whole fucking controller for about 25 dollars, and it's even going to be decent.
>>737676185Did they ever fix the crooked sticks?
>>737675517>dualsense edgewhich is also $200 buckaroos
>>737676073sounds cool, how good are hall sticks when it comes to not getting stick drift
If you're gonna shell out for anything other than a wired 360 pad (still the best budget option) then this is the only option
>>737676281I just wish PS5 controllers had better battery life
>>737676279simply doesnt happen
>>737676337definitely the biggest problem. I get about 3-4 hours
>>737676228I bought this specific one, feel free to just ruin it for me.
>>737676228From my knowledge it wasn't a widespread issue and those who encountered it got replacements or refunds. Right now there shouldn't be any units with this problem.
>>737671569Yes I will, as long as you FUCKING LET ME BUY IT ALREADY GABEN YOU FAT OVERWEIGHT ROUND BULGING MASSIVE TOWERING SUBSTANCIAL LUMPISH INFLATED LARGE IMPOSING MOUNTAINOUS COLOSSAL PLUMP GINORMOUS HUGE MONOLITHIC WALLOPING CYCLOPEAN MEATY CORPULENT MONUMENTAL HULKING BOUNDLESS LEVIATHAN BLUBBERY HUMONGOUS VAST GIGANTESQUE OBESE IMMEASURABLE MONSTROUS VOLUMINOUS IMMENSE PUDGY ELEPHANTINE SIZABLE BROBDINGNAGIAN FLABBY HEAVY OVERSIZED CONSIDERABLE HEFTY BLOATED TUBBY BIG-BONED ROTUND GARGANTUAN WELL-FED LARDWHALE NIGGER

>>737671569Yes? Even for a poorfag like me, $100 isn't going to break the bank.
>>737676756yeah, it's not impressive. every time the hispanic feedback goes off it takes 10 minutes off the battery life
>$99So the same price as the last controller when you account for real inflation (food, housing) and not official inflation (smartphones, TVs).
>>737676019chinese marketing buzzword
>>737673591>Dualsense has a touchpad as well.And it's less precise and in a shitty unergonomic position. Dualsense also doesn't have capacitive sticks and grips or back buttons.
To no one surprise, the same retards who complained about the switch 2 pro controller being too expensive will not miss the opportunity to shill this and dickride gabe furtherthey'll immediately cope with "but this one is worth the money" when they don't have any experience with either controller
>>737675989>>737676019Technically it's TMR and not HE, but TMR is just a more advanced version of the same tech, so close enough.>>737676279What >>737676369 said. Drift happens because the potentiometer contacts wear out from friction. Hall effect means magnets means no physical contact means no friction means no wear out means no drift.
I have an Xbox controller that uses Eneloop batteries which is better anyway.
>>737676281>If you're gonna shell out for anything other than a wired 360 pad (still the best budget option) then this is the only option>posts a worse option than the Steam controller that's half the priceWhat did he mean by this?
>valve makes a fancy controller with all the bellss and whistles for all the controllerfags to cream themselves over>WTF ITS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A REGULAR CONTROLLER FLOP FLOP OH NONONONO VALVEKEKS
>>737677695Not having hair triggers on a $100 controller in 2026 is kinda nuts though. Most $50 chinkshit controllers have them.
>>737677695>with all the bellss and whistlesThat's the problem, they didn't, they cheaped out on the triggers.
>>737677695>add 2 gimmick touchpads like the ps vita>pretend this is what gamers always wanted>act surprised when it's a failure
>>737671569Xbots already pay $150+ for a controller.
>>737679228>other retards already got scammed, now it's valvetroon's turn
I was expecting £60-£80 so no issue with me
>>737671569is a contoller really worth 50 threads?nobody is going to buy that shit anyway besides some funkopop redditor
>>737681698>is a contoller really worth 50 threads? When it's the greatest controller ever? Yes. Absolutely.
steamfagsnot even once
To be honest, I'm more interested in the new VR controllers for the Steam Frame.
>>737683508the only thing I don't like about them is that it's still AA battery
>>737671569man if $99 is too much money for you then you have to set your priorities straight
Absolutely. Let me buy one already goddamn Gabe you previously fat fuck
>>737683656you have to realize most people on this website are now thirdies100 bucks is a week/month's salary, and valve does not shit to them anyway
>>737673454>>737673743It's always a sonyfaggot instigating a consolewar go play your dyke games and fuck off faggot
Name a better controller for that price.
i dont get the issue, the things got more tech packed into then literally any other controller. its like bitching that a pc with a 5090 "costs a lot"
>>737672512I have one of these, it's alright, better than my XBone controller but about on par with the 360 one. Everything I've read about Gaben's controller paints it as superior so far.
were you retards really expecting valve to release a controller with 2 trackpads, gyro, wireless connection, a magnetic charging puck, tmr sticks all for like $60?
poors get out of my hobby. this is a luxury hobby. not for third worlders.
>>737686718this. whats crazy is in about 12 months time, there will be more exclusive games for the steam controller 2.0 then there will be exclusive games for ps5 and xbone combined, and they will STILL try to dunk on the device.
Yes, I will. How much do you think this shit cost back in the day?PC gaming was never intended for the wretched. If you think $100 is a lot to spend on your hobby, consider rock collecting or bird calls.
