Since everyone who wanted it already got it, which are your favorite games to play with it?extra points if you use custom configurations beyond mapping the mouse to the trackpad
Playing Kingdom Hearts and Trackmania United Forever. For Trackmania having access to track pads is nice for the menus. For Kingdom Hearts I have the back buttons linked to the three magic shortcuts and the look button.
>new steam controller gets released just as the rubber from my stick from my orginal is wearing off.Valve planned this
>>738631335Play Remnant or Helldivers 2 with it to really learn what the thing can do. Games that make you move while also rewarding precision shots but aren't pvp bullshit.
Those fucking NIGGERS at UPS delayed my order and I still dont have a date for its arrival despite ordering during the first batch
>>738631335Backbuttons are so nice, they need to be standard. Being able to move my character, the camera, and have face button equivalents at the same time is the best and it's hard to go back
>>738635131they're way too easy to accidentally press on the new controller. the steam deck doesn't have this problem so i have no idea why they fucked with something that was working fine already
>>738631335Still waiting for mine.
>>738631335I'm getting it this week.
>>738635975You'll get muscle memory for it so not an issue
>>738635975yeah I'm not a fan of the back buttons on the controller. the deck ones have more resistance or at least require more effort to press because of the ergonomics and you're far less likely to press them accidentally. The dpad feels a bit better though, and the pads feel good as well.
>>738635975i prefer the buttons on the controller to the ones on the deck, they feel far better and better to press
>>738636469I hope so. it's just the bottom row that I fat-finger constantly, top buttons are fine
>>738636985I had this exact issue yesterday and just one night of sleep was enough for me to stop gripping emHope it works for you anon
Has anyone tried this game?the top voted controller setting with thousands of hours has the shooting on the trackpad but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with it because it only shoots when you slide the trackpad, and it counts whenever you touch it as the starting point so if you touch the top and slide it down it shoots downwardsso basically you have to touch the middle and slide towards the direction repeatedly each time you want to shoot, which makes no sense so idk why is this setting rated so high
>>738631335>Since everyone who wanted it already got itMy controller has been stuck in Illinois for three fucking days now. Before that, it was sitting as packaged for another three days. I ordered it at 19 minutes past opening, and I'm not due to get it until the 14th.
>>738631430Dumb, back buttons should be dpad up and dpad down
>>738631335I am on the reservation for getting the controller. How long is the wait until I get an email from Valve telling me I can now buy the thing? They apparently did reservations for the steam deck back then also how long was that?
>>738639858Few months
>>738639858The LONG haul... Soldier..
>>738631335GYROGYROGYROGYRO IS KING
>>738639961What is it for if I don't play shooters and it's useless in other games?
>>738631335I ordered mine literally 8 mins after it opened, due to the store dyingit STILL hasnt been shipped, been "packed" for a week. Clearly they sold more than what was in stock
>>738639961This game already got gyro figured out over 10 years ago
>>738640048Any game with an aiming component will benefit from gyro.
>>738640287For this I use the mouse. The only games with a properly configured gyro are the two new Zeldas.
>>738631335it's been almost a whole week and it still says "Order packaged".i ordered about 26 minutes in,am i fucked
>>738639961I was trying to get it working the TP decomp but I couldn't. I dunno if that's a Linuxfag issue.
>>738631335I want one but I'm broke. :^(
>>738641260fill it up
>>738631335>Since everyone who wanted it already got itI didn't. It's STILL FUCKING SHIPPING GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY GLS YOU NIGGERS
>>738631335>spent 30 minutes spamming last week, didn't get in>was several hours late to the reservation signups a few days agoit's fucking over I'm never getting one, and no I am not paying scalperniggers.
>>738641619TAKE THIS, SKANK
>>738631335>everyone who wanted it already got itfuck you
It's nice
>>738643670Seek help, mentally ill faggot
>>738643670Kill yourself
>>738631335Have fun guys. I only have steam deck, but I can't imagine using controller without trackpads anymore.
>Ordered mine two minutes before the Steam page ad>100% definitely within the first batch of orders by a country mile>Stuck like thisGABE WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?
>>738642930dude I ordered half an our before you
>>738643963>>738643865>>738642930This is fucking bullshit, I couldn't have been more on time.
>>738643865>>738643963>>738644165Same here. I'm going to the distribution centre in Holland on Wednesday when I'm free if it isn't delivered by then. Retarded niggerfaggots doing jackshit
>>738644281crack that whip, anonthreaten them with removing the poppadoms from the lunch room
>>738643670why are you gay
>>738633076Dont worry anon, it was Sunday. UPS doesnt work on Sunday, so you should get your delivery date in the morning.
how good is the gyro? compared to dualsense?
>>738631335Ummm there r massive deadzones, garbage contoeller even Reddit says so???
You know, GLS still stuck in transit but I see that some people didn't even have it shipped yet so I'm ok
>>738644165Same here, probably all countries around the Netherlands are fucked, shit sucks
>>738646460You'll need to spend a couple of hours setting it up, but you'll still get an experience worse than a mouse.
>>738641619I'd be willing to give up my reservation for full price + 10$ scalping tax, I'd settle for a free blowjob even if you look cute
How do I get this to work without Steam, in case I want to pirate Steam games?SISR requires Steam to run.
>>738648717>How do I get this to work without SteamWithout steam you can't
>>738648717Transition to linux troon
>>738649245I don't want to go back to being a m*le though.
>>738648717You can play pirated steam games on steam
>>738631335>Since everyone who wanted it already got itNO I DIDN'T! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CONTROLLER, GABEN?
>>738649701
>>738631335I just finished playing Nuclear Option, I can use the trackpads in the plane menus and I have the gyro set to look around while in cockpit, it's perfect.I tried a little bit of X4 with it, and I'm sure I could cobble something together to make it work exactly how I want it but its a bit of a PITA in games that expect a controller OR keyboard & mouse.
>>738648717>SISR requires Steam to run.lmao what a piece of shit. I don't doubt some nerds will create a driver so you can use it without steam later but valve being so fucking retarded to add drm to hardware is just baffling even more so that there's people defending it.
>>738650548It's drivers not drm retard. Drivers are on steam, or linux. No drivers, it goes Lizard mode. You can install the drivers your fucking self if you are worth a damn coding wise. But you aren't so will cry
>>738650548>windows being so shit it lacks driver is steam's fault and also muh drmlmao
>>738650548>trying to act smug and superior>when you do not even know what DRM is
gaben better ship the fucking controller today
friend of mine already got his...
Is it a good controller?
