The leak comes as the devices are prepared for mass production, so these are coming soon.

    If I strictly apply rule 1, this should be removed. But at the same time, after talking with OP via PM, it is true that it is still kinda related to games.

    For now I’m gonna keep it, but an update to the rules is needed, to better define and explain them.

    Edit : After a night of sleep I have to admit I was mistaken here.

    Still, I’ll talk with the other mods about better defining the rules, I feel like it is needed.

      “Still kinda related”

      Please, Lord, let me never become a moderator, keep my reasoning intact.

        Moderating isn’t as easy as it seem from the outside, and sometimes you can make mistakes, especially when tired. 😅

          I know and don’t mind the jokes, you folks are doing a good job on communities that I follow. I started “teachers” and “education” subreddits a lifetime ago with a free-speech-absolutist mindset and quickly realized that they become a cesspool without someone grinding through reports 24/7.

      I’m a stickler for content appropriateness, but even I can see how a game company’s gaming console is related to gaming.

      As a user this is content I would expect to see in this community and if the rules need clarification they should include posts like this.

      Reading the notes in https://lemmy.world/post/2536430 (linked in the sidebar),

      This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

      This post certainly relates to gaming, which to me means as currently worded fits rule #1.

    They need to make sharing controller presets easier. Like MASSIVELY easier.

    I cannot emphasize this enough. Let users send controller profiles and attach them to forum posts, etc.

    This is needed desperately because navigating presets is straight up busted. Currently it just promotes whatever has the most users, which is whoever published first.

    Doesn’t matter if there is an objectively brilliant control scheme for Resident Evil 5 or something, nope, you’re using the first layout published by GoonerMaster69 in 2014 or whatever.

    Both these factors make using the steam controller a chore. It’s incredibly powerful, but setup is a fucking CHORE. I love it, but making it work well is always me tweaking for way too long, or using g the suboptimal poorly named presets at the top of the list.

    The RE5 example is real. RE5 is amazing with the steam controller if you have a trigger full pull mode shift to mouse input so you can have perfect accuracy with no acceleration. But try finding this in the preset list.

    Assuming it’s just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo’s offerings?

      Track pads and gyros are major features of the first Steam Controller that were brought forward to the Deck, and they can be game-changing for certain genres that have typically never controlled well on traditional controllers.
