What premium gift would you get for a Steam Deck lover who’s already well-equipped?

I have the Deckmate stuff by Mechanism, and I really like it - it’s basically a little bracket that attaches to the back that you can then attach accessories to, like a kickstand or gaming pillow. The gaming pillow is pretty neat - it was kind of a luxury purchase, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised

Starfield is coming to PlayStation 5 on April 7, enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro, with a Visual mode that runs 4K resolution at 30 fps and a Performance mode that features improved visuals at 60 fps.

On top of that, in-game audio logs and non-local ship intercoms will pour through the DualSense controller speaker, immersing you deeper in the action. Starfield has also been visually enhanced for the PlayStation 5 Pro, with a Visual mode that runs 4K resolution at 30 fps and a Performance mode tha

PS5 controller makes playing feel difficult

I just bought the PlayStation five digital last week and I’ve been a long time Xbox player. The dual sense controller at least for me is a way better controller. It doesn’t take long to get used to it at all. If anything the dual sense is one of the biggest Wins of the console. It’s just awesome.

Testing PlayStation DualSense DIY Homebrew Dongle for P.C Gaming!

Since Sony PlayStation won't make an official dongle of their DualSense controllers for PC, so i made one for myself instead and it is fantastic! Thanks to Raspberry PI PICO 2W as well as the software that is developed by awalol, i don't have to deal with Bluetooth that has terrible latency whenever

Sony Patents Controller With Deformable Buttons To Let You Twist, Pitch, And Feel Gameplay

I don't own a PlayStation so I unfortunately can't play Astro Bot, but the footstep haptics in FFXIV is some of the coolest stuff I've experienced with my DualSense controller. Incredibly immersive. I've also been playing Arkngiths: Endfield quite a lot since its release earlier this year, almost ex

Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99

100% accurate. PlayStation was the FGC standard for generations and, at a professional level, specific hardware matters less than the thousands of hours you've clocked building muscle memory with this exact hardware. Professional gamers also replace controllers like runners replace shoes (go look at

you can add it to your cart

I don't understand the comparison with the DualSense controllers. Don't forget that PlayStation controllers have haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Two things the Steam Controller lacks that really change the experience. At worst, you can get a DualSense for €50, or buy some TMR controllers on A

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

None of the controllers "have " Steam Input. Steam Input reads them as HID devices before translating. It doesn't matter if it was made natively for Steam. If you're talking about controllers that have the best support, there's of course the ones made by Valve, but also the Xbox controllers, PlaySta

Tried DualSense haptic feedback with Rift Apart, not fully convinced. Is Returnal a game changer?

As someone mentioned, the DualSense is a PlayStation controller. You get the full package if you use it with a PlayStation 5 or 5 Pro.

Which is better for mac steam gaming, Ps5 duelsense or 8bitdo ultimate 2?

The dual sense has better input lag but I use my ultimate for native games. If I am running a PlayStation emulators, it’s dual sense all the way.
