Steam Controller

I mean maybe, I can't tell the future. But the first one never took off and sold out immediately either. The steam controller is probably going to be hard to get your hands on for at least 6 months, let alone discontinued in 6 months. Maybe the steam machine will be an overly expensive flop and then

While the finished product was different than what is in the video, it was an amazing change from what standard controllers were at the time. Back buttons. Duel stage triggers. Touch pads!? Plus the ability to modify the controller to do damn near anything you want with key combos, and action sets..

I’m not sure it does. They’ve had a couple successes (Index, Steam Deck) but even more flops that sold low numbers and were discontinued before long (Steam Machine V1, Steam Controller V1, Steam Link) This controller just fills a niche that no other controller really does well

I doubt they will, considering that the steam controller doesn’t get any firmware updates that require changes it doesn’t really need any significant amount of maintenance to keep supporting, its unlikely that valve would have any reason to even discontinue it fully unless they ever make some major

I was waiting for about 6 years, ever since the discontinuation of the first Steam Controller was announced. If Valve had let me reserve a hypothetical future controller back in 2019, I would have. I like touchpad & gyro that much.

On a real note, I wish they (SE and any developers in general) put in any effort to improve typing on controller. There's this example from Killzone from 2 decades ago. Steam had it's own version with the daisywheel that they unfortunately discontinued in favor of trackpad typing (which only really

Well since you can't buy them from Valve and have to source them through ebay or other secondary markets, not a lot of people are 'considering' buying a controller that was discontinued over 5 years ago. I have my Steam Controllers (yes plural) and love them and will use them until I die.

Steam Machines turned into Steam Deck and SteamOS. Steam Controller built the controller API Steam uses, not to mention facilitated the creation of thousands of controller profiles that Steam Deck relies on to make KB&M games work with a controller. Index is on life support sure, but it's supported

The Steam Controller looks bulkier in pictures than it actually is, with it's size being fairly comparable to a PS5 controller. Though, if you are looking for something smaller than an average controller, there are options. Others have mentioned 8BitDo. GuliKit Elves 2 Pro controller is another opti

I feel kind of sorry for Valve. I got the original steam controller (in anticipation of buying an original steam machine! Deja vu....) community support for it was amazing but it's clear it sold poorly enough that they stopped production quite a long time before it was discontinued in public and nee
