People don't know what the Steam Controller is

Third-party PC controllers are better now than they've ever been, and are extremely affordable. The value proposition of the DualSense Edge and Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 fell off a cliff when brands like GameSir and 8BitDo came onto the scene, where they offer infinitely more than the Xbox and

is there a way to play games outside of steam with the new steam controller ? not adding them as non steam games

Genuine Question, why are people so excited about a controller?

At least on my side, it's because the only other controller that could have been capable of the features I like (gyro, back buttons, remapping capabilities, touchpads, and so on) was the DualSense Edge .. and I can't really find myself justifying the DualSense Edge for its price and the fact that it