>>737687040how much was this? i had two of them as a kid at the same time. plus the side winder six axis ones
>>737671569I could not care less even it cost 200 dollars!I only care that stupid Frame is 1099!!! WHY GABEN?! WHY?! YOU STUPID CLOWN!
>>737687552>Frame is 1099Source?
>>737672512>$140 for this piece of shitThis is the real crime right here
>>737671569>Cheap plastic parts>Godawful layout designIt's obvious that the idiot Gabe is trying to recoup his losses by selling a cheap garbage controller for throwing away money on a stupid yacht, that he most likely is regretting big-time right now. Steamchuds will gobble it up though, they always do, kek.
>>737688132it was revealed to him in a dream
>>737671569so? their VR googles were expensive as fuck on release as well, other stuff they released was also expensive, i think only handheld is priced pretty fairly this is PREMIUM stuff for people who have money, why are third worlders and poorfags crying about it? you should have other priorities than buying a new controller, use xbox or ps5 one or even better buy one of those controllers that have exact xbox's design but are 3 times cheaper, it will work well for yousteam machine is going to be expesive as well, probably like $800+ and people will cry about it again, because they think premium stuff should be priced like a chinese ripoff why are so many people so retarded? everything is getting more and more expensive, we live in shitty times, you are going to pay a lot for this kind of things so get used to it
>>737671569What a shame. Too pricy for me. Early adopter tax and a scalper deterrent.
>>737672862The promise Valve made was cheaper or on par with Valve Index
>>737671734Get a DualSense controller, it's definitely one of the better ones out there. The best Counter-Strike player uses one as well, although he might've upgraded to the DualSense Edge (which is waaay too expensive...).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmM5yPUSUvw
>>737671639You are just a retard
>>737676019Magnets for detecting joystick deflection. Instead of the current method of two carbon pads scraping against each other.
>>737672862People suck the other dogshit controller off and its TRASH
>>737671639>I'm don't care I'm not poor>Get dinged on everything you buy because this mark will throw money at anything> Suddenly "why am I poor?"
>>737688340poors are seething because it would cost them a year's wage to buy it and valve won't ship to bumfuckjeetstan
>>737688382He said "same features". Don't be a retard.
My gamesir ps4 knockoff controller costs like $16 and works great, why in the fuck would I ever buy a $100 controller? Does it give you a blowjob?
>muh "shitty trackpad">muh "sitting on a couch">muh "can't use a mouse"Shill niggers actually try to tell me they're gonna play Age of Empires or Broken Sword point and clicks or some shit on a couch. Disregard their inane retard nigger chatter. There will be minimum use of the trackpad among subhuman couch/console gamers, less than 5% that will use the trackpad. Get a fucking 8bitdo ultimate 2 controller instead. You don't need to pay Gabe 50 more dollars for a feature you'll never use.
>>737671569+shipping tip
>>737688542>Why yes, I am that easy to rinse because I will pay whatever exorbitant price you set and even defend you for it
>>737672512I paid 60€ for my Xbox controller and I'm not paying anything more than that.
>>737688614>100 bucks for a premium controller is exorbitantactual thirdie
>>737688682Yes it is and you being terrible with money is not impressing anybody dude.
>>737688563Stop being a steamie and accept the facts. The $99 Steam controller is a meme.
>>737688730You can't buy this exact controller specs under 150...
>>737688340Consoles are cheap because the games are the real profit makers.Steam doesn't GAF about games. They already sold them to you 10 years ago. They sell $1m worth of games a day right now before the Gabecube even exists.They're not subsidizing the price of the console so you'll buy their games. You're buying them regardless. The Steam Machine will do exactly what it says it will do (play PC games in 4k on your big-screen TV), it's not meant to replace your PC. It's a luxury item that runs SteamOS in your living room.People mistakenly think the Gabecube is in competition with the PS5 or other consoles, it's not. It's competing with the prefab "gaming PCs" sitting on the Costco shelves, which it is going to dominate and make buying a PC for gaming look like a bad investment.
>>737671569>$99 is too muchIt's actually over for americans.Not because they can't afford it, but that they can't help but announce that they can't afford it.Eat your slop and play with your chinese pad, you don't need to announce it to the world.
>>737671569Doesn't seem too bad since it also has the touchpads gimmick. How's the battery life?
>>737688730You know you could offer a controller with similar specs instead of trying to ram what you want onto others.
>100 bucks for a plastic-y controller that will break in 3 months like the dualsense at 80 bucksNo thanks>but it's TMROk, what about the rest of the fucking buttons? I'd rather spend 40 on equivalent chink shit controllers and at least I won't care if they fail.
>>737671569i'll stick with my xbone controllers. bought 4 of them for like $35 each during black friday
I'll stick with my $20 game saar
>>737690040I have an original steam deck and other people still use the original valve controller, it's not gonna break unless you really try.
>100 dollaroos >You're still gonna buy anyways

>>737691095I'm Polish and I will be buying this. Surely people here are richer than P*le, right?
>>737690987I've been told by trusted sources it starts at $2099
>>737676019It means it's the first time someone doesn't by the same garbage ass sticks from the one manufacturer that makes them all for every console manufacturer If you ever wondered why they all start drifting, that's why
>>737691148Not if their only income is whatever allowance their parents give them, that's why I included underage fags

>>737677505Beside the C button what's even the difference between switch 1 pro?
>>737671569I might.
>>737673710What are you talking about?
