> it is 17 hours until 10:00 AM Pacific Time
Yeah I think I'm gonna.
hard pass
>>738161898>wintoddler seethingno one cares
>>738161898Damn not even in linux
>>738161898good, you should stay filtered by windows and maybe even regress back to consoles
>>738162409whatif steamos and bazzite have it then so will any other distro that isn't using a granny kernel
>>738161898Why even design a controller with shit compatibility like that
>>738161669So where are the actual revolutionary controllers, you know, the ones that come with the fucking Steam Frame?
>>738162456It says other linux (steam only) though
>>738162527it specifies rocknix, a niche distro for arm devices onlyif you don't know what linux is, don't say anything
>>738161669Thanks, but no thanks!
>>738162590So its not compatible
>>738161898It says it literally works on anything you can add to a steam client I can't wait for this to be top seller, someone screen shot it to rub in shill faces
>>738162617with a distro made for niche devices that no one uses and is far removed from mainstream linux distros for x86again, don't talk linux if you don't know linux
I'll wait for the Steam Controller 3. This one's still missing a few features.>Third pair of shoulder buttons>Six face buttons (it CAN work)>Trigger stops>Dual-stage triggers>Support for standard controller protocols (DirectInput and XInput)>Swappable analog gates>Pressure-sensitive buttons (for PS2 emulation, mainly)>A screen (for Dreamcast emulation, mainly)
>>738161669i don't play games that requires controllers, but i can see the appeal
>>738162687Wouldnt be the "shill" by the one who wants this to sell
can i shove it up my ass?
>>738162790you can get a long cucumber for 1 dollar and 12 cents from walmartass insertions are cheap
>>738162846yeah but the cucumber can't vibrate and make music
>>738162719If its not compatible its not compatible>D-dont talk about itFirst amendment
>>738162863>definitions of words don't matter because i'm retarded enough to fight over a niche exception
>>738162748No, plenty of actual people are excited. Shills are the ones making lies like it having always online drm (lol)
>>738163183Thats not what shills mean
>>738162727Don't forget the IR camera for Wii emulation too
>>738162617Yes it's not compatible with rocknix
>>738163056What definition, it says not compatible right there>B-but only for-Still not compatible
>>738161898Niggerlicious table.
>>738163326what an estrogenated train of thought you have thereit's going to work with 100% of x86 hardware
>>738163326Its compatible with Windows, linux, and mac, and even android it works on lizard mode. And this is day 1, it WILL improve
>>738161898>posting the same chart form before the video apology correction
>>738163258Replicating a wiimote with a conventional controller is a lost cause. Even more so once you introduce the nunchuk, which has its own motion controls. Might as well stick to the real thing.
>>738163326Damn, you're not even pretending at this point. That's sad.
>>738163326>Still not compatibleWhere are you seeing that it isn't compatible? I think you can't read the chart, and the chart is also wrong as the dude that made it is dumb
>>738161669I will not buy this and will instead continue to use my ancient Xbox 360 controller.
>>738161898>bazzite (full support)It literally (will) work on my machine.
I had a dream that gaben passed away and that in the news it was reported that he was suffering so much in his end of life that despite having a team of doctors attending to him he chose to shoot himself in the head and that’s how he died.
>>738163624>Unironicly playing pc halo without gyro these days for "nostalgia" of controller
>>738163673
>>738161898OH NOOOooo it would be a shame if you all didn't buy the controller and left some for the rest of us!
>>738163490What if i want to play with emulators tho
Xbox controller looking ass
Honestly I would buy one if i had no controller. I burned through several xbox controllers and other third parties through the years because of the shit ass potentiometers but eventually i bought a chinese guilli kit with hall effect and I had no problem since. 4 years already and it's working perfectly still.I could buy a steam controller if my controller dies but only IF it dies and K don't find a deal for another one of these to buy again.
>>738163838i miss them so much..