>>738650970How are the 'ick pics looking?
GLS REEEEEEEEEEEEE Someone nuke their offices
It arrived to today, just playing around with it. Pretty good speed for east yurop
>>738635131They should be a no-brainer, but there are two reasons they aren't standard. First, Corsair's subsidiary SCUF has patented the shit out of all shapes and forms of back buttons. Not sure how Valve got around it this time since they got sued for the original steam controller and that was one of the reasons it was discontinued. Maybe they just licensed the patents this time. Second, Xinput doesn't support back buttons anyway so for most games all you can do is duplicate the functionality of other buttons.
>>738651282If you need a controller for your PC, I'd say it's one of the best out there. But if you're happy with the controller you have, you don't need the Steam controller.
>The parcel has reached the parcel center.>in the next city over, a 20 minute drive away>4 hours agoFUCKING SEND IT TO ME ALREADY GLS YOU RETARDED NIGGERS
>>738651041>>738651824Yep it's taking, it's taking alright
>Finally the controller is in the hands of GLS>Only One country between valve's warehouse and meSurely it won't take long now, right?
ahemFUCK GLS
>>738652856Lol. Lmao, even.
>>738652279Yours was faster than mine while departing from the same zone.I can't believe how bad is steam to manage the logistics once again.
>>738646681Huh same problem as the deck? Didn't even notice it on mine
>>738652947>>738652856>>738653178>>738652012>>738651824>>738649707>shippedcels seething>meanwhile, I'm comfy waitingPacked-chads win again. Stay malding shippedcels!In other news, I bought a Steam Controller Gen-1 a day after ordering the Gen-2, and it arrived on Saturday. I spent a bit of time on the weekend to do a thorough bandaid mod on it to reduce the clickity-clack of its buttons and plastics, and it's a pretty neat little device. Shame I missed out on it 10 years ago. I'm going to mod it with USB-C and a TMR joystick so I can hand it off to my gf to play sims or something with. I'm hoping to mod in dual-stage triggers on the Gen-2 when it eventually ships to me.
>>738644281Those stoners probably rolled up joints with our delivery slips and can't find the printer to make new ones.
>>738631335You know I'm a hardcore Xboxer but I want to party with the Steam boys.
>>738653498You really should. Xbox doesn't even have gyro aim
>>738631335I AM STILL WAITING.
I wish they made all shoulder and back buttons capactive instead of the grips. Would have fix gyro problem if i can trigger shoot with just placing finger on it. So much better than trigger locks
wheres my shit GABEN YOU FAT FUCK
>>738653836Nah I'm not readjusting my fingers to avoid having them rest on the triggersThe point of these gimmicks is to have every button accessible while also being able to trigger them
>>738654110You could just have it not bound. I know crazy right. And i mean capactive buttons not just a stiff area
>>738654270You're suggesting "instead" so now I have those not bound and where do I bind them?That's the thing, I don't think they just didn't think it through and find a random place to put triggers on so that people could use every single standard function of the controller without interference. They figured that the easiest thing to hold and release while still having some grip on the controller and each of the buttons and analogs were the grips.
>>738631335I don't get mine until tomorrow becusyUPS decided to hold it hostage over the weekend. But I think I'm gonna play the Twilight Princess PC port with all the gyro shit enabled. I have a couple other games like skate and Assassin's Creed Black Flag installed to test out the controller with various games.
>>738654561Will that TP port support SC gyro?It seems to support the dualsense but wouldn't it need to be added to steam at least for that?
>>738654473Grip touch activation is about the most unreliable bind they could have made. Its a borderline useless pause function at best. If you could have activate by grip pressure maybe it would have been better tool
>>738654732It already does.
>>738631335Anyone that got the controller and has the old one, does the new dongle work with the old controller? I want to keep using the old controller but I lost he dongle long ago.
>>738655061I'd tell youIF i WASN'T STILL WAITING A WEEK AFTER ORDERING
Is it normal that the corresponding trackpads get a input/press when I press the R2 or L2? I don't know what's wrong. Do I have to contact steam support or is this normal?
>>738656278Ah nvm it is intended. For left and right mouse clock. Some games don't need that though
>We're preparing your items to ship.FINALLY FUCKI'm still far away from Amsterdam so I doubt I'll see my package before friday
mine is stuck in status "Packaged items" since last Friday. GABE RELEASE MY FUCKING PACKAGE!!!
>>738631501The rubber on my stick wore off a year and a half ago but I kept using it anyway waiting for the new one to come out
>>738656626Remember Thursday is a holiday in some countries :^)
Gaben, you fuck! Get a better shipping partner!
If you ordered first batch and you still haven't received your controller, I think it's time to have a difficult conversation about the state of your country with yourself.
>>738655061>I want to keep using the old controller but I lost he dongle long ago.I lost my controller long ago, but I still have the dongle. M-maybe we can have sweaty gay buttsex?
>>738656998>I think it's time to have a difficult conversation about the state of your country with yourself.I know the UK is a shithole, but so far this is on the Netherlands.
>>738640180I am using as close to the splatoon gyro implementation as I can with my stick controlling X axis rotation only and having the ability to snap my camera on on a button. Problem is that first person requires much faster camera swings than is comfortable when tracking close targets at high speeds for that method to work reliably which splatoon circumvents entirely with first person and a slower player speed.I really need to figure out how to preserve X axis rotation on left and right of the stick while allowing the rotational spin of the flick stick when holding down. Sadly I don't think it's even possible to hack using steam input. Has anyone tried something like this?
>>738656998The package isn't even in my country.
>>738657107that's gope.
>>738657000Homosexuality is a sin, anon.
>>738657000Sure bro that's a great idea no homo. What's your asl?
>>738657094Have you tried to gitgud with trackball turning?
>>73865718345, male, Nigeria.
>>738657094Just increase your sensitivity. PC gyro can go higher than Splatoon's limit of ~350%.
>>738656998No it's because yuros are lazy fags who who don't work the weekend or past 6pm>"wat? you vant me to dëliver zese boxes? no wey vriend friday is off. Ve have holiday next week tö , bay the wey"
>>738657000I still have my dongle, and my controller, but the controller can't be paired to the dongle, i don't think the dongle even detects, I tried to go through all the fucking hoops to get the old steam UI back but MAAAAAAAAAN, nothing worksthis shit is fuckedlike what am I supposed to do hereI bought one of those magnetic cable things so I just plug a microusb head into the steam controller 1 so I won't destroy the port from plugging it too much
>>738657278Update your firmwarehttps://steamcontroller.tools/
>>738657380It's already the new oneshit just don't work, it just flashes, tries to connect to the dongle, then shuts off
>>738657207I did and eeeeeeh I'm getting mixed results so far. It's more comfortable by again locking to just my X axis but I'm hardly flicking and stopping with any precision yet. Anything within the trackpad region (not leggting go of the trackpad) feels very intuitive though. I find while it's great for snapping to a general area, smooth tracking my cursor around a cover/corners feels very jittery, like you really have to lean on the gyro for that. Analog stick is fantastic for that, so if I could get a method where I could hold my rotation neatly but then also be able to swing my stick down to whip my camera around I really feel like it'd be a winning combination, steam input just needs to let me configure it that way.