>>737688467I have enough cash on hand right now I could buy a new steam controller everyday for the next 56.5 years before I'd have to dip into my savings.
>>737671569I wont pay for shit. I dont even buy games anymore
>>737688239>Godawful layout designThat's just your face. Turn your monitor on.
>>737671569The controller is as fat as Gabe Newell.
>>737671569I love how Valve shills are spamming with controller price so none talk about price of Frame and Machine and for tards to spend their anger on stupid controller.Smart AF but lol, how fucking stupid are you morons...
>TMR>Trackpack>better support to linux and windows>ifixit parts and decently repairability similar to the steam deckI think it's better than the $70 garbage that Sony or Xbox sells you, which will start drifting in two years, and better than the $30-$40 Chinese controllers.
>>737671569a ps5 dual sense pro is like 200$...
>>737688714With these features and the fact that it's actually built to last, it's completely reasonable. All these $50 to $80 controllers you tards defend either have less features, are designed to break so you have to buy a new one, or both.
>>737692518that pic is literally youthe only price that was leaked was the controllerof course people are only talking about that you retard
>>737688586>Shill niggers actually try to tell me they're gonna play Age of Empires or Broken Sword point and clicks or some shit on a couchWhat exactly is wrong with that? The trackpads are also useful for a lot more games than just those.
>got one of these years agoits super old but the analog sticks are working right, the only flaw is that the left direction of the dpad is kinda fucked now after years of use, i have to press kinda in the middle for it to workso yeah im not buying any sony, xcuck, or steamgoy controllers. Third party controllers for life
>>737688761>under 150More like at all. There isn't a single equivalent controller out there for any price.
If I wanted to play a game that required a trackpad on a controller, why wouldn't I just use my PC?
>>737671569That shit looks as inergonomic as the switch 2 joycon grip
>>737691576Back buttons. They're pretty nice, though not $90 nice.
>>737692959You could. But if you want to play that game on a couch, you'd need this. If you don't want to play that game on the couch, that's great. Just means you're not the target audience for this.
>>737671569That's the price I expected and kinda hoped for.
>>737692993It's basically the same shape as the Deck, which also looks weird but is actually super ergonomic.
>>737671569just give me the steam frame stop fucking around will all this irrelevant other shit
>>737672512>bought oneI'm actually surprise how good this shit feels. my only complaint that 360 controller is superior. now only if the PS controller follow suit.
>>737692841Submarine joke
>>737692841If someone is interested in Logitech controllers F710 is total fucking trash that cant maintain a constant connection. Known problem and Logitech don't care.
>Not available in your countryI don't get it.How hard is it to sell an item and deliver it oversea?
>>737671639Give me $99 and you will feel even better than if you bought this controller
>>737671569Yes, I will.
>>737671569Yeah, guess I will. Unless other manufacturers get their shit together and add touchpads, there is no alternative.

I mean it'll probably be a good controller overall, however I am concerned whether it's compatible with emulators.

>>737697237i can when its necessary but this is doing a ton of work just to use your handheld as a controller when easier and better alternatives not only exist now but will exist in likely less than a month's time only now with track pads all without jumping through 14 hoops

>>737697581not if you are holding a controller with both hands holy fuck you are either being obtuse on purpose or you are one of the biggest moron on this site
>>737697647the deck has an extra screen, which I should remind you is a touchscreen, you are trading 3 touchpads for 2.
>>737671569I willBetter than PS5 and Microsoft's
>>737697317Not solved, you will need a workaround for the emulator to understand the gyroscope.
>>737697709Only inbreds obsess over that.
Still much cheaper and much better than the first party elite controllers.
I still use an xbox one controller...................................................
>>737697709That really depends on the specifics. But generally you can map the gyro axes to stick axes and that's enough
>>737697690a touch screen that you cant use in conjunction with your PC even wit your 14 step process it essentially becomes a very bright light right under your chin

>>737671569I just sold $90 worth of garbage TF2 items so actually I'll only pay $10
>>737697647if I need a mouse I'll switch to my mouse, at most I might use gyro if the game generally controls better with sticks.>>737697817>a touch screen that you cant use in conjunction with your PCyou can
>>737671569Imagine being angry for paying $100 for something that will last like 5+ or so years.
>>737697765That's a great fucking controller. The 360 controller is still great too.
>>737697871you cant or wii u emulators would have been crowing about it VERY loudly and made this 14 step process much shorter
>>737697782With chink controller, you simply switch to nintendo switch mode, and the emulator immediately detects the gyroscope. Based on how old steam controller worked, you'd need a udp server to read data from the gamepad and transmit it to the emulator, which is inconvenient.
>>737697694That's because retailers make money on console accessories which is why they carry console and stock them prominently. This is why those controller regularly go on sale for $50-$60. That's what Sony/Microsoft sell them for. Valve is just being jewish considering that they're not giving Walmart a cut.
>>737694868Imagine defending $90 price tag game controller because it has Valve branding while shit talking about other better controllers build for gaming in mind.
>>737688730>steamiekys epicjeet
Trackpads made some sense on the Deck, but I don't get the point here outside of the obvious purpose of cross-compatibility with the Deck inputs.
