Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD

A little bit high but I'm ok if it lasts longer than an Xbox controller.

Steam Controller Pcgamer Review : 83/100

i read one review that said it’s ergonomics aren’t great, likely due to hand size. my hands are small (i wear child sized gloves) and the xbox controller is really uncomfortable for me. but my OLED steam deck is real comfy. idk

Steam Controller Price Leaked By Early Review - and It’s Expensive

If it comes with a solid warranty period i might go for it. It seems pretty close to an "end game" pc controller to me and a big upgrade from my 5 year old xbox wireless controller. How good the track pads are is my biggest concern.

Just watched the latest Wan show and found this post amusing. Not confusing at all.

Dome Keeper Multiplayer Playtest Info

Straight away it appears to be incompatible with my Xbox Wireless controller. It's been the only way I've played Dome Keeper since the beginning and I've never had any issues, but in multiplayer it is very unresponsive to inputs. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Never had an issue with either of those things in 5+ years of using Linux (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Garuda and EndeavorOS) and 7 months of daily driving CachyOS (Arch based which is sometimes known to have issues with pipewire and Bluetooth, which I'm yet to encounter).

Controllers

The Playstation controller has changed drastically more than the Xbox controller ever has. There were really only ever two big changes with the Xbox controller: the Duke to the slim, and the original Xbox to the 360. The Xbox One gamepad is just a minor change to the triggers shapes, impulse trigger

Controller collection

This is a nice collection. I only have the Xbox Wireless controller 20th anniversary and the Starfield one myself. Be wary of the battery doors small tabs. They can break off if the battery door sits too tight when you try to take it off. One of the tabs on my Starfield controller broke off and I ha