>>738657521In that case probably something fucked. Why not use Bluetooth?
>>738657559Bluetooth connection suckslots of misinput and delays
>>738657521Were you able to get the new controller?
>>738631335Crimson Desert. Having extra key layouts helps tremendously.
le packed items face
>>738631335I use a keyboard like a real man
>>738657667ye
>>738657267I don't think you really read what I wrote, I said the splat stick method cant rotate and track comfortably with the speed associated with first person. You either have a nice comfortable turning radius for moving around the world or movement so fast you cant reliably stop on target. Flick stick is the only reliable way to solve both problems I just want to decouple the snapping and spin behaviours.
>>738657817So the old controller cant be detected to the new controllers dongle?
>>738657901I don't think so
>>738657828>I said the splat stick method cant rotate and track comfortably with the speed associated with first personYou shouldn't have to. You should use the gyro for that. Increase its sensitivity beyond what Splatoon can even offer. You're cucking your potential by even considering your secondary camera input whether that be stick or touchpad for tracking.
>>738657929Shame, I was hoping I would have to spend an expensive amount just for a new dongle for the old controller.
>>738658013It's weird, I see this page, but then nothing happens when I try to pair, I might be doing it wrong, or valve might not have implemented it, it does say 2015 so I don't know.
>>738658070Try holding steam+X to pair, could be up to 4 seconds or more. If that doesn't work, steam+A. If that doesn't work, I dunno.
>>738656278How can I change it not to do that for a game? It's distracting me. The trackpad has no use for that specific game anyway.
>>738658013>AIOf course it's wrong. And you can buy a dongle meant for Vive trackers/Index controllers and flash it to the original Steam controller firmware for much cheaper than buying a bespoke OG Steam Controller dongle.
>>738658354The vive dongles ive seen are 30-40 bucks, which is the same amount ive seen some controllers with the dongle on sale for.
I'll try to use Controller exclusively itt, including typing this post
>>738638351I use one back button for key combinations. While it's held, the abxy act as d-pad.
>>738633076Mine won't get here til Thurs. Sincerely, someone who ordered exactly at 10am. The shipping warehouse was apparently in IL so West Coast chads just got fucked. As usual.
>>738631335If you're still on the fence, don't bother as it's a terrible deal for your money.Value are a company of lairs and frauds. They do not deserve your money for their consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>738659179Bait, Valve is among the most consumer-friendly giants in video games, even with gay loot boxes for their games.
>>738659307Wrong. They screwed over the Artifact community without warning or justification. They're the scum of the video gaming industry and are taking everyone for a ride.It's best you boycott them too before they also screw you over.
I'm going to throw it at a range of games and see what happens. I'm not expecting to be very convinced, though. I really only got this to try it out and I don't think it's going to change how I feel about controllers.
>>738659476>Digital card gameIt's your own fault for ever spending money on fake cards.
>>738659476Abandoning artifact with no remorse was a pro-consumer move. Everyone fucking hated it
how do i set up a global default layout, so i don't have to map the buttons for every game?
>>738660240save a layout and shit
>>738660439i tried saving as personal layout and as a template, but it's still per game. the template simply won't show up for other games
>>738660539nah, doesn't have that, you just have to change the layout for every game you play
>>738659307It's more like it's the least shitty.Valve is a bit more intelligent at keeping a good image than most corporations out there by being a little bit more lenient when it matters. They still do scummy shit. They're still responsible for a lot of pain, suffering and misery. It's just they at least know when to stop so their reputation and popularity doesn't sink. And they built a lot of it in the early days too with shit like "if you stole a cd key for Dirt 3, we'll only remove that game from your account despite having these terms", absurdly good sales at some points, providing a lot of services for free (of course with the expectation that you'd buy shit there, but not charging a subscription for something other companies would) and embracing and encouraging modding and open source projects. They just know how to read the room much better than Microsoft, that is all. Whether or not people want to hear it, some of the recent push for Linux is generally beneficial for Valve, people see it as positive that Valve is putting their fingers there and contributing towards open source projects, but they fail to see that a lot of it is just a matter of convenience and an investment on a platform that's going to prop them up further (and it already has).
>>738631335Can I play Fortnite with it?
>>738660690
>>738660781its weird its been an issue since the steamdeck came out but to this day the answer is always load a custom template whenever you boot a game. I guess Valve is just trying to idiotproof it so your controller always "works" when you load a new game even thoug hsometimes its still fucked
>>738657094im not quite sure if im understanding your issue correctly, but have you looked into action set layer? you can add a layer of different controller layout that overrides the original layout whenever you press or hold a button. should be able to help you with interchanging the function of your stick
>>738660741A lot of words to say nothing.Valve is a good company run by reasonable men and they've proven that for close to 30 years now so they have strong brand loyalty. Least shitty implies they are just barely better than the next company in this greedy industry which is laughably false.
>>738660741What a weird way to look at things. Valve supporting Linux benefits EVERYONE, why do you have this view that it's wrong for Valve to benefit from it? This isn't a zero-sum game, things that are good for Valve can also be good for consumers.
>>738660539i think it shows when you go to search tab of the layouts
>>738660539try restarting and check if it reappears. thats a known bug with templates
>>738661451seconding this, I think you can probably set it to the grip trigger too
Tried to play Apex legends with the steam controller gyro, but some real funky shit keeps happening, horrendous drift if I shoot while aiming might be an apex thing, don't know.
>>738663028either recalibrate gyro or make sure youve set it to gyro to mouse and not joystick
>>738663193but isn't the whole point of using gyro joystick that it activates the aim assist?
>>738662629>>738661928the templates i've created showed up after restarting and updating steam beta.they're at the bottom of the list under templates in the layout menuthanks
>>738631501I always like to shill this config I made for Thief Goldsteam://controllerconfig/211600/14
mine just arrived :)
>>738663228if youre fine with clunky gyro joystick controls then go for it i guess. otherwise ami assist just a compromise you have to make because gyro joystick fucking sucks
>>738663348By the time mine arrives I better see publicly available configs for all my games. Thanks for beta testing.