If the price is correct, I can't be that upset about given A) Valve is working at an economy of scale smaller than major hardware platforms and is dealing with the fucktarded market full of tariffs and shortages B) its only slightly more than other controllers. Wonder why that tweet focused on the PS5 / DualSense when the Switch 2 Pro is fucking $90 and has less features etc C) Steam Controller 2 is said to be the only one that is at parity on features with DualSense and some others and Valve is one of the few that is dragging the industry forward in a way that is good for Linux, FOSS, and customer-beneficial policies. >>737672512The Elite S2 was a great controller for its time (assuming you didn't get one of the 'lemon' manufacturing defect types where the shoulder buttons would fuck up etc) , but there's zero reason that it should STILL cost that much. It was released during the era of the Xbox One, before the Series update.. We should have been on an Elite S3 by now with gyro support and other features including a focus on the new GameInput successor to XInput. It lacking gyro for instance is a main reason that cross platform games don't make use of it despite both current and previous gen Nintendo and Sony controllers support. That said, the "elite" features like the swappable thumbstick tops, dpad, the back paddle/trigger buttons etc, the metal build quality , storage/charging case and dock etc.. are great and new iterations in S3 should have been here long ago.
>>737698308>defending $90 price tag game controller because it has Valve brandingNo, because it's the greatest controller ever. Branding is irrelevant.>other better controllersSuch as? Go ahead.
>>737694502>without needing to move your handnigga look at the steam controller layout, look how far away the pads are now. The deck got it right, they've done fucked it up now.
>>737671569Seems like a good price, what's the big deal?>you can get some chink controller with no trackpads for $40Ok? But what if I want something with trackpads and good build quality
>>737697036A $1 mouse is better at controlling PC than Steam Controller. People have been doing “mouse only” challenges since early PC. Only losers like you believe in irrelevant features.

>>737699246>gamesaar
>>737698567Steam controller is not built for gaming, the games will always lock the cursor in the middle for a certain mode. This is confirmed in CS2, TF2, DOTA, Portal, LFD and Greymod. It will act as a camera viewer, you will lose control, nothing good comes from having to relearn an awful technique that no game offers better alternatives.Every game is always using those two toggles as a camera and extra fast action. Steam Controller is not built for such activity.
>>737699246>No Valve is not doing anything special.Yes they are.

>>737699574What the hell are you trying to say?
>>737698631>locking accessory compatibilityThe most successful and widespread console controller, Xbox, became so because it specifically supported PC when the others looked inward for 2 fucking console generations. People who never owned a fucking Xbox360/One/Series etc.. bought their controller type >BUY THE CHINKSHIT GAMESAAR There has always been knockoff 3rd party garbage for cheaper even going back to the earliest consoles. TMR solves exactly one problem - drift. That's fine, but you still need to have decent hardware and implementation. I've used 8bitdo and others and almost all of them have the typical chinkshit problems of having great specs on paper, but the actual usage is shit one way or another. Oh what's this you need to use a proprietary windows only app in order to configure the "extra" buttons, deadzones, and other feature? Oh you can only use the gyro feature if you set the thing to Switch mode (which is incompatible with the 2.4ghz wireless) because its "PC" mode is spoofing the connection identity of a fucking Xbox360 pad's XInput, That's even before getting to hardware/component issues. >HURRDURR BRAND LOYAL What the fuck are you on about? I listed multiple devices from different manufacturers in comparison. Are you just salty about Valve or something? Yeah shocker there that a company that makes gaming less shitty , is the most supportive of PC as an open platform, and has already done a ton to improve controller use no matter what device you were using , and their new gamepads from the Deck to Steam Controller 2.0 seem to have good layouts and features, seems a good idea until proven otherwise that they fuck up.
>>737699639do you keep your PC in the living room?
>>737699263true but why use a $600 bulky fragile gaming console as a controller instead of a lightweight robust controller you can get for $100>>737699574what are you even talking about98% of games ive tried use the trackpads finethe only time it doesnt is when the game refuses to allow mouse and gamepad input at the same time. THEN you have to put the trackpad in "joystick mode" or whatever which yeah is stupid. but actually even that was improved a shit ton recently and feels more accurate than a thumbstick and pretty close to mouse unless the game has heavy autoaim. the only problem ive had with that recently is that its limited to a certain turn speed but that speeds pretty high you have to be trying to turn pretty fast to run into the limit. but still thats a pretty small fraction of games
>>737699724>steam deck>fragilewdym it's built like a fucking tank
>>737699703No. Why?
>>737699798Then surely you'll be using steam link anyway to stream to your TV while playing on a controller, no?Or if you're sat at your desk, just use your mouse.
>>737671569I don't see why this is bad? There are far more expensive peripherals and controllers out there. If it's a good controller then the price is actually fair.
Game controllers have evolved very little in 30 years. I fail to see how the Steam controller "mogs" the others. If anything it looks more uncomfortable thanks to the touchpads displacing the joysticks. I've been using a PS3 controller on my PC for like 15 years now. Use whatever works for you. You motherfucking shills need to die.
>>737699583>PlAysTatIon 5 CoNTrollEr iS noT tHe SaMeIt literally is a copycat, never forget Valve lawsuit when they tried to steal Corsair. These people at Valve can’t make controllers.

