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

C'mon valve my wallet's so heavy
moar touchpads!!!
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).
Hope for Hall Effect joystick
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?
LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
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.
Mine two steam controllers are still used almost daily, but they are showing there age in wear and tear.
So please be as great as version 1. I need two new ones
