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.
Remember the long-swirling rumors about Valve’s standalone “Deckard” VR headset, the one that could be an inexpensive Meta Quest-like wireless alternative to the aging Valve Index?
Based on the patents and code leaks, AND the price of the original Index, I’d highly doubt the Deckard will be “inexpensive”.
I daresay it will be indeed, very expensive
Who TF is thinking about fire emblem roy lmfao, or should I say roy from Smash since binding blade is so irrelevant
hell yeah. If its deck controls as a standalone controller it will easily become my daily driver. except not actually daily because of work and shit…
I’m really happy to hear that, I still have and occasionally use my steam controller, I quite liked it.
Completed stray with it and a steamlink.