>>738661470They've done a lot of underhanded shit over the years. Some of it even reverted back due to overwhelmingly negative (heh) backlash. They are the kings of digital game distribution in the west and directly responsible for westernizing microtransactions as well which has been a real cancer in the industry, not the opposite.>>738661928>Valve supporting Linux benefits EVERYONE, why do you have this view that it's wrong for Valve to benefit from it?It's not wrong, I'm just stating a fact that pisses people off whenever it's mentioned. They take as much as they contribute.
>>738663228The point of using gyro is that you wouldn't have to rely on crutches like aim assist
>>738663483That's the thing that's funky, I think it just straight up doesn't work, either that or I've got too much interference around me.I'll aim and shoot with gyro, but after combating the recoil for a while, it just starts spinning left or right uncontrollably
>>738663510>stating a fact that pisses people off whenever it's mentioned.>factlolSo you're just posting ragebait
>>738663656try it in a different gamei recommend kovaak's, aimlabs or team fortress 2 tr_walkway
>>738663423grats!!
>>738663794I'll try later, for now I'll just play with my mouse, I was just curious.
i think Gave isn't going to send out my controller anymore today
>>738663656are you using "gyro to joystick" or "gyro to joystick deflection"?
>>738664240idk, I just picked the only popular community layout for apex, and it's got gyro.
I didnt expect to use the trackpads that much but I quickly realized when I alt tab to my second monitor to watch The Sopranos, my controller automatically switches to desktop mode and the trackpads control the mouse. Now I can just bind an alt tab to my controller and swap effortlessly without having to lean forward and switch to km+b.
>>738663729What isn't a fact about Valve having a vested interest in promoting the usage of an operating system where it is just more convenient to use their client and compatibility tools over any other available alternatives?The Decks are practically Steam software sellers for a reason.
>>738664271maybe the layout is just not calibrated the way you expect it to be. maybe its time you try learning to tweak it for yourself
>>738631335Give it to me straight, how shit is the D-Pad?
>>738664165My controller went from Payed to Packed at like 22:00 two days after I bought it, so it's possible the site just hasn't updated.
>>738664440>an operating system where it is just more convenient to use their client and compatibility tools over any other available alternatives?Like Windows, where every gamer uses Steam? lolAt least Linux actually supports controllers out of the box...>>738664410On the 'eck you alt-tab with view+R1
>>738650548retard they didn't lock the door, THERE IS NO DOOR IT'S A FUCKING WALL
>>738664737It's good, better than the deck, but it's not clicky
>>738665194unintended diagonal input status?
>>738664737Not good for fighting as it is hard to hit diagonals but good for platformers
>>738631335Its still “packaged” for me. Gaaaayben?!
Yea boiiiiiiiiiii
>>738665148Windows already comes with the Xbox app installed by default.Every single other client is practically on equal terms with Steam in terms of convenience, but so are pirated games. The vast majority of those ask for just one thing: double click on a fucking .exe. If there's plenty of people moaning on Windows about lack of support outside Steam is because yes, there is a good number of people that don't use Steam or do sparingly. On linux wine standalone is a pure lottery. The reason why linux can brag about compatibility -is- Proton. Lutris, Bottles, Heroic, Faugus, all that bullshit is complementary to Steam.
>>738664737I wonder if it'll be possible to mod the d-pad without soldering. the d-pad was by far my biggest issue with the deck
>>738665979Hang on is the puck separate from the cable?Can you use any usb-c cable?
>>738666190Yes, the controller has a normal USB-C port on it.
>>738666190Yeah there's nothing special about the USB-C you get in the box, the controller and puck both have USB-C ports and you can use it wired if you want (using it with the puck attached is also technically "wired")
>>738631501>tfw the rubber on my originals' stick is pristine since it only got used as a radial menuValve can go fuck themselves for positioning the pads as a secondary input in the new one.
>>738665194>better than the deckThat's not saying much
>>738648717>SISR requires Steam to run.hahahaha
>>738650904>>738650724>>738650647this piece of shit controller is basically more locked down than even shitendo hardware but the valve fangirls are slurping it up
>>738666139Fuck do you mean without soldering
>>738666473you are just embarrassing yourself further and furtherthe beauty of anonymity is that you can just google what DRM is, realize you were wrong, and simply never mention it again without a loss of face since no one knows or cares who you are anywayno need to clown on yourself any further
>>738664410It's one of the sneaky advantages of using Steam Input.
>still sitting at packagedAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>738666852you have to be 18 to post here
why are you guys acting like this is the first controller with back buttons? that's been a thing for like 15 years.
>>738666759take the membrane thing out and superglue a clicky thing instead and wah la, you have a nice clicky dpad instead of a mushy one
>shipped from Illinois>live in Indiana>ordered 2>one delivered on Thursday>waiting for the 2nd one>no update>check Friday>sent to FUCKING PENNSYLVANIA>check Saturday>in Indiana again>no update since... If UPS sent my shit to the wrong state AGAIN, I'm going to claim it was lost/stolen.There is no reason why it was sent to PA when my first one took literally 1 day to get to me.
>>738667224Basically your second one went onto a totally different truck and mailing systems like to fuck around since it's what's most efficient for them, not necessarily for the end recipient
>>738667117The innovation is that they can be bound independently. The overwhelming majority of controllers with back buttons only let you map them to other inputs on the controller, and even then it's usually only the four face buttons. This isn't necessarily the fault of the manufacturers, since it's a limitation of xinput. Valve has the dick big enough to force a new standard on the industry, at least as far as PC controllers go.
>>738667425One of the most stupid and interesting things of the past decade is Microsoft already solved this with GameInput, which supports a dizzying number of inputs completely natively and has backwards compatibility with Xinput controllers, but Xinput still reigns because Microsoft didn't force it like they did Xinput
>>738666852He obviously knows but there's some confusion about this shit anyways.An online account and running client is required to use the controller. The account is free sure, but there's no guarantee that in the event of Valve fucking imploding they're going to release a standalone tool to make the controller still functional with a lack of online access. In an essence you lose the right to use your controller the moment this happens even if it's a fully functional piece of hardware and you did nothing to make it less functional yourself. It's not a normal situation where if something stops receiving driver updates it only stops functioning on newer OSes or whatever, it goes a little bit beyond that.The problem with this is that the same argument was made about digital games on Steam and losing access to them and with how prolific the platform is it's just not reasonable to think that such event is going to happen in a long, long time.
