>>738132373
That video is 5 years old, "steam controller" refers to the original from 2015, although the new steam controller isn't a big improvement over the original in terms of latency.
The TL;DR is that the best affordable low latency controller is an overclocked Dualsense
>>
>>738132448
Not that steam controller. The new one from OP and their new video.
It being 4 times slower than a dual sense is a joke if true.

>>
>>738132916
Steam input actually adds latency, native is better if supported
>>
>>738133081
I guess the reason Steam Controller 2 is not using Xbox or Playstation input it's because the trackpad needs to emulate the mouse and for that it needs to use Steam Input?
>>
>>738133160
No, since they could have sent data for the trackpads as raw HID with the standard inputs being sent as XInput or DirectInput (like how Playstation pads send gyro thru raw HID, with its standard controls sent as DirectInput). Alternatively, they could have opened a virtual port to send the trackpads as raw mouse input, or allow the user to swap between multi-mode operation.
>>
>>738130620
Wait, I have been playing with a generic Bluetooth controller on PC for years, does it really add that much latency? Over 100ms sometimes? Holy shit
>>
>>738133280
Yes. Bluetooth is a high latency connection unless you're using a low latency variant.
>>
>>738133280
bluetooth is usually the worst option, yeah.
Especially if you have a lot of them near eachother.
Prefer wired or some non-bluetooth dongle option.

It ONLY works with Steam Input out of the box. It's going to need third party drivers for none steam games. Steam Controller is an open source piece of hardware, but the fact is that someone is going to need to make drivers for it to work on none steam games. Games like GoG, Epic Game store and pirated stuff.

They have shit quality control where three out of five controllers will be lemons one will be "fine" and the other will be a invicibrick that could survive a nuclear blast. The reason threads/reviews/etc are so split on if they are god tier or shit is for this reason, as long as -just barely- enough of the controllers they ship out create dickriders who will die fighting & defending 8bitdo because they lucked into a decent piece of hardware. Buying a peripheral should not be gambling and they are turbokikes for continuing this practice and the shills are mouth breathing retards who think it's okay to operate a business in this manner because you can just send them back for the warranty over and over until you get a good one lol chill out dude it's just a $70 controller XDDD
>>
>>738130620
ps4 and ps5 ones have 2ms latency over bluetooth.
>>
>>738138446
It doesn't need third party drivers to work for non-steam games. You just add the non-steam game to Steam and you get full steam input for any game. But if you insist on not adding it to steam you can use SISR to make it work.
When I had Gamepass I just used UWPHook to add them to Steam to use Steam Input on my 8bitdo ultimate for mapping complex inputs.

Just return it if it is bad? There is a reason amazon exists. When I used to suffer through the inferiority of Xbone controllers I'd just order a new one from Amajew and return my old one on the same order since they only survived for around 6 months before missed inputs developed. 8bitdo has a warranty though if you're a simp for Amajew for some reason.

Weird how all these complaints never came up when you had to install Gamesaar or Sony software to use all the buttons on your controller on windows.

genuine question, what do you need latency THIS minimal to play? fighting games?
Obviously low latency is just generally good but I struggle to think of games where anything this tight is even rewarded, much less necessary.
>>
>>738141854
You still need Steam to be running, the only detail he forgot about were chord controls and toggling to gamepad mode (you could also technically change the desktop profile default to use gamepad mode which he doesn't make clear in the video), but really this is just splitting hairs. The "Other Linux" part of the chart is way more misleading if we're being honest here.

the frame is basically just an SoC, no? Like the quest but using their ARM architecture instead of an existing snapdragon mobile chip. I think the frame is gonna be ludicrously priced because of how hard they've been panicking around the price of the cube, but still, it looks like hardware wise the frame should be okay.
>>
>>738142536
And what would that be? Nothing is being done at all. You have to use steam on the frame to play anything, that is where the games come from. If you mean using frame outside of playing games there will be tools for that just like here with the steam controller that you don't like. You can't have it both ways.

I've never seen this test mentioned in controller debate til like a week ago. Sounds like its only for the most anal fighter players, who probably already have very specific fighter setups

>>738148972
Nah, not having a right stick was kinda a problem. At worst you have another input

>>738142649

Lizard mode is because all the steam input requires drivers (like anything) and windows and android refuse to have them natively. Lizard mode is a vompromy if drivers are refused, where if there's non, it uses backup dummy drivers that work on basically anything, but not as fancy

>>738149891
Its actually because I've literally never seen this before, and I suspect it was a niche af test only the most sweaty autistic fighter game dudes did, but now people bring it up just trying to make sc look bad when few people are that sweaty, and half controllers fail anyway. Not to mention that test is grossly unscientific.

But I've never in all my life, even when carefully researching controllers and getting 8bitdo in 2023, heard of this fucking test, so its obviously very niche or new.

Twinstick shooters, they feel better on actual sticks imo.

Maybe, but seems to me you basically can't even outdesign that. You EITHER, have buttons wider apart or separate entirely, preventing crossed inputs,, but making speed worse, or you have the dpad all one piece (like literally all dpads) tight together, and some missed inputs.

Please show me a test where something flawlessly passes this "test", Because it sounds silly. Especially when you are franticly rubbing back and forth like an autistic caveman.

Objectively wrong. Trackpads offer more control, flexibility, accuracy and speed. There isn't a single configuration that a right analog has demonstrated any value over a trackpad.

The gamers nexus graph in OP isn't measuring the same information in the same way. If there isn't anything off with their methodology it'd stand to reason that the Steam Controller is as fast or faster, but who knows.

