Take this with a pinch of salt as you always do with leaks, but it appears Valve may be prepping a Steam Controller 2, along with a new controller for their Deckard VR kit as well.

      Imma need you to expand this answer.

      I don’t care for controller gaming much, but this one didn’t strike me as notably worse than amy other.

        Bad shape, poor feel and quality, and the track pad takes up too much space for a hack.

        Limited official game support made it a detection nightmare and caused quite a few games to register it as m&KB.

        Haptics on PS5 are also much much better.

          I do hope the shape is improved. The main reason I sold my og steam controllers is because I couldn’t figure out how to hold them comfortably. My steam deck feels amazing in hand though, so I hope it’s like that 🤞

          A 5 year older controller is obviously going to be worse ,but the game support is valid

      Idk why you are being down voted it’s true. It was a plasticity nightmare. And I don’t understand how people liked the track pads. There’s a reason a carry a mouse with my gaming laptop because there’s no way I’m going to play a fps with a track pad

        The gaming community for whatever reason mostly has hard on for value. Despite them rent seeking and being a generally shitty company where it matters.

        Paid betas killing discs…yay steam!