Not exactly Valve's fault.>These people at Valve can’t make controllers.Pretty weird then how they've made the greatest controller ever 2 times (3 if you count a handheld as a controller)
It actually looks pretty good for an HTPC. I may buy it at some point because my current chinkshit 8bitdo controller is falling apart and replacements are outrageously expensive (like 10€ excluding shipping for the button rubbers, are they fucking kidding me)
>>737699770idk i worry about it falling off something and landing face first onto a sharp object i guess. its so big i dont have anywhere to set it down by my desk really
>>737699978>How long is your DP cable? My living room is on the other side of a wall from my PC, which the cable goes through, so around 5 meters. Though I admit my layout is pretty fortunate for this usecase.
>>737671639this, I buy a gamepad once per 15 years
JFC that thing looks so terrible. Just buy a Dualsense.
>>737700145do you actually get 4k60 from this 5 meter cable?I ask as that's outside known DP spec length limitations
>>737699908Controllers and controller mapping software have evolved a lot in the last 10-15 years. If you swapped your PS3 controller for a PS4 controller would give you access to mouse input from your controller and 10+ extra inputs you could bind to whatever you want. It is ok if that isn't what you want, but you not wanting it doesn't mean that controllers haven't changed. The main advantage of the Steam Controller is that it is better designed to take advantage of these capabilities compared to Sony controllers.
Controller obsessed gamers are like negros who can't stop buying sneakers even though you only need 1 pair. I don't get why someone would need to buy this over their current controller or a reasonable $60 pair. I've seen people with like 20 xbox controllers on their wall for no reason.
>>737671569Waiting for the next steam update that kills support for all other controllers.
>>737700224My TV is older and only 1080p (haven't used it that much, probably will upgrade now that I know I'll get some use out of it), but other than that, yes.
>>737700465>only 1080poh ok, that makes sense. Get a new TV anon jesus christ
>>737700347>I need 500 buttons to bind even though no game uses more than 6 buttons at mostJust admit you are a shopaholic.
>>737700550Yeah I will like I said. I've also been thinking about having a monitor on an arm over the couch so I can properly lay down. I'll definitely do one of those two once I get the controller and have a reason to use my living room more.
>>737700587>no game uses more than 6 buttons at most Just admit you are consolecattle
>>737700721thing is if you get a 4k TV it's very likely that a 5+ meter DP1.4/2.1 cable will cause problems so you may have to use steam link anyway
>>737700774If I needed 100 buttons I would use a keyboard + mouse. There is no game that focuses on joystick and lots of button presses.
>>737700852Yeah. I'll definitely have to look into it. Maybe just HDMI or if that has issues too, HDMI over ethernet or whatever it's called.
>>737700587>Immediately falls back to meaningless insults when someone points out that you are not correct.I sometimes wonder why I even bother trying to have discussions here.
>>737700940>If I needed 100 buttons I would use a keyboard + mouseWhy? What about if you need 10 extra buttons?>There is no game that focuses on joystick and lots of button presses.Lots of games have switching weapons or other inventory stuff stop the game and open a menu on controller, but bound to the number keys on kbm. With the trackpads, you can switch without pausing the game.
>>737701335>30 years of scientific progress>"dude, they added like a few extra button binds nobody actually uses...">this is "significant"Really? You were being genuine?
>>737701229the limit is about the same for a 4k60 HDMI signal. It might work as you're on the borderline for signal degradation, but you may want an AOC HDMI cable instead as that's probably the easiest solution.
>>737671569That thing looks awful. Why would anyone want one?
>>737701516Because it has steam logo on it.
>>737701496I'll look into that. Thanks.
>>737701516because it's state of the art in terms of features and will have great software integration
>>737701516>That thing looks awful.It doesn't though. Is your monitor on?>Why would anyone want one?Because there's no other controller that's as good.
>>737671569IM NOT PAYING A CENT FOR FUCKING ANYTHING ALL OF THESE COMPANIES REMOTELY SHUT DOWN MY SHIT FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDERFUCK YOU ALL LOL
Yes I will. Day one even.
>>737671639This. $100 is less than a day of work. I'm going to get far more than a day of enjoyment out of this.
>>737701491Yes. Game design has changed to account for limitations of controllers. Features that remove those limitations are significant.
I'm not paying a cent for the Steam controller even if I could afford it several times over.
>>737701362>With the trackpads, you can switch without pausing the game.How does that not pause the game? There are games where you can cycle inventory with L/R or use a Dpad without pausing. Isn't that the same thing?
>>737702012No one asked tranny
>>737671569no i won't. i'm not paying over 30€ for a controller.
Okay, sure if it's good
As the only human being on Earth that owned an original Steam Machine and Steam controller, I suggest wait to see if thing actually gets support and what type build quality it has, the original Steam Controller was very light and flimsy.Wait a year and see if all PC games still use Xbox controller UI prompts.

>>737701516Then buy DualSense so you will never use the touchpad beyond using it as a giant select button.The dual trackpads are the exact same concept as touchpad on DS4 and DualSense, yet one actually has practical use, because they prioritized ergonomics over aesthetics
>>737702037>How does that not pause the game?The same way that pressing any button doesn't. It's functionally the same as using the number keys to swap weapons.>There are games where you can cycle inventory with L/R or use a Dpad without pausing.Sure, but not what I was talking about. Take minecraft. You can scroll the hotbar with your mouse or press 1-9 to instantly switch to that slot. The latter is much faster. Controllers only have the former, but with trackpads, you can assign 1-9 into a 3x3 touch menu that lets you switch to any instantly.
