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

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

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!?

Apart from all the technical differences mentioned in the other reply, their software solutions also get regularly flagged as potentionally malicious or harmful. Whether that's real or just a digital signature issue, I'd be happy to pay $20-30 more just for the peace of mind of having a guaranteed s

The Original Steam Controller (TOSC) is not made anymore. Speculation of discontinuation ranges from low sales to legal issues (buttons). Users have been asking for a "Steam Controller 2".