>>738163965Then you can use it to play them? Why is this controller causing so much confusion to people that didn't even know what the fuck xinput was
>>738164136What if i dont want to open steam while playing
>>738164042Next gen controller is already being made. It looks a bit like a fishbowl, and you put your entire hand into a type of sonic goop. And, you get 3D access to the UI basically. It doesn’t have real buttons, ahahahah…… it’s using your electric signals being sent through your fingers from your brain. Ive used the prototype before, works very smooth. But some guy died using it before so it’s not ready.
>>738161669Are they only releasing the controller now?
>>738164160Bro stop being a whiny little faggot. Do you know how much of a bitch you are sounding like?>b-but i don't want to launch steam!Nigger it's literally always open. Fuck off
>>738164160>What if I want to play games without turning on monitor, or no electricity, or no buttons, or while being amishStop being a retard.
>>738161669its just a fucking controller man...
>>738164260>>738164270So much for free softwareI should be able to use my hardware how I want to
>>738164328>no dildo attachment? I refuse to use it!Ok, don't buy it
>>738161898What the fuck is a lizard mode?
>>738164160then install the drivers on linux
>>738161669>just wanted this to play retro emulations shit like NES-ps2 stuff>can't even do thatFuck this gay shit, Valve are fucking retards
>>738164368Tranny argument
>>738164418just use it on linux, retard
>>738164328Then download the drivers yourself from bazzite, and make your own windows / android version of steam input dickhead.You are acting as picky as bubble bass without wanting to put in any fucking effort.>>738164371Basically if drivers aren't available on a device, it defaults to more simple input anything can handle
>>738164307Theres already a 4th gen controller which basically is only a ring you put onto each thumb and each index finger. And they communicate wirelessly, very accurate and comfortable. It uses magnets to determine what keypress you made, can easily program any number of buttons, can also do other things like an invisible keyboard so you can type anywhere, all done using magnetic positioning. Basically like summons a 3D grid in real space, but in code. And just uses your magnets to determine what you’re doing. It’s pretty cool.
>>738164481sounds gay
This is literally tivoization btw
>>738161669>That thumbstick placement.
>>738161898Steambros...
>>738164610>Steambros...Yes? What part of the chart is confusing to you. Explain it
>>738161898>Steam is so consumer friendly!
>>738164594Developers are working on a new game controller which uses your eyes to control the screen. Basically this was an attempt at skipping the laborious task of getting your “cursor” to the correct place. So it assists you with menu movements and also character positioning. It all feels very natural, you just look at it anyways and it does what you’re saying, almost as if it’s reading your mind somehow. But it’s all done using unconscious eye pattern recognition and retina analyzing. Magnets are frequently used in place of traditional hardware, to allow some added flexibility.
>>738164705This is literally because steam is providing drivers that android and windows and fringe linux distros refuse to provideWindows could fix this tommarow, its on them
>>738164610I don't really know who this controller is for aside from valve cultists. You might as well just buy a $30 8bitdo that works everywhere inside and out of Steam with zero setup.
>>738164035The new Xbox controller which isn’t in use today is much better. It’s actually a doughnut shaped controlled, and you put your hand inside of it and grab onto a filament and hold. It’s a metal filament which uses the heat from your hands to determine what actions you’re making. It’s much quicker than traditional button presses because you don’t need to move your hands. It’s also laser quick latency because it’s all done instantly using heat algorithms.
>>738164981My schizo theory is that it's designed to force more people onto the steam ecosystem. You buy this controller, realize it doesn't work on your pirated games or EGS/GOG, then you start buying games exclusively through Steam instead because Valve sucks with hardware refunds.
>>738164418Add Emulator to steam?
>>738165148>Give data to company
>>738164838>This customer service-ass sounding response.
>I MUST GET THE NEWSLOP THING!!!still using my gamesaar
>>738164418Why would you buy this controller for emulators when none of those games can use any of the features of this controller? Just use a DS4 like a normal person.
>>738164981The next gen controller is already happening. It looks almost like if you raised a keyboard off your desk, and put your hands under it. Inside this alcove is actually thousands of infrared sensors which are projecting a 3 dimensional matrix capable of monitoring your every hand gesture in real time and transferring your input into a 2 dimensional space. The advantage here is that it’s totally programmable and efficient as possible. Theres no need for touching any hardware and getting frustrated that you missed your turn by 1 degrees. The infrared laser tracing of your hands gets it right every time. It also allows for tapping your pinky finger to pause the game, for example. It’s no wonder why this control format would out perform traditional hardware. Sold like crazy already. I heard of it last week and bought one, it’s so good on my high score screen.