This is exactly what I thought, sounds like gamesir is measuring PURELY from button to controller, where as sc is measuring from button to input hitting the GAME. RADICALLY different and of course button to game is longer.
>>
>>738152649
>>738154000

if the gamesir has 3ms lower latency than the xbone, then logically it'd beat the steam controller too.

You don't need some tech illiterate to test every linux distro for compatibility lol.
If your distro runs an up to date mainline kernel, it WILL work.

Can't be fucked to record, but two of my Dualsense pass it fully (but suck to input intentional diagonals with), and controllers like the Gulikit Elves 2 pass it in normal use but will fail with exaggerated effort.

I ask again, what is your argument??? That if you use an inferior controller with half the features, and refuse to use it with steam you get 1ms faster?

SteamInput should be open sourced, I feel not only it is the right thing to do, but could also benefit Valve.
The community could contribute to new functions, either directly or indirectly: Imagine if someone forks SteamInput to implement features from reWASD and JoyShockMappper, this could be added back to the original by Valve if it's deemed mature enough. Someone could fork it to add support for Keyboard and Mouse(as input), Fight sticks, Weird Controllers, Racing Wheels, etc..

There could be forks with different things, better UI or something like that (really, I'm dying to see a Radial Menu that look like the one in MGSV). It would be even better if Valve implemented an option to change which Controller Configurator to be used, like how you can use Proton-GE and choose it from inside steam.
>>
>>738155707
Ironic when everything valve does is closed source.
The only thing that isn't is proton and not only it's still a barely usable mess, it's not even really done by valve directly.

Nigga people are not complaining because of the compatibility (though some are), people like me are complaining because valve took their sweet time to make a dogshit overpriced controller with always online DRM.
Such atrocious delay is straight up not acceptable regardless of the platform compatibilities, neither is that fucking price.
You can buy two dualshock4s for that price and have better performance (and better button layouts) for that price, better compatibility and customization WITHOUT ALWAYS ONLINE DRM thanks to DS4windows as well.
And that's first party shit, chinkoid disposable controllers are even cheaper and somehow have better latency too despite being generic BT shit.

I bought the $90 Pro Controller 2, the Steam Controller has a lot more features for the price and is easily repairable in comparison so the $100 controller is a better value. That being said, the SC seems rather pointless to me because the features are mostly for couch gameplay and I'm not interested in using a controller for games better with a mouse to begin with.

Plus if I want to run games through Steam, I can use the Pro Controller 2 which also works on my Switch 2. I guess that's the big thing about the first party controllers, they all double as working on your PC and the console they're for if you're an idort. Shit, the Pro Controller 2 even works on Android, I tested it with that shitty new Dissidia game when it came out.

>>738157923
Its not even poor, just grossly wasteful. Imagine 40$ per controller, for nes, snes, n64, Saturn, Atari, ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, ps5, xbox, xbox 360, xbox one ... 400 dollars or so compared to 100??? Why

>>738158169
I couldn't fucking dream of playing half the shit in steam deck I do without pads. Fallout nv i can access literally every single obscure bind immediately

>Who actually buys replica controllers for every emulated system
A single Playstation controller covers PS1-PS3, their designs barely changed. A Saturn replica covers Genesis too. NES really isn't worth emulating so it's just SNES, Gamecube,and maybe N64 but there's barely any N64 games worth playing. If you want to emulate Xbox then there's fat replicas but you could use a 360 controller(or even one of the newer Xbox ones since the designs haven't changed too much from the 360).

Using a 360 controller for a SNES game is lame though.

Every button on my Elves 2 started double clicking last week. I don't know if that's a common problem with the brand but it's killed my remaining goodwill. If ES uses the same gyro as Elves 2 then it's an unusable pile of shit too.
Cheapest controllers with functional gyro are Gamesir Cyclone 2 and 8Bitdo Ultimate 2. If you don't care about anything but the basics, Gamesir Nova 2 Lite or 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless.

"Feels cheap". Its literally the same plastic as steam deck or basically all controllers. Abs plastic.

>>738159703
>forced closed
there are two reasons it's not supported on windows at the kernel level:
1. valve doesn't want to pay microsoft to have the drivers on the kernel (which they don't need to because it works directly with their software on windows)
2. valve has already submitted their drivers to microsoft for review and it won't be through the process before the controller is released.

1 is a nonargument considering all of you faggots claim its linux's fault SOME of the modern EAC games aren't linux compatible. because they don't offer a solution on linux whatsoever.

I wouldn't say so, the xbone pad was better (for PC specifically) and that was mostly for compatibility, but the overall best depends on what games you play most often. If you play a lot of games on PC you will need multiple controllers anyway.

i can't believe how conflicted i am about buying this or not lmao. my brain says i don't need it because the track pads won't do shit when i'll play tons of games with a mouse still but the customability of the controller seems neat and i'd like a controller that will last for a long ass time. but i guess all the extra sensors it has are points of failure too.

Are you paid to promote gyro because i've seen (You) a few years ago here posting these videos.

Here's the thing, wigglin wagglan was popular in 2007-2010, it's not anyone. If you can't use a mouse or a controller and need another gadget to play cool, just don't think other people will use it because they can headshot bots slightly faster after 500+ practice hours.
>>
>>738162067
>M&K is default on PC.
Why does that matter? Does that mean controllers are the gimmick if you use them on PC since they do the same job as a mouse? If I play a game like Splatoon where gyro is the default method the stick becomes a gimmick since it does the same job as gyro? If everything is a gimmick, then there isn't really anything wrong with being a gimmick.