>>737671639>Yeah this 150 dollar sandwich isnt that much of an expense for me, im not poorIt has nothing to do with the raw cost of a thing, its about how it compares to alternatives, a good chinese pad is a third the cost and does everything a controller needs to do, gimmicky extras are not worth 70 extra dollars.
>>737672512I always thought the cost of "premium" controllers was absolutely fucking mental. They use the same shitty 10 cent drifting alps sticks. everything else is functionally the same besides a couple extra back buttons which exist on 30 dollar chinkshit.
I wonder how many people don't know and will be surprised when they find out that this controller is useless outside of steam.
It has more features than the Xbox Elite and Dualsense Edge, and costs less than both.I don't see the issue with $100 for it if it's built to last.
>>737704295I can still add my pirated games to steam thankfully, but would prefer not to have to use that software. I am just really in a need of a solid controller with comfy back buttons and some additional stuff, this one seems like a good buy. Would be nice it keys were somehow programmable outside of steam, some chink will prob make a software for it.
>>737704295You can use it as a basic Xinput or Dinput controller, can't you?You can also configure Steam Input on anything you run on your computer, it isn't restricted to Steam games.
>>737704551but arent those standardized for x360 aka microsoft controller features and layouts only?
>>737704551>You can use it as a basic Xinput or Dinput controller, can't you?No, only with steam api, without steam it's just a random keyboard buttons, at least that's how the old steam controller works, and I don't think valve has changed anything in 10 years.>>737704551>You can also configure Steam Input on anything you run on your computer>>737704527>I can still add my pirated games to steam thankfullyThere are many problems with this, for example, games with gamepass may not work with steam api. Some cracks that replace steam_api64.dll are incompatible with steam, preventing you from accessing steam overlay, which means steam controller won't work. There are many such examples with non-steam games.
>>737704004>gimmicky extrasTrackpads are not gimmicks. If you're unable to see that, you can feel free to buy whatever chinkslop you desire while I'll be enjoying the next step in controller evolution.

>>737705183>without steam it's just a random keyboard buttons, at least that's how the old steam controller worksI'm pretty sure the 'eck has saner defaults and just works as a controller. If it's anything to go by, this will too.

>>737693843>touch pad in a nonviable location>no haptics with the touchpad>no backside buttons>no hall effect sticks>no touch sensor on the sticks for gyro>awful battery lifeIt does have a better d-pad, face buttons, and the trigger rumble thingy is nice.
>>737709212>no haptics with the touchpadNot even with Steam Input? (I don't own a PS5 controller)
>>737672512Premium controllers are a scam.
>>737706528no one's forcing you to use linuxif you're brown enough to stand the humiliation ritual of using hindus 11 then that's on you
>>737698427>Such as? Go ahead.you go ahead, tell me why steam controller is so good, give me all it's features so I can dismiss them all as irrelevant and how pc is a dead platform.
>>737709883lol buttmad snoy calling any other platform deadyour dualshit is complete ewaste designed to be replaced
>>737708319We know you can’t play games on a controller that doesn’t exist yet. That’s the problem.
>>737671569we pay as much for brand new controllers in latin america
>>737671639You can't believe how much people waste money on weddings
>>737671569Yes. I will. I'll be buying 4. One for me, the wife and 2 of my kids as the 3rd is only 2.
>>737683565rechargables that can do 10k cycles will last longer than you using the frame.
>>737706341They were soldered in crooked.
>>737711246I don't care I just don't want to pull out batteries and have to think about recharging them manually instead of just plopping the thing on a dock
>>737671569Based. Filtering poorfags means it is more likely that I'll get the two I need at launch. Even better that I'm getting it for FREE since Gabe reworked skins in CS and turned my 20 dollars of trash into 2500 dollars of space bucks. Still got 1900 left after going on a spending binge. Now let's get that SteamFrame posted so I can get it too.
>>737711606You want to play a VR (Active gaming, physical movements) but you draw the line at repalcing batteries? The fuck mate?
I didn't realize the situation was this dire for consoleplebs. I've got several mice that were well over 100 bucks, so when I saw this leaked for 99 bucks I didn't think anything of it
>>737711741convenience is good
>>737671639
>>737671569I still don't understand why PC fags care about this when they beat us over the head about how they're mouse + keyboard only
>>737672512It's an overpriced piece of shit, after like 4-5 months of use I had stick drift and a non-responding L1 button, bought myself a DualSense 2 1/2 years ago and I'm still happy with it.
>>737711053That’s literally a brand name controller. Why are you lying.
>>737692209If I took away your wallet, would you die?
>>737711606If you actually play VR, you'll appreciate never having to stop playing because you forgot to plug your controllers back in to charge. You can just swap the AAs and instantly be back up to full. Plus replacing Index batteries sucks.
>>737691819>>737694279And sadly is still the best controller on the marketThankfully the new steam controller is almost here, and while I don't think it'll beat the edge I think they'll both be the best together
>>737671569What went wrong
>>737676185they make these in blue?
>>737672512I bought a preowned one for $60 with everything included a few years ago, it's not a bad controller but it's not worth $140-$200 USD before taxes.

>>737671569>YOU VILL PAY $99 FOR THE STEAM CONTROLLERI will>>737671639Based
>>737686718Before all the AI jeetening happened last year? At most $80USD.Of course Valve hasn't yet put up the prices themselves so there's a chance that the leak isn't final.
