I hope the build quality is better on this one. My old one got worn out relatively quickly.

moar touchpads!!!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

Some functionality that keeps me using the Steam Controller has been touchpads for movement, quick gadget swapping with touchpads, quick 180s/gyro activation with touchpads.

I use it to play games like Doom Eternal, Left 4 Dead 2, Spin Rhythm XD, The Finals, etc.

Sadly I don't find myself doing the same on the Steam Deck opting for the joysticks instead, since I don't find the placement, smaller size, square versus circle, and flat surface versus concave offering the type of consistency that I use the touchpads for on the Steam Controller. It feels more a touchpad appropriate for slow paced games or just desktop navigation than optimal for the way I use the touchpads on the Steam Controller. And I don't see Valve delivering on the touchpad end that I would like with the next Steam Controller with all the inputs it would be fitting in.

Fingers crossed for Joystick #2

Still using my Steam Controller every day, with two in reserve. By far my favorite gaming controller, simply because of those touchpads. I play a lot of turn-based strategy and doing it from the couch is sublime.

If Steam Controller 2 has touchpads and does something better than SC1, I'm probably in (dependent on pricing).

The Next Steam Controller will release together with Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3 (This time with anticheat)

Is that before or after Left 4 Dead 3?

Ive been waiting for the next version of their vr. if it works with glasses almost a guarantee buy for me.

I didn’t realize my Rift S was too close to my lenses for a while 🙃 so now I use my previous scratched glasses so my scratched lenses don’t mess up my regular glasses. Would definitely appreciate a headset that works with glasses!

yeah its like its great if it takes lenses but I would like something I could use right away with little rigamorole.

BigScreen makes a vr headset that is Index compatible, about 150 grams, higher resolution, custom removable/swappable face cushion, and custom removable prescription inserts. Costs about $1000 USD for only the headset. It also doesn't have AR passthrough. If it cost a little more and had AR passthrough, I would be saving up for it now.

So please be as great as version 1. I need two new ones