How do I disable LED light? It's distracting
>>738667669how will you know the controller is on without a light?
>>738667487I'd go as far as saying Dinput was better, as long as you aren't retarded. Xinput as a standard is only nice because it's literally plug and play, no configuration required
>>738667284Yeah but the site even says it was a 2 item package. Why you would split them up is just beyond retarded.
>>738667669Same way I fixed my check engine light
>>738668053I hate UPS for a long list of reasons
I've been playing with it for a couple of hours now. It's fucking crazy how customizable it is. I get why the Deck was so popular now
>>738668119It's nutty that this controller's a mild improvement over the Deck in feel, and the Deck already had a good feeling controller built into it.
>>738667839I'll touch right trackpad and see that it moves.Or just the sync light when turning it on.With DS4Windows I could disable the annoying lights on DS4 and DualSense without having problems whether they're on or off. I have attention span.>>738668075For now I put plasticine on top.
>>738667208No neverActually I don't get why people love clicky d-pads so much. I just want something that doesn't get too weird with the diagonals and registers them properly. The deck fails on that because I have to be stupidly intentional with the diagonals. I'm hoping this is better, RGC videos on the diagonals on both tell me that they're different because he highlights the problem I have on the OLED deck, and he shows that the steam controller is the opposite (it has sensitive diagonals)
>>738667548You don't need an account to use the controller.Any application with SDL3 support will pick up the controller without steam running. You can try it yourself with dolphin or rpcs3 today.
Good luck to those who gottem.
>>738668474LTG is retarded and so are you for using a trip.
it's actually nice to use with browser
It's the best dpad.
>>738668560>LTG is retardedHe's just an unc who can't admit to being a rog.>so are you for using a tripI need to as there's too many homosexual weridoes who pretend to be me.
>>738668417Yeah but try to retroactively apply that to a billion games that already came out.I guess eventually we'll have just a tool that translates SDL to xinput or whatever like it's not such a big fucking dealio, but the idea here is that they're providing this big gimmicky thing that has a tool that magically works with most games that's stupidly customizable, but the concern is this tool isn't gonna just become available in a non steam available world and everyone will have to fend for themselves to play some dogshit ol' game with custom gyro controlsAgain unfounded fear as Gabe has too many fucking yachts to be in a situation where this would happen
>>738668624This is first time that actual PC gaming on a couch is viable. This controller completely fixed the bullshit wireless mouse + kb you have to have handy to fix issues outside big picture
I just hope that we'll move beyond 360 pad as the default at some point
>>738668758Please fucking tell me how.I tried to use this on deltatroon as a d-pad on my deck and it was ass and sluggish
>>738668758>>738669084nah, the trackpad is great for aiming and cursors, but it's shit as a dpad
>>738669045Offset sticks are great.
Will there ever be a fix for games that are intolerant of using 2 input methods at the same time (kb+m and controller) so that people won't have to use this dogshit gyro to joystick or whatever to joystick or opt to ditch analog controls for keyboard key bindings
>>738631335is there a good way to use it outside of steam yetsisr is kinda buggy and annoying
How fucking long can it take to drive from the Netherlands to Sweden?
>>738668758Dont know why they didn't add any tactile center or grid engraving to give some feel for this purpose
>>738669578isn't there an ocean in between?
>>738663506The great thing is it's compatible with the 'eck controls so there's years of layouts to choose from.
>>738669332Nope. Any game that can't handle dual input was made that way intentionally.
>>738669760I think this could modded in with some super thin tape or even scratching it a bit with a knife
>>738669760>>738669927funny thing is thats just the steam controller v1
>>738669803American geography education at its finest.
>>738666246>using it with the puck attached is also technically "wired"Does that mean the signal is transmitted through the contacts on the puck and not wirelessly?
>>738669332whats wrong with sticking from kb+m anyways aside from menu icons and some additional effort in tweaking steam input?
>>738670112Puck doesn't actually transmit any information through its contacts, it's a 2.4Ghz receiver and you're slapped up right next to it so you may as well be wired.
>>738670093Worth mentioning it's like that because Valve, at the time, was delusional and thought the trackpads should be some of your main inputs
>>738668978>I guess eventually we'll have just a tool that translates SDL to xinputWe do. It's called Wine.
>>738670136Mostly the additional effort part, but every now and then it's nice to have analog movement available
>>738631335still waiting for it to be shipped
>>738667669I think you can change brightness in Steam's controller settings.
>>738669803Just a sea. Honestly even lake is appropriate.
>>738670247you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
>>738669536Yes. There's a desktop config which you can edit same as any steam game. Been like that for a decade.
>>738667425ah I never had that limitation since I'm a console chad and Xbox let me map them however I wanted over a decade ago.
>>738671456you still on console? lol
>>738671035i tried that but it didnt work with retro arch
>>738671658just use retroarch in steam?
>>738671658Retroarch should detect SDL controllers, no? I know it shits up its back if Steam already grabbed your controller though, I learned the hard way with the Nintendo Switch Online retro controllers.
>>738631335>get the steam controller because gyro aiming looks really cool and my wrist bothers me on twitchy games >turns out I'm a total spaz and shake the camera everywhere if I have it enabledFuck my chud life I guess. At least it has back buttons.
>>738671879Turn the gyro sensitivity down, if gyro is tracking your each and every movement it'll always play like you have Parkinson's
>>738671879>shake the camera everywhere if I have it enabledthink you can do an action set to only have gyro active when you aim
>>738671879What these guys said. You can customize it for exactly what you need. I promise there are options for it, endless options for everything.>>738671954>>738672039

Are Controllers delivered at random or alphabetical order, or something else? I got my order 12 minutes after launch and my controller arrived 2 days later.
>>738672463>something elsehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem
>>738672463ordered mine 13 minutes in, got it on fridayalso my name starts with z
>>738672463Seemingly at random, there's people who bought minutes before it officially went up and still haven't gotten theirs because of mailing foibles
MINE IS STILL SHIPPING FUCK
>>738671865Sometimes you have to rearrange controller order, look up how to do it. If you had 2 controllers plugged in at one time, sometimes the em shit thinks the singular connected controller is the 2nd controller and won't let you do anything.For other anons, has anyone gotten their reservation e-mail yet? I expect it won't happen until weeks from now (restock). Just wondering.
>>738672463I'd imagine it largely depends on the shipping logistics of where you live. Like everyone in Australia just got them early because theres only 2 places people line in Australia
>>738672463my best guess is they shipped in waves based on locationim midwest, also got a first batch order within 12 minutes and mine showed up last friday
>>738671456False. If you mean the elite controller, you can only map those to other controller buttons instead of any keyboard button or in game action.
