Legion Go + Steam Controller = EPIC!!!!! 😆

That random company is called Scuf who were first to put back paddles on controllers back in the Xbox 360 days, it has been owned by Corsair since 2019, Valve was sued in 2021 and lost $4 million. That being said Valve discontinued the Steam controller in 2019 so it had little to do with this, the c

Impressive considering it was removed from Steam over 5 years ago

I bought 4 Steam Controllers because the back piece kept breaking and they stopped selling replacement back pieces. I have a bunch of almost Steam Controllers in a box 😅 When they finally discontinued it, I had to learn to play with just the amount of buttons as everyone else.

Got a Replacement Steam Controller Finally!

There’s an entire community that likes this controller—what are you talking about? That said, I get it. What I really want is a controller with a right trackpad, gyro, and dual-stage triggers. If someone made one like that, I wouldn’t stick with the Valve Steam Controller, especially since it’s disc

What controller do you use when connected via the deck?

Nice to know the track pad works. Not many options for that since they discontinued steam controllers

Testing a Controller with bare bones keybinds.

They stopped selling steam controllers didn't they? I was thinking of getting one at one point but they seem very discontinued sadly. They've sorta replicated it on the deck, but yeah.

Do you agree as someone who has a variety of consoles?

And the steam controller (now discontinued, I think) with weird dpad and and touchpad instead of right stick.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process

Don't forget last time, how they had to liquidate their stock by selling them for 5 bucks each. https://www.theverge.com/good-deals/2019/11/26/20984123/valve-steam-controller-discontinued-sale-price It's hard to judge a market, and in a way, having made money but not as much as possible due to not m

Steam Controller being scalped for more than double its price is a bad sign for upcoming Steam Machine launch

I'm content to wait to buy an SC from Valve, and I'm fully aware that I don't need any controller, or even video games in general, but... I've been playing games with my Steam Controller (2015) for a decade now. Touchpad and gyro is the only way that I play FPS games, and has been the only way I pla

What about the steam controller has everyone so excited?

oh sorry u/JustAReallyTiredGuy, autocorrect played me. I tried to say that they "killed" not "liked" it, and I meant the old steam controller. I've played with it for years now and really abhor the idea that it will stop working at some point, and the longer it takes for it to fail the harder it wil

Force Feedback on a controller?

Unless you are a console manufacturer like Nintendo or mimicking a real-life object you are not going to get any attachment rate for a novel input method. Heck, Valve had all the money from Steam and the Steam developer community to get the Steam Controller popular but that failed and it has been di