>>738165186AI chatbot ahh response on god
>>738165175Literally what data? Tf? Yall will live in uk giving a penis inspection to the govt but draw the line at steam having a single email linked to you.
>>738165309Tell me more
>>738165283Emulator's can via steam input. This is why deck was called an emulator powerhouse. It could do basically any game
>>738164418Why would you need trackpads to emulate old console games, retard?
>>738165353>ProjectionI dont live in uk
>erm you dont need this to play [thing]So what does this bring if i have another controller, touchpads?
>>738165469you get to be part of the cucksoomertards buying the new goyslop
>>738164328No, you're thinking of cuck software, where corpos can take from them and they get nothing Linux is using a gpl license That means you don't get to pack free software into proprietary locked down jeetware like windows or you get raped in courts
>>738161669Is there any point in getting this for use alongside the Frame?
>>73816189This is needlessly confusing for a fucking pc controller, good god, they really want people to buy a stupid steam machine
>>738165542Yeah, locked down like "you can only use this hardware while our proprietary locked down software is running"
>>738165553No
>>738165413Theres a better way to play old console games. It’s a type of full body suit that you put over your clothes, which tracks your bodies movements. So to turn left on the screen, you have to scream “NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER”. And, to turn right, you scream it faster. To buy an item you have to whisper it quietly you need to whisper “Hitler didn’t do anything I wouldn’t have did too given the situation”. And to level up in the game you need to rape a bitch irl and the suit tracks your body movements to make sure you really raped that bitch.
>>738165469>Unaware that trackpads are closest to a virtually universal interface we have You can do literally anything with it.>>738165553It has an ir light for specifically frame to detect so kinda???
>>738165413Why does it need to be locked behind DRM shit?
>boot into Linux>install driver>controller has full functionality regardless of whether Steam is running or notHeh, just that easy, Microcucks.
>>738165647Why should they give a shit about you windows brainlets who don't use steam?You're not their customer nor are you helping them with their long term goals
>>738165413>>738165283I like cycling out different controllers when playing retro games, like using a PS5 controller for sega genesis games or a xbox 1 for dreamcast, I should be able to connect this pos to my PC and it should be able to work on anything I fucking want like every other controller out there
>>738165735You are right, company should only care about profits
>>738165647>"you can only use this hardware while our proprietary locked down software is running"this applies to any controller with more features than a regular 360 one lol, you're not getting gyro without the manufacturer's app, regardless if it's 8bitdo, flydigi, gamesir, corsair, razer or any other company
>>738165846>But what about-I can use those>B-but the wagglanMore functionality than steam controllers
>>738165817they care about improving the ecosystem and that involves moving away from microsoft's proprietary trashthey don't care about you cucks who bitch about steam running while you're getting gaped by microsoft's army of jeetsyou're a hypocrite with no principles
>>738165930Is steam propietary or not
>>738165817I mean you can't even buy their product without a Steam account in the first place, so why should they design their shit around people they aren't even attempting to sell to?Who exactly is going to make a Steam account in order to buy a controller and then cry and whine about how the controller requires Steam in order to work? That's extremely retarded shit.
>>738161669Does anyone know if it's possible to set up a quick profile switcher on this thing/the deck?For example, I play multiple weapons in Monster Hunter and use the back buttons as well, but the bindings I have set up on the back buttons change depending on what weapon I use. On my Apex 5 I have different profiles I can hot swap with a quick button combo. Just curious if it's possible or if I have to go into the steam controller menu thing
>>738165976I dont have steam on auto startI dont want it running when im not using it>steamfags will call this unreasonable
>>738165969YesThe controller driver isn't, it will just work on any up to date Linux distroIf you want to keep making the world worse you can stay on windows and use chinkware
>>738161669If I can't play Fortnite with this then what's the point?