>>738672298Oh, that works, cool.
>>738672463gaming skill level
What's a good key assignment to easily do rocket jumps in Quake 1/3? Just assign a quick turnaround button on a back button? Strafe jumps are easy enough with the trackpad for mouse movement, but I can't think of a way to do Q1 style bhops.
>>738642930> still waiting for my second one to come in
https://youtu.be/_-WQnEGyxE8Apparently it's a cool FFXIV controller
Anyone with a reservation on the second batch get their email yet?
>>738673128When I played painkiller I used the bottom back button for jumping and the top back buttons for turning.
>>738631501Do you still use it?I just put my PC in my living room for the first time, might give it a whirl if there's any actual support for it.
Canada here, Bought a steam controller right on the minute it came out. it 'allegedly' shipped, however theres no tracking number, at first I thought it was because it shipped out Friday and then the work day ended, but even now on Monday it still doesnt have a number so I have no clue whats going on
>>738667958With dinput being fully modular, I assume that there's no standardization on joystick axis, face buttons and the dpad? Some standard that defines specific enums as specific controller inputs, reserves a couple for future use and gives free reign for the rest would be nice. That way you could have plug-and-play functionality in menus while allowing you to bind any extra buttons.
>>738667669Wait for valve to implement the config menu.
dpad is a huge improvement from the Deck controls, which is the biggest thing I wanted from this. fightan is actually playable
>>738670247>Valve, at the time, was delusional and thought the retards could adapt to a better system than the one they knowftfy (fuck that, fuck you)
>>738671879>>738672137You can also set a mild filter (kind of like a deadzone) to cancel out your shaking.
>>738673128>What's a good key assignment to easily do rocket jumps in Quake 1/3? Just assign a quick turnaround button on a back button?You can do way better than that. You can make a button do multiple things like a macro, like jump look down and fire
>>738674185You'd think so on paper but Input Labs and their Alpakka 2 controller game to, literally, the same conclusion-- you can't replace traditional inputs, use new ones alongside the existing ones. And Input Labs isn't chasing mass appeal or trying to trojan horse the inputs onto normies either, IL is fully committed to getting fucking weird with inputs and proudly announced their controller shells were 3D printed
Scroll wheels should be a standard feature on controllers.
>>738670247I think at the time it was more focused on directly mapping M/KB controls since most PC games had shitass native controller support. With that in mind having a trackpad for a mouse made a bit more sense than a second joystick. No dpad was fuckin dumb though.
>today it changed to this>click tracker link>unfortunately there are no results>it is also possible, that your parcel has not reached us yetOk so where the fuck is my package? Is it shipped or not? Am I getting it tomorrow on day 8 or later? I live in The Netherlands and at this rate the shit I bought online on Saturday is going to arrive before the controller I bought last week on Monday.
>>738675459Tracking info not having any info yet means your controller's still on a pallet or in a shipping craft which the carrier has possession of
>>738675459just have to wait for it to update
How exactly are you supposed to set up Gyro? If you have it Gyro to mouse it just constantly spazes out and switches from keyboard to controller controls all the time and Gyro to joystick feels like shit.
>>738675591*shipping crate
>>738675818>it just constantly spazes out and switches from keyboard to controller controls all the timeThis is a game issue, but it's not without a solution.If the game has aiming as a primary input, I recommend remapping everything to equivalent KBM controls, i.e. Left Stick -> WASD
>>738676038but then the analog being WASD will be less precise
>>738675818This is the essence of the gyro that was advertised here.
>>738676320This, there's always a compromise to using Gyro it seems.
>>738675818Max in-game sensitivity, then dial in sensitivity for thumb stick and gyro.
>>738676453Not always. It works perfectly in games that allow mixed inputs.>>738676320You'd be surprised, it's basically just as good as WASD unless you're playing e-sports and need to corner wiggle or some dumb shit like that.
>>738676453the fix to gyro games is for developers to actually start adding gyro to their games instead of us doing temu gyro
>>738674336This was cancelled, but I think they are working on unannounced collaborations with some other companies. The V1 is still orderable but not to the US. Handheld Legend has a controller with two gyros but its more expensive than the Steam Controller at $175. New Steam Controller is still worse than an Alpakka v1. I don't know why people are not adding two gyros yet. Many companies are switching to the IMU Input Labs used for the Alpakka though so that's something. Having one gyro is like using a really good ball mouse, but its still a ball mouse.
>>738631335>Estimated Deliveryh Date - ThursdayMan, I guess they did tell me 6-10 working days when I was buying so I guess everything is in order still.
>>738669760You can apply a film on it for that, but muscle memory ultimately prevails anyway.
>>738669084Literal skill issue. Train up for 100 hours and tell me it's "ass and sluggish"
>>738677106Yeah this is definitely the real answer.
It's gonna be tomorrowI can feel it
>>738679113Mine isn't even fucking shipped yet and I live like 20 minutes away from the distribution center...
>>738669084It's meant to be a replacement for the right stick not for the dpad, you'll find that for most games there's little use for the left touchpad.If you want one of the touchpads to have a fluid mouse-like movement you can set it up in mouse mode, I like setting the right one like that for first person/third-person games.
>>738679193I was actually surprised it shipped so fastalmost gave up a few times while the topup was not getting through but by the time my clicks went through, it already said 6-10 days
I'll get it eventually...
Mine just got tracking number.Can't wait for it. I love my original steam controller, but lack of d-pad made it unsuitable for many games that require precise input. But this one I can feel will be the ultimate controller.I also like that they went with dualshock analog layout.
I tried MGSV GZ with gyro and it's actually fucking fun to use, despite gyro just emulating analog (doesn't like double input with pad and mouse).Just L2 hold was not to comfortable to me for gyro activation, but holding L4 or holding L2 while touching right stick feel nice.
>received confirmation that the package was picked up a few hours ago>check the status again>pic related????what the fuck?
>finally get it>don't know what games i want to play with italso the usb cable barely fits in my front ports and wiggles around a bit. still get a connection but i'm concerned it'll drop with some movement
>>738680165I had this the other day, it fixed itself after like 8 hours (still no progress however)
on the 4th servers were fucked. reserved at 9:59 on the 8th and still haven’t gotten my email
>>738631335still the king
>>738680049>doesn't like double input with pad and mousei think you might be doing something wrong, pretty sure i played it using both inputs through steam input simultaneously
>>738681001Based, I still use it to this day. Never understood what the little buttons on it are for though.
