@@hornantuutti5157 technically it's a PC, but for all intents and purposes it's a console. It has its own proprietary OS which is completely dedicated to running games and nothing else. That's no different than a PS5 or an Xbox. Actually, the deck is even more of a console than those two, since it doesn't have netflix, Amazon Prime or KZbin apps. The only difference is that it's jailbroken from the factory. If you want something that you can unambiguously call portable PC look at the Windows based steam deck competitors, those are 100% portable PCs.

[@OmairArif]

"patent troll company". Just name and shame them, it was Corsair. Corsair through SCUF had an insanely broad patent on having inputs on the rear side of an input device, despite them not being the first to do so on a controller (they weren't even first to do it on a 360 controller, the modding community was). The lawsuit had nothing to do with Valve's specific implementation of the paddles, but rather their audacity to not pay Corsair a licensing fee to include them like Microsoft did for every Elite controller they sold. Valve eventually won an appeal on the lawsuit by proving prior art exists, which invalidated Corsair's patent. That's why the available options for controllers with rear paddles has exploded so much in recent years, Valve paved the way for it by not playing ball with Corsair.

[@donniedarko4497]

I have a steam controller that was gifted to me many years ago. Hardly used it, but just yesterday I saw it in an old box. Since I've been playing steam deck since Q1 launch, I can now appreciate what the steam controller brings to the table and I'm going to dig it out and game on it after work.

[@サイバー狼]

@@ekinteko I would prefer if it was pretty much the steamdeck minus the screen.

[@ekinteko]

@@サイバー狼 But then it wouldn't be much like a controller-shape (eg Sony DS5) ...and it would be more long-rectangular and be somewhat compromised. The reason why the SteamDeck, as it is, works. It is because you need to accommodate for the fans, processor, and screen. It is a compromise. But also when saying this, the screen is also an input mode. That is why it works.

[@JoachimVampire]

@@ekinteko what's "controller shape"? The deck itself is super comfortable for me (except the screen that kills my eyes) so I wouldn't mind a longer controller either, as long as the shape is comfortable around the hands the overall length of the controller itself isn't important, you'll get used to it, specially if you find the steam deck's controller confirtable

[@carlosbarreto4695]

Some people say that a Steam Controller 2 should be just the Steam Deck without the screen... I agree with that... _Partially._ I don't think the Steam Deck's controller is the final stage of controller evolution history. I think they should take the Steam Deck's controller as the _base_ and then work on it to make an even better controller. Features I would like to see being added: * Six face buttons (C and Z buttons added); * Dedicated *circular* D-pad; * One additional bumper button (L1 and R1 are big buttons, so it would be like they were divided in half); * 2 additional rear buttons; * Hall effect joysticks; * A connection at the base of the controller to attach an accessory mini keyboard for typing.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Circular d-pads are terrible though.

[@extremepayne]

I would like the *option* to swap in a “soap dish” d pad, but it probably shouldn’t be the default. And just slapping more buttons everywhere haphazardly seems like a less refined solution than we already have, tbqh

[@DragunBreath]

Really hope that they are making a new steam controller and that it uses the deck's layout. Been wanting one ever since I got my deck. It's the only modern control layout that I am able to easily play 2d games using the d-pad and 3d using the sticks due to their postions.

I feel like there is a huge opportunity to include really good haptics and some form of resistance triggers like the PS5 controller, and simulate dual stage, 3 stage, or full scroll wheel action on the triggers

[@Chaphasilor]

I really hope Valve is cooking up some form of haptic triggers. Ideally resistance-based, but that might be hard to pull off with Sony's patents in place. Not only could they support PS5 console ports, they would enable a host of new Steam Input options. It would also be way more flexible than having physical buttons.

[@BigDeal0716]

That was a huge thing for me, i had started play some games that were M&K only and i had mapped controls perfectly to the steam deck’s controls, but when id dock it and play with my xbox controller id have to remap everything and make up some crazy stupid button combo keybinds in order to have access to certain controls. Because even if controllers have back paddles 99% of them are just reprogrammable buttons, and aren’t recognized as their own buttons in steam os (or any os)

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

As someone with both the Steam Deck and a Steam Controller, the Deck improved a lot on the ergonomics of the controller design. I've wanted to see those improvements come back to a new Steam Controller ever since the Deck launched.

[@evergaolbird]

Been an owner of the Steam Controller for 5 years now and I have an 8bitdo Pro 2 Gamepad. 90% of the time its my Steam Controller while the Pro 2 is exclusively for Elden Ring. I have more issues on the 8bitdo (fixed by constant firmware updates though including the stick drift glitch) than my Steam Controller. I'm happy that Valve is making a new one.

[@xeridian]

BLUETOOTH is also a lower line level input. Never sounds as good or as loud as other methods. It tends to have its bitrate compressed for performance purposes.