>>737691819>More than double the normal PS5 controller's price>The only real things you get are two extra buttons (not supported in all titles) and the ability to remove the analog stick tops without disassembling the controller
thirdies be like "99 bucks is too much" when I'm seeing a fag about to pay 250 for a vtuber to control his buttplug for an hour
>>737671569No thanks, I'll buy this chink garbage that will get stick drift within a year
>>737720352>I'm seeing a fag about to pay 250 for a vtuber to control his buttplug for an hourYou can do that? Who's offering? Asking for a friend.
>>737688409true, i should buy a worse $85 ps5 controller instead with less functionality and compatibility because an anon on /v/ told me to
>>737671569that doesn't seem that excessive when you compare it to premium controllers.this thing has what, all the bells and whistles? back buttons and 2 trackpads, rumble, wireless and wireless recharging...still happy I got the original on the $5 clearance, but I do miss having a right thumbstick, so I'm going to pick one up.
>>737720651It's supposed to be the opposite way around but an anon posted on /vt/ and the vtuber apparently read it and would be okay with it >>>/vt/111397505
>>737694551They fixed scalping with the steam deck are you people literally retarded?played 100 hours recently = can buy
>>737721145>They fixed scalping with the steam deckThen why has it not restocked in over 6 months?
>>737720718The official controllers are a scam. You can this for $15 and it has all the same features as the new steam controller.
>>737721145>played less than 100 hours in 2 weeks>banned from buying Steam hardwareI like this system, real Gamers only.
>>737720975I didn't see anything about a buttplug, maybe it's a vibrator for the penis.
>>737700224I gave up because windows is a massive ball ache to run but I ran a fiberoptic hdmi cable 15 meters and got 4k 120hz. the only issue was windows being retarded. I ran a 20 meter usb one too lolI got so pissed off with windows I just put moonlight on my server
>>737721145>They fixed scalping*sells out in literal minutes*wooooooooow.jpg
>>737671569this wouldve sold better at 80-90i will say tho it does have more features than the 80 dollar joy consbut 100 dollars for a game controller is too muchi think the steam deck wouldve sold millions if it was closer to a gtx 1060 3gb than a 1050 and cost like 50-100 dollars less
>>737721335that's mostly thread context>>>/vt/111386263>>>/vt/111386404
>>737721186Because there is a worldwide ram bubble?
>>737721263>cheap chinkshit that falls apart when handled by a manhow many push-ups can you do that these things don't disintegrate when you use them?
One hundred bean bags. Yikes
>>737671569>YOU VILL PAY $99 FOR THE STEAM CONTROLLERI would consider myself lucky if I manage to grab it for under $150 total accounting for tax, shipping and handling. These shits will cost $400 to the public, we are in a scalper's market.>>737688382>Fishhook handsTakes me backBut the controller looks like shit desu.
>>737721263>no back buttons>no trackpads>no gyro?
Don't be mean to OP, this is more than he makes in a month in his country.
I have this one and has been working great so far in these two years since purchase. I'm still getting a Steam Controller.
the unboxing video can now be played
>>737719997The leak can also be fake and there is no Steam controller
>>737721145>fixed scalping with the steam deckcan't wait for my ETA Q4 2027 shipment for steam frame
>>737698308defend this tendie
>>737720124>(not supported in all titles)You actually map them yourself, games don't need to support them. And it's 4, two paddles and two extra buttons by the sticks
>>737672512My wired 360 controller still works today.
>>737671569Sorry Gabe, I already have a controller!
>>737724807Same, but playing 2D platformers with it is hell because it's DPAD is complete ass.
>>737723053BasadoI want to get an SN30 for 2D platformers and phone emulation as well.
>>737671569I don't like playing into fomo but the best play here may be to preorder one and then if it turns out to be shit, just scalp it on ebay.I am worried that if I don't grab one at launch they will never make them again.
>>737724141Steam Controller will have this problem:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UlJ-DAz1bak&t=659s
>>737725470Valve makes hardware for a niche audience of adults, not mass marketed trash for manchildren.Soitendo shit doesn't even have analog triggers, a fucking must for any racing game and the standard for all non Shitendo gamepads.
>>737671569Is that expensive for a controller?My current one is $200 because of special gimmicks for fighting game modules Steam controller has enough extra stuff thay 99 wouldnt bother me
>>737683508I just really hope they allow for properly holding my hands behind the back. Otherwise im gonna need to keep using index base station tracked or get another base station tracked controller like through shiftall I stand that way normally for vrc so losing tracking there sucks But then again if the steam frame is under $1000 it will be considered mid price compared to most enthusiast grade shit ive dropped money on since. Fuck I spend thousands to drink with faggots as anime women..............its worth it
>>737720718I have it, its just so hard to use, I suck so bad with touchpad aiming, but valve makes it actually feel decent
As a kid I looked at adults weird when they paid so much money to do what I could with my Chinesium Now as an adult, I can hate prices, but I get why. I have so little time to play games that I would rather have the nice gear to enjoy my hobby in the small free time im able
what's a good alternative to the xbox one controller? I just want a controller with thumbsticks that last more than a few monthsI was planning on getting the steam controller but apparently the thumbsticks are ass as well
Having a blast with the steam controller
I've used the same dualshock 3 since 2007
>>737726834I am completely biased. But after every controller ive had in the past, this one has served me the best and lasted the longestIts pure shill but im being serioushttps://www.turtlebeach.com/products/victrix-pro-bfg-reloaded-wireless-controller?Platform=PC&Color=Black
>>737726834see>>737723053or>>737676185
>>737726148You can get a good chinked controller for $15 (if you stack coupon sales).
