Valve is obsessed with putting touchpads on everything. The original HTC Vive wants weren't even going to have touchpads until someone at Valve forced it.
You're paying $100 for a chink controller with touchpads. The triggers are shit. The dpad is shit. abxy is shit. You can get a 3rd party controller with tmr sticks, better triggers, mechanical button switches and all the same latency/polling rate benefits for $50.

Symmetrical are legit worse.
But, you can get used to anything, including anal beads.
dpad and face buttons don't have the same value. Face buttons are usually being assigned to actions, while dpad is just for scrolling menus/items/other minor shit
Same with right and left stick

vegans are unpopular contrarians shilling garbage no one wants, like pc shills

much like vegans, pc shills can't enjoy anything in silence, they have to make their interest in an unpopular choice revolve around whining about the popular choice, they can't claim to enjoy anything without whiny comments on how the popular thing is bad in comparison
they shill and beg everyone to join their cult and can't live with the fact that people prefer the popular choice
also they can't stop talking of how they can replicate/emulate the experience of the popular thing, to cope with the fact that their unpopular alternative is shit and they need to copy the popular thing to have anything to enjoy

>>737934594
Symmetrical is better for D-pad-centric games. Asymmetrical is better for analog-centric games. It's a matter of where your thumb naturally rests. Hence why swappable controls are the best.

>>737935592
>Symmetrical is better for D-pad-centric games. Asymmetrical is better for analog-centric games.
desu it's more like asymmetrical is shit for d-pad-centric games, but symmetrical is still good for analog-centric games.

Tendies have been living with shitty dpads for so long that they actually believe this. Using control sticks when in instances where a good dpad would be optimal.
>>
>>737935592
>Asymmetrical is better for analog-centric games
Unless your thumb is on the right analog more than it's on the face buttons, like pretty much all first person games, ace combat, souls likes ect.
Only genres I can think of where asymetric is better is non-souls action games and 3D platformers.

>Do you just not play them?
Probably not. The only "Souls"-like games I can think of that I've played are Medievil (doesn't even have right analog to aim) and Little Witch Nobeta (which was annoying to play iirc). 3D games I play on a controller have good automatic cameras or at least let me quickly rotate or adjust the camera with the L2/R2 buttons or by holding the triangle/Y/X button without me ever having to move my thumb away from the right face buttons. I never use the right analog stick.

I grew up playing games which require no aiming or camera adjustments on a controller, while I played all the "aiming" games on a PC. Whenever I played PS2 games which utilized the right analog stick to swivel the camera around it was a fucking pain in the ass and I just don't play these games anymore nor have I played them in the past 10-15 years.
If I had to play a game which uses the right analog stick for aiming I would play it on my Steam Deck and use gyro, assuming using a mouse and keyboard is impossible.

This was genuinely kinda shitty if true, and I hope this isn't some kind of trend.
But I give Valve a break here for a few reasons:
1) I'm on Linux anyway so it wouldn't have affected me even if I bought the controller.
2) I don't think Valve is planning to become a worldwide controller manufacturer and lock everybody into Steam that way, so this is probably a one-off they did out of laziness and not a trend.
3) They helped develop Linux for nearly a decade so on the freedom-proprietary scale they're still firmly in the green on freedom for now. I can forgive a lot for basically singlehandedly fixing Linux gaming.
4) I don't plan to buy a Steam Controller anyway, since I'm fine with KBD+M for most games and Dualsense for those that need a controller.
But yeah, this is genuinely kinda shitty of them.
>>
>>737941795
Doesn't do that, didn't do that with sc 1 or steam deck

>>737944282
Its bs, platform is open like steam deck.

Literally the only reason steam is ""required"" is because 90% of it's function is actually software, and very significant software that's not as easy to recreate as default ass binds.

Think of it like a gps tracker you have the right to mod, do whatever with.... but if there's only one gps system (for now) you kinda have to use that system because there's no alternative yet. And its not even out. So nobody has even had the OPPORTUNITY to make a new gps software.

You could also think of it like if linux people shrieked a new windows pc "wasn't made for linux" because it didn't include linux. Not because they hate Linux, or banned Linux, or purposely prevented linux , they just didn't include it, and perhaps had a licensing conflict where they couldn't include linux without a lawsuit... but people shriek its anti Linux. Even if a week from launch you can put Linux on it. But before its even out, Linux isn't on it.

Its really, really stupid, and its not even out yet...

Is it just me or is the placement of pads way too far from face buttons? Say I grip it to use the rs and abxy, I'd surely have to move my hand down to switch to the track pad.

Not really. Going off steam deck, buttons are almost fully forward thumb, stick is neutral thumb, pads are lower thumb.

If you have nerve damage maybe, but most people its all perfectly in comfortable ranges

What's wrong with dinput? It doesn't have a button limit, does it?

NTA but Silksong is design for stick movement, while HK was designed for dpad movement.

>Steam Controller will be better than Xbox 360 one
That's not hard to do
Many controllers are better than the xbox360 one.
In fact xbox360 and xinput has held back gaming.

Yet so little to play. Every steamie complains about having a “backlog” because they don’t play their games or whatever. They just buy Janitor Simulator or whatever is tending and then are confused when console players are happy to buy and play just two or three good games a year.