I'm getting one and am HDMI splitter so I can use my PC on the couch
>>738166087Its not free then
>>738166186No one is claiming steam isNeither is any other platform Steam is still the only gaming platform that pushes for open source standards
>>738165997Yes. You can bind any button to RADICALLY shift to COMPLETELY different layouts that are absolutely nothing alike.Seriously I think you could bind literally every switch in a 757 to steam deck and still be able to have more I believe you want action sets, they let you completely change stuff up, or partially.Watch a few videos on steam input, odds are you CAN do what you want, just have to configure it
>>738164163>>738164481>>738164838>>738165002>>738165309what is this schizo shit
>Tells you you can install your own os>suddenly all your controller stops workingermmmvalvemachinebros?
>>738166270>Open source but not freeThat's what BSDshit is tho
>>738166361That's cuck licence, not free
>>738166337Image is entirely unrelated. Every controller I've tried works on steam os. Its harder to find one that doesn't
>>738161669'um on 'ontroller
>>738166389No copyleft, not free, like steam
>>738165796This
>>738166023therein implies you want to autostart other video games regardless without steam
>>738166441Were you dropped on your head as a kid?No one is claiming steam is freeThey have no incentive to work for Microsoft, they're not fans of cuck licensing things themselves
>>738166295Fuck yeah. This was my only concern. Much appreciated friend, I'll look further into action sets soon.
>>738166414>Have money from selling a csgo skin unboxed 8 years ago>Buy controller with it>Cum tribute for $100And that's how I turned my steam bux into real cash
>>738166446Emulators or games not on steam? I dont want to use steam if im playing those
>>738166529They use cuck licenses because its not free (as in free software) retard
>>738166556why can't steamies comprehend this... our lives don't revolve around having steam opened..
>>738166532Its also worth noting a lot of that is already available on steam input of you want to get your feet wet with another controller. It won't be As good without pads, but gives you a damn good idea.
>>738166597What a genuine moron you areValve is not going to give Microsoft free labor They don't care about you crying, you being on windows is objectively worse for free software anyways so drop the act, faggot, you don't actually care about free software
>>738166556>>738166671>I want to autostart emulators >for some reason >but I’m genuinely too stupid to learn how to use scsi to reprogram lizard mode for xinput >im such a smart pc user lord and master of all computer and technology but running a firmware tool is a step too far for me if only to make some pedantic point on chan
>>738166701Yeah that makes sense they're a company that cares about profit
>>738166597anon, stop confusing /v/ with /g/ nonsense.nobody cares about copyleft here
>>738166783What the fuck are you talking aboutI just said I dont have steam open on boot
>>738166805His fault bringing up permissive licenses
>>738166784They care about profit and their Linux agendaYou as a cuckold that is hypocritically and selectively butthurt about steam but not windows is objectively worthless as a customer and as an ideological ally to Valve You have no value to valve whatsoever
>>738166414The 'ecker needs to be stopped
>>738166937They dont have a linux agenda
>>738166983You're denying reality now?
>>738166784You literally don't understand gpl licensing do you?? Its basically communism license except it works, and DOESN'T empower a central power.It basically says "literally anyone, from the sweaty neck beard in Washington state, to the brown poo covered indian, can use this software, for free, distribute for free, share for free, copy for free, edit for free, make the entire os graphics made up of your penis for free, we don't care. OUR ONLY RULE , is don't use it in a SOLD PRODUCT, because we want this to STAY free".Doing it otherwise opens up Microsoft to taking it, and suing older users for copyright infringement, because they argue we used their code, despite THEM taking it. Its happened before.
>>738167025If they had a linux agenda, their software would be free, period
>>738166846the steam controller has been around since november of 2015. you’ve had over a decade to become even distantly aware it. scsi, among other tools, will reprogram the steam controller’s lizard mode to work as xinput, or even a ds4. as it has been for a decade now. obama was still president when this was resolved and settled and became old news
>>738167037Yeah thats right and steam doesnt use gpl
>>738161669I'll save up my money for the Steam Machine instead
>>738161669Valve controller thread This shilled goyslop will flop just like the time you fags shilled stadia, that amazon mmo etc
>>738161669>100+ posts>no mention of pricewell?