>>737671569Sounds like a good deal.
Most games are built with the PS5 controller in mind. No one is going to natively support this abortion, complete waste of money."HD" Rumble that no games supports, wow. Who gives a shit? It can't even emulate the PS5 support since the game would have to have PS5 button glyphs if you tricked it into outputting the HD rumble.
>>737727619>retard doesn't know what Steam Input is
>>737727668How is Steam Input going to make a game support HD rumble? That's not how it works.
>>737671569I would if Steam had the dignity of selling them to meI had the fucking Steam Deck in the best sellers tab but the page just told me to fuck off because they don't ship to me. Bet I'd have to pay like $130
$90 for digital games what's another $10 for a physical device
>>737727825Abandon them. They abandoned you
>>737671569I have a "Steam Controller at home" made using a Dualsense controller and duct taping one of these to the back of it. It just works.
>>737673335I don't imagine it can feel worse to hold than the steam deck. I seem to be the only person on earth who finds that the sticks being placed all the way at the top and as close to the edge as possible makes it unusable as a handheld.
>>73767291915$ is minimum wage, and I actually make less hourly, so that's closer to 6.5 hours anon or a full workday.
>>737676019From the Hall of Cost, that's why they're so expensive
>>737726007Those “hardware” can’t even work without Steam ecosystem. Just like Apple products, Valve wants you to overpay on junk goods.
TRACKPADS CHADS WW@?????
I better not see you fucking cocksuckers shitting on this lining up to get this thing once it comes out.I waited for the SC2 for a damn decade.So don't clog up the queue.
>>737671569As a matter of fact I will
>>737731663Ok don't worry
>>737731663im gonna seethe if this shit sells out
>>737676019Worse TMR stickst.MR 'eck
Some faggot wanted me to weigh it in another thread, so here are the digits.
>>737731930>7th HeavenWhat mods do you play with? For me it's New Threat 1.5
>>737732051Too many to list honestly.
yeah we should be paying $90 for joycons and $70 for ps controller that break after 6 months instead!
>>737671569It's not an unreasonable price when you account for all the extra functionality of the controller compared to every other controller. The touch pads alone easily account for a $25 increase over the DS5.
>>737724948this controller is one of the most comfy controllers ive ever used
>>737731930>Floating taskbar You godless savage, KDE gave you rice and you didn't even salt it
>>737732864>>737732913Nigger, I play GAMES on my 'eck. Ricing is for troons.
I easily spend $100 at Walmart walking out only with toilet paper and like 3 food items that'll last me 2 days, that said I stopped playing with controllers when I bought a PC and I never looked back.
>>737732951You already riced it by installing cachy
>>737671569This price is actually competitive with other controllers on the market, better than most actually especially if you look at "pro" or "premium" controllers.
>>737733010Cachy is a distro. Dafuq are you talking about, niggy?
>>737733115You spent time installing an os that does nothing functionally better for you Basically ricing
>>737733191Oh, so you're a retard. Okay, carry on.
>>737733221You're not getting anything revolutionary by overwriting SteamOSYou have effectively riced it and you know it, you're setting arbitrary limits for customisation
>>737671569The plastic they use feel cheap as fuck. So no I will not be buying it.
>>737733323You are actually retarded. I won't even waste my time correcting you.
>>737733501You can't take a joke apparentlyThis nigga chose to install another os for vibes alone yet thinks that looking through settings will turn him into a tranny
>>737733660Where's the funny? Didn't laugh.
>>737671569>100 burgerbux for that ergonomic nightmare
>>737671569I will, yeah.
I genuinely regret not getting an wxtra steam controller
I was thinking about buying one, bit it apparently only works with steam games. Which means I would still need a second controller for things like pirated games, emulators, or game pass shit. So this would be $100 for a controller that only works sometimes.
>>737671569$99 is doa, I'll wait for a sale.
>>737671569No gabe, I will not be locked in to your steam ecosystem
i will buy 2
>>737673335Valve is the only one who gets controllers right. Steam Deck ergonomics mog everything else and that's basically what this controller is.
>>737734142>I'll wait for a salenobody tell her
>>737734130>I was thinking about buying one, bit it apparently only works with steam gamesSource? Hard pass if that's true.
>>737734242It literally just a copycat of Microsoft Xbox controller with the Playstation 4/5 touchpad in the worst possible position. Now priced at $100 like Nintendo Switch Pro controller.Nothing about Steam controller is original.
>>737734445Nothing in this controller should cost that much.
>>737734534>in the best possible positionftfy
>>737671569No I don't think I will dracula
>>737734445Valve does sales
>>737734492The web page for the controller says it works with steam, and after googling it, it looks like the previous steam controller requires steam to function. You can use the "add non steam game" thing, to add shit to your steam library, but i don't want to have to do that with all kinds of shit.
>>737718134No blue, but this seems close enough.There's also transparent black version.
>>737735782>transparent black versionLooks pretty neat
>>737735908That's translucent, not transparent.
>>737736032Well they're chinese, english very hard
>>737734754>index never went on sale>steam controller only went on sale when they got sued and had to dump stock>deck only went on sale after years of being backordered due to chip shortage and/or the refurbished units