[@Slamz369]

My wish was that it was one of the dev controllers they showed off, two big track pags (before they added the cross on the left) & D buttons instead of the thumb stick.

[@stevethepocket]

I haven't had an opportunity to use a Steam Deck, but one thing I hate about my Steam Controller's trackpads is the haptic feedback. It's not strong enough for how much noise it makes. I think they made the mistake of sandwiching the click button between the pads and the haptic motors, causing the buttons to dampen the effect like a shock absorber, forcing them to increase the motor strength to compensate. In contrast, Apple's old Mighty Mouse had a fake trackball that used haptic feedback to simulate the detents you'd get in a traditional scroll wheel (except much closer together than would ever be physically possible) and it felt great, no noise. And they were able to pull that off because it wasn't clickable. The only button was in the base of the mouse. Valve could achieve the same effect by just putting the click mechanism under the haptic motor.

[@LeoTelles]

finally someone as excited as i am about this. I wish more games on pc have the option to use gyro aiming by default. Some people just hate it, but it's just a matter of disabling it.

Dual stage triggers with longer analog pull, 4 back buttons, better trackpads, gyro without the 2.4ghz dongle, lots of stuff like that.

Personally what I’m looking forward to more than the trackpads on a new controller is the back buttons. I have an 8bitdo ultimate, but its back buttons can only be used as one of the existing controller buttons, you can’t map them as a keyboard key.

[@MangoPanic]

Every time I pick up another controller and need to type something, I instinctively reach for trackpads that aren't there haha. Controllers are far simpler to use for games with lots of randomly assigned buttons to remember Imo. Not to mention it's far more comfortable and immersive for me to lean back with a controller in hand. Getting away from the keyboard makes me forget I'm sitting at a PC

[@hmskrecik]

Steam Controller is the first controller in my life. In fact I learned how to play on pad with this one. I love it and I want to love it, but it's hard. It's main problem is lack of right thumbstick. I tried I believe all possible settings of the touchpad and none cuts it (don't advice me on this please). There is just this not-right responsivity model compounded by lack of tactile feedback where the neutral point is. For lots of games it can be ignored or mitigated somehow but for some it's just a showstopper (to me, Dark Souls and Batman Arkham, playable, yes, but without good camera control not comfortable enough). My prediction is if Valve relases SC2 without right joystick, it will fail.

[@skycloud4802]

I hope the new controller has all the same inputs the Steam Deck has. I want nothing compromised.

[@juanitovonbumblepantz7252]

I really hope your info is correct. You say you hated playing on K/M, I always hated playing with a *gamepad* because I want that fine tuned control & accuracy of a mouse. I never knew I hated playing on a K/M also until I got the Steam Controller! K/M controls for movement is so herky-jerky it is laughable to me now. Using the trackpad give me quick, intuitive reaction speed for mouse movement and the Gyro makes fine aiming & sniping more fun and immersive in gameplay. The SC has also has changed my PC & gaming experience by untethering me from my computer chair without using a K/M in an awkward way.

To this day, the Steam Controller is the ultimate controller. I initially hated the hell out of it because I didn't understand Steam Input, but thanks to RambleCan and his immense knowledge of Steam Input make the controller the best. Since I got the hang of it, granted, it took me a few months of patience and practice. I can't ever see myself using another controller. I hope Valve learns from their internal mistakes on the controller, such as the shoulder buttons breaking because of its flimsy tension arm. Other than that, it's a God-tier controller for those who are willing to break themself just to relearn how to use this controller. In all honesty, I do prefer the original layout. There are many times I rarely use the trackpads in games on Steam Deck, mainly for their positioning, and niche configurations that are not worth re-adjusting my hand placement. Steam Controller is superior to traditional layout (XBox and PS Controller), and the comfort allows me to play for hours or days without feeling fatigued. I am glad I picked up one with the Steam Link box for about $20 together before being shortly discontinued. I'm already sold if the new controller is similar (I miss the dual-stage triggers). It's a shame the Steam Deck doesn't have it, but it's up for the paddles on the back. Still, it isn't the same.

first minute in. actually, I dont like calling it steam controller, because its not the steam controller. Its product name is "Horipad For Steam". Hori is the brand name, "Horipad" is their line of gamepads. Then they basically tack on "for " to distinguish their products ie Horipad Pro For Xbox. Calling the "Horipad for Steam" a "steam controller" completely breaks that, and causes confusion; enter "we have steam controller at home" meme. It would kind of be like generalizing the dualshock 4 and dualsense to both just being "playstation controller". A better naming compromise would be "steam horipad". same number of syllables as "steam controller", but is more accurate to what it actually is and is even easier to type out. lacking trackpads is just an additional point; calling gamepads that dont have trackpads the "steam controller" basically squeezes trackpads out of the conversation. congrats normies, you won. no more controller innovation.