>>738167059>A storefront should be freeJust how retarded are you? You think they should expose their financial heart to hackers?
>>738167087Was talking about linux , bazzite , ect, and everything else with the driver's already out for free You will own everything and you will still be miserable for some reason
>>738161898>steam controller>controls steam
>>738167182$100 is worth it for premium Valve hardware :)
>>738167196Where's the source for the official steam controller driver
>>738167397Its literally on bazzite which is open source. Look around there
>>738167397In the Linux kernel you fucking retard
>>738167484Ok show me
>no xinputtrash
>>738167521you're not worth my time anymore considering you're fighting for microsoft it means you don't care about open source so my time citing it would be for nothing
>>738167632You lied then
I think I might buy one just to put my 'ick on it.
>>738167719This might interest you. >>738166414
>>738167684no, you're a desperate winjeet, you're not worth it to me if you cared about open source you would want it to not work on windows to encourage people to leave it but you don't
>>738167521https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hid/hid-steam.c
>>738167897Watch he's gonna claim you STILL didn't show him.But yeah, proof its baked into linux.
Buying it day one and my only question is about when steamOS is getting an official release, bazzite fell off after the developers decided social politics was better than getting consistent updates and now that I'm on cachyOS I'm fine with it, but the second steamOS is officially out for desktops I'll reformat my drive and install it.
>>738167787maybe im a mac user thoOr dont use ubuntu
>>738167897Thanks senpai
>>738168038It literally said it works on mac too if you just add as non steam game.
>>738168020>steamOS is getting an official release,might be a long way away, if evereven on handhelds not named deck it's still pretty ass, even those in beta support for steamosthen the task of valve supporting a bunch of systems with nvidia gpus or intel cpus? dunno, sounds like a huge task they don't want to deal with
>>738168134Honestly my assumption was that it would get the release alongside the steam machine since its basically just steamOS without the built in restrictions it needed for the deck, I'm also waiting on it because cachy has a hissy fit over vr and if the frame releases with steamOS on it, that means it'll be integrated much more smoothly if I just get a desktop version of steamOS
>>738162748>>738163237if you are paid to push something, you are shilling.most shills in regards to steam are hired by epic games, but now this controller threatens the dying profits of xbox and sony.they are being hired to shill "against" steam.the only brand of them dumb enough to mention a product they DO want you to buy are 8bitdo, who are trying to expand.Sony and xbox don't want to expand, they want to avoid shrinking.So long as people don't buy steam, THEIR stuff is still gonna be bought.Epic.... Tim Sweeny just HATES valve that much and goes out of his way to uphold a onesided feud.
>>738167897>goto
>>738161669it doesn't even rotate
>>738168985Seems like the use case for it there is because C lacks `defer` like modern alt-langs. And they want to be extra-sure about explicit scope.
>>738161898Just enable steam start up on boot and forgetJust spend 10 seconds to add non steam games to your steam library
>>738161669>tfw won't be home when it drops for several hoursI hope it won't sell out
>>738169902It's a controller, idk why people are freaking out about stock.The cube will be interesting though. I hope valve give priority to people who've already paypigged for the "eck and controller
>>738167181>seething because its not one of his shill threads crying about shit proven falselol
>>738167181it will be a repeat of this :)
>>738170087but they just restocked thousands of game consoles in the last week
>>738169998Because it's Valve they probably have like 5 of these in stock desu
>>738170226nah, they actually have a semblance of a marketing plan it seems, and are aware of the hype. I'm sure it will sell out day1, but their restocks will probably be much faster.
>>738169998even if it's not stock, it's probably first come first serve in batchesif you want it soon and not in december best to order asap
>>738163326>sir you can't ride a car on a highway where the wheels are wooden triangles>"OH SO CARS AREN'T ALLOWED ON HIGHWAYS ANYMORE HUH"
Worth just for the ease to repair with just a screwdriver and mailing Valve support for replacement parts