This is a battlenet launcher gamehow do I play it with the steam controller?

>>738673318Yes but i need caps before it gets worse. Maybe i can open it and replace it too.

>>738688141Mate, you seem to be living under the delusion the Steam controller is identical to a regular controller and the touchpads are decorative or something. Properly configured they’re incredible and we have years of ‘eck posts of proof.

>>738689587>Mate, you seem to be living under the delusion the Steam controller is identical to a regular controller and the touchpads are decorative or somethingI have been using steam controller as my main controller for years. I would still play Noita exclusively on KB+M.Touchpads do improve stuff. I really enjoyed playing Breath of the Wild which I configured to change touchpads into actual touchpad mode when pulling the bow, that is surely more precise than an analog stick. But still Noita requires faster, more precise aim and controllers just can't complete in a game like that.

Some coarse edges.>Needs a redesign on the triggers. I have pinched my finger in the trigger. Never done this with another controller.>Right trigger squeaked out of the box. >Everything is 'pretty good' because nothing about it is particularly excellent.Honestly the PS5 controller is nicer to hold.
>>738693386Adding to this actually...Pros:>The puck is a really neat idea, makes it easy to play + chargeCons:>The magnets on the puck are NOT strong enough to resist pushing a cable in. Make sure you remove the puck before fiddling with cable.

>>738693673yeah that was the supposed nintendtoddlermaybe I was wrong about him actually being one but the spergout over america sealed his fate lmao
lmao
>>738631335is this even worth it if i already have apex digi5 ?
>>738631335>Since everyone who wanted it already got it,EXCEPT ME FOR SOME FUCKING REASON
>>738689893No change in mine lolIt's been 8 days, those fuckers said 3-5 days...
>>738694086>$160oof.after spending that much money already you are kind of locked in unless you got the money to burn.how long have you had it?
>>738694086Only if you have a use case for trackpads or grip sense
>>738694338its only been 5 business days SINCE may 4th anon.when something says business days they are using a terminology that assumes shit ONLY gets done during weekdays.I noticed a lot of anons getting confused by this.My due date is on the 12th.My controller shipped on the 5th.by the 12th it will have been 5 business days since it was shipped.
>>738694086Honestly, probably not. In terms of actual controller quality, you'd probably be disappointed by comparison with your FlyDigi. It's very feature rich, but it doesn't feel as premium as some other controllers.
>>738694564yeah OK that's fair, but if they haven't shipped it by tomorrow I'm going to shake my fist to the skies and make another post on 4chan
Bump.
>>738631335I didn't get one, they sold out :(I'm on the waitlist now, hopefully I'll get one sooner rather than later.
>>738698084i was able to click the reserve button within the first 10 seconds of that going live on the 8th. I saw that restocks were sometime this week, but who knows if all of that is just going to go towards filling already paid for orders from the launch
Anons with the Steam controller, I noticed in OPs picture as well as all the other pictures I've seen the left thumbstick is slightly higher than the right, can you feel or notice this while playing and is it annoying?
>>738633076At least you're fucking getting one on official channels, as a shithole country dweller I'll have to wait for "third parties" (legalized scalpers) to import them for triple the price
>>738699358just get one from amazon (when it becomes available), my myself will get one that way or make a trip to one of my country free trade zone
over 400 replies and barely anyone is talking about their controller configurations
>>738700186I DON'T HAVE IT YET
>>738700186the bulk of controllers going out haven't even arrived yet.shut the fuck up please.
>>738698867I don't see any difference between the 2 thumbsticks
>>738700186Sorry mine comes tomorrow
>Leaf>Steam itself stated that there was going to be a delay in shipping due to a backlog of orders to Canada>Got it todayNeat.
>>738698867you doofus the controller isnt level with the camera.its rotated a bit to the right.
i've been highly enjoying desktop mode for browsan on the couch. the keyboard with both pads is great. mouse, scroll, back button to fullscreen videos, middle click for opening and closing new tabs, Dpad left/right for back/forwards, etc
>>738633076>>738644771REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>738700186NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER
>>738700909did you type this with the controller
I currently have one of those Xbox One/Series X controllers for PC. How is the d-pad on the Steam controller in comparison?
>>738703835xbox dpads are pretty bad so it can't be worse
>>738686906>local deliver niggers>he thinks he's getting anything
>>738704194series x/s dpad is great
>>738703835it's adequate, i really feel like you have to get a dedicated d-pad controller if you care about it.
>>738701386I wish you luck anon. Mine has been in the same city as me since Saturday and it pisses me off, I do however have a delivery date, thank god.
>>738664737Diagonals are oversensitive, which is a shame because it feels really good.
Did anyone here have a reservation get to order yet? Are they still waiting on more inventory or are they getting through the reservations now?
>>738706480Yeah dude, they magically manufactured more stock and teleported it to distributors in 2 days
If you drop it, it will do the Wilhelm scream. This isn't bullshit. Obviously don't drop it on the floor, drop it on something soft like a pillow.
>>738707232>its fucking real
>>738707232I tried to get my controller to make a funny noise but it dindu nuffin.
>>738707232>>738707692https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw5Luf_7F8cOh, shit, it actually is real.
>>738639858>then also how long was that?About 9 months. They were doing Waitlists up until like October or November of the Deck's first year.
>>738689624'owser on 'ontroller, just doesn't have the same ring.
>>738664737I played Tomb Raider 3 for like 4 hours just fine on it. I haven't used it for non-tank control stuff just yet. I should boot up Guilty or Blazblue to give it a real run for it's money, but Guilty was fine on the Deck's pad, so it should be fine here.
>>738674185>He thinks a false D-pad is superior to an actual D-pad.I still own my Controller 1 and say: Fuck you and kill yourself. The fact it only had ONE (1) goddamn stick and the "D-pad" function being shite is why I never touched the Controller 1 past a week (and even told Valve in their beta tester e-mail address specifically WHY I was disappointed).It's part of the reason the Deck got proper fucking controls and they resized the trackpads to not be the main draw.The controller 1 is fine for HTPC or heavy mouse and keyboard titles like Civilization or Starcraft. It's utter SHITE for anything else.
>>738659072Based
>>738700408No, I don't mean the cutout where the holes were cast in the mold, I mean the height of the sticks if you look at them from the side.
>>738707232This sounds like literal bullshit but it's true. Wish I discovered it by mistake
>>738705950YESthey actually just updated now
What's the consensus? Is lack of directx an actual issue? I'm a brainlet so I don't understand the implications but are you locked into playing steam games???
