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).
I hope they improve on the following
- The touchpads and paddle “clicks” are way too noisy
- An actual D-pad
- ABXY buttons less mushier
- USB-C port for charging
- Similar to Steam Deck layout
- A place to store the USB dongle inside the controller when not in use
- Better rumble
I switched to an 8bitdo controller with hall effect joysticks since, but I do miss the touchpad’s precision for FPS.
The clicky-ness of the touchpad, paddles, shoulder buttons etc. is one of the things if absolutely love about the OG Steam Controller
Their clickyness in themselves is good and responsive, it’s just that it’s too noisy to my taste.
Yes to all this. I picked up my original Steam Controller the other day and forgot just how crazy loud that thing is.
The only reason I stopped using mine was because the membrane that makes the ABXY feel mushy eventually went and I couldn’t find a suitable replacement.
If they put in some sort of mechanical switches there so that this couldn’t happen, I would probably never use anything else.
Why were you using haptic vibrations on touchpads? I switched them off the moment I discovered I can, they are really annoying
It feels like it’s missing something without rumble…
- Native support for games - have it use the Xbox or PlayStation profile
- Don’t require that abysmal Big Picture mode for remapping, custom layouts, etc.
Onboard remapping profiles would be nice, I use them on my 8bitdo controller and I can toggle them on-the-fly.
I personally remap the paddles mostly, but still.
I hope the rubber or whatever on the sticks doesn’t turn gross & sticky with time like the original.
yaaay, i hope so
C’mon valve my wallet’s so heavy
I hope it has 2 pads and 2 sticks, like the deck! The only think I didn’t like about the original was having to use the right pad instead of a stick.
Once you switch the stick to a DPad and use both touchpad it really opens up
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?
Fingers crossed for Joystick #2
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
Yaaaaas! I’ll take 2!
moar touchpads!!!
Wish they’d do another run of the OG Steam Controller. I love it, but finding replacements is a costly business these days. Can’t even send it in for repair because they don’t produce the parts anymore.
As long as the scalpers don’t take em all… still pissed they ran out of their final sale of $5 steam controllers. All the time hoping that Steam would come out with a next generation.
Please make it feel less cheap than all your other creaky plastic stuff, Valve
And yet, my Steam Controller has outlasted 2 Dual Shocks
Happy for you