>>738711079Yeah
>>738631335Mine is supposed to arrive today. That being said I don't have any game I want to play with it immediately, it's just that I've been using the old Steam Controller since it came out and it's quite beat up, plus I needed to repair it before as well. It was due for a replacement.
no one has recommended any games to play on this beyond "you can use the trackpads as a mouse for shooters and rts"
>>738686906FUCK YOU FAGGOT, I'M GETTING MINE TODAY!
>>738711149So the track pad doesnt work for navigating windows? Only works in game?
>>738711425The trackpad is a mouse in windows
>>738711079No. It works OOTB on Linux and on wangblows there's tons of 3rd party software you can use to translate it to xinput.>>738711149It's not funny to lie to the less gifted, anon.
WHY AM I STILL IN PACKAGED STATUS FUCKING FUCK I LIVE 20 MINUTES FROM THESE NIGGER FAGGOTS GIVE ME MY CONTROLLER AIIEEEEEE
>>738711454>>738711603Based. I'll buy it when it is eventually available. Navigating windows with xbone controller is aids.
>>738711079>are you locked into playing steam games???No, it just means you need to have Steam open and you have to add the non-steam game to Steam if you want to use a custom control config per that game.
>>738710761Hell yeah dude, the wait is about to be over and we can finally have the peak of PC gaming controllers.
i love my steam controller!>>>/g/108804410
>>738711293>>738686906>>738686590>>738686465>>738686232>>738685654>>738679812>>738679113>shippedcels about to be malding while packedchads are still sitting comfyget on my level, plebs
>>738712946I bet you love dick as well faggot
>>738714485i have a steam controller and you don't.
The carrier still hasn't picked this shit up the 10 day window is a lie
Let go niggers!!
>>738631335I'm still waiting for mine. I ordered on the 4th of this month. Valve and GLS are just so slow, or maybe we're just used to Amazon's fast shipping.
>>738642930>>738643963>>738644165hehe xd
>>738714528did your dad buy that for you after you sucked his dick?
>>738707232should have been able to customize it and give it an anime girl moan. 0/10 unplayable
>>738714878i was just faster than you. sucks to suck.
>>738715075damn you sure are proud of how fast you can suck a cock, your daddy must love you
the gls driver just drove past my house. The package he delivered wasn't for me.it's so over...
>>738716060Not at much as your daddy loves me after I fucked his ass.
>>738716595lmao you fuck old men? you gay and desperate lmao
I think you're both gay if you're this obsessed with homosex.
>>738700186Was supposed to be delivered today but GLS mailed that "we have a delay :(, naybe tomorrow" Niggers
>>738631335>which are your favorite games to play with it?The game where I resell it for 3x the price I paid for it.
>>738716702you wish fag
>>738716817ab halb eins macht jeder seins.
>>738716650>desperateIf was your faggot dad that begged me to fuck him while your mom watched.
>>738716998and you did it like the desperate faggot you are, you fuck old men because you are an incel that cant get women
Just arrived around 12 in the UK.Too bad I still have to work.
something i don't understand about the reviews is that they said that the controller feels cheap but it doesn't. it feels just as good if not better than my xbox one controller.
>>738717086Don't worry I was fucking your mom while >>738716998 was fucking your gay faggot dadthen we swapped
>>738717842Yeah, it's weird. I believed it since the original Steam controller was build like a happymeal toy, but this one feels great. The plastic isn't as cheap as older photos made it look either, it reminds me a lot of a Duelshock 3.
>>738633076lawsuit. considering the controller is going to be nearly impossible to get, you can sue.
>order the controller in hopes of getting it before the release of FH6>still on packaged itemsMotherfuckers, reeeee
>>738719761good. fh6 is just more slop.
>>738719761>packedchadbased
>>738671879On a Steam controller the setup to go for is trackpad + gyro. You use the trackpad for large movement, flicks and swipes and have the gyro set to fairly low sensitivity and probably to only be enabled when you're touching the trackpad, then you use it for fine control on the final adjustments of your aim.I know it might sound strange before you try it, it does take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll be using both of them together very naturally and without thinking about it and this control scheme is only really second to a real mouse.Meanwhile in games where precision and quick aim don't really matter and you just want fast camera control, like 3rd person action titles, you can forego the gyro part entirely and just use the trackpad to whip the camera around way quicker than you can with a stick.
packaged bros, when is it our turn?
>>738672463At most your order time would influence when Valve ships the thing, but after that it's up to the courier service to get it to you. IIRC Valve shipped mine the day after orders opened (I ordered within the first hour) and it was supposed to arrive Friday, but the courier ended up being way slower and it only arrived today in the end, even though Valve shipped it very quickly.
>>738721368Never. We are the eternal waiters, destined to wait until there is nothing left to wait for.
>>738721368It was a lie, they don't have stock anymore and we'll need to wait another year...
>>738668474Don't worry, Dale. I'm sure you'll get one eventually.
>>738679193>>738686906>>738714316Gentlemen:>>738679113 has arrived
>>738722707TIPS ON GRIPS
>>738722707Why does it have a French translation specifically?
>>738723515c*nada
>>738724027good morning sir
>>738721368I'm just gonna reject the package and order one in a few months at this point.Ordering things day 1 is a bargain between getting it early and dealing with potential teething issues (really guaranteed with Valve hardware). With two weeks delay that ain't even worth it.
>>738723409what?>>738723515no idea
what are some cool games that take advantage of the steam controller doohickeys
>>738707232Should have made it the turret freak-out noise from HL2 and Portal.
>>738724475Helldivers 2. MGS5 as well, it just sucks the game won't let you use mouse and control stick input at the same time.
>>738721368I had no previous experience with Valve hardware, but this whole ordeal has left me quite bitter. No indication of when something will ship and no service.Ordered 12 minutes in, and no update whatsoever since the dreaded packaged status. Would have been faster if they just let EU folks pick it up in person.
>>738725523it was the same with the steam deck. they said that they didn't expect to sell that many. it's going to be the same with the controller and the cube and prob the vr headset.
>>738725523I ordered index and got it in a week. Now I ordered steam controller last week and it will arrive in two days.It just werks.t. pole
>>738725769I believe the other two will have the reservation system from the start
>>738726117yeah but the ordering will be just the same. i only got my order in (on the first day) after someone in a /g/ said that you can order them now. said to arrive last week. got it only now. some cities just got removed for some reason. even if i could see them being part of the tracking but that is just gls for you. they should have used ups or dhl in europe.
It's not gonna come this week, is it...
