I can't wrap my head around the capacitive touch based gryo activation, both in how it is meant to function, and even why you would want it to work via grip detection at all.

they doubled down on the same flaw as the first steam controller: huge haptic pads 99% of people will never use that take up two thirds of the design space. at least this one has a second analog stick so I can use it to play past 5th gen emulation, which is the only thing I use my OG steam controller for anymore.

I just checked. There's some github shit you need to get yuzu hooked to the og steam controller. So Eden/citra and Dolphin devs will have to give a shit about the new controller if we want gyro support. oh well. steam controller for desktop navigation and gyro as mouse aim, and ds4 for emulators.

Steam deck hype beasts are true for this one, these controls + gyro feel much better than any analog stick.
If you can learn how to use it and tweak settings for like 10 minutes you can effectively play quake 1 and other fps that feel like shit on a thumbstick while laying in bed taking a shit in bed etc

I doubt that. Valve doesn't really need to make profit on this since they have Steam. They could price it at the cost of parts which would probably be like 60 max. For reference DS4 cost like 20 bucks to produce so I doubt this is more than 3 times expensive.

Gaben and Valve don't really do low or negative margin products. We're talking about a company that not only downsized but completely killed their wildly successful Dota 2 Battle Passes citing that their hundreds of millions in profit were nothing compared to what they earn through Steam daily. Even when the Deck first came out, Gabe was grumbling about its price point being too low.

It's so you don't need to have gyro on all the time and have the camera move if you change position or something. Similar to the capacitive joysticks on the Deck, but arguably better since now the gyro won't be active unless you explicitly want it to and you can just use the stick without gyro. Also, you don't have to use it that way. You can make anything you want activate the gyro with Steam Input, or make the grip detection do something else like change control mapping layers.

>>725663597 said. Also, the back is already full because of the back buttons. If you're worried about comfort due to the admittedly unwieldy looking design, don't be. The Deck is really fucking comfortable, literally melts into your hands, and this is basically the Deck with the screen ripped out and the inputs tilted inwards slightly.

yes, I use the og steam controller with mostly touchpad. left pad for left joystick right pad for mouse or right joystick. Not all games support gamepad + mouse input but games like days gone are great. beamng works fantastic and souls games are good too. Nier Automata, red dead 2 and gta works well. There are issues and you have to adjust things but the potential is there.

No. It looks like the trackpad is on an inclined part of the pad. You can see the edge of it highlighted by the light.
So the trackpad is in a depression and the joysticks are on a raised part, on top of the fact that they are on sticks too.

I wanted to like it so much, but I ended up never actually using it all that much.
The custom programming software that came with it was absolute dogshit to use.
If developers didn't release their own custom Steam controller bindings for their game you were out of luck.

Meaning they killed an anti-consumer service because they didn't need the money from it. So they might pull a pro-consumer move and sell the controller for cheap.
>Even when the Deck first came out, Gabe was grumbling about its price point being too low.
From what I remember he said "getting it to this price point was painful" or something to that effect. Means they got it to a low margin price point.
Also, I really don't see this costing significantly more than 50ish bucks to make. As I said, DS4 was 20 bucks and I don't see this costing more than 3 times as much to make at the absolute maximum. They could sell it for 70ish bucks and still make some decent profit.

I do. I own a Steamdeck and it is the single greatest way to interface with a game other than keyboard/mouse. This is a day 1 purchase. Hopefully Valve lets you buy multiple because I want at least 4 on launch so I have backups when they eventually die in 10 years and are no longer for sale.
Blessed be Gabe for taking from the rich to give to the poor with the Counter-Strike skin rework because my old inventory of CS skins went from about 50 bucks to $1913.95 in value (made so far selling) so I have a ton of free space bucks to use to buy controllers, the mini-PC or the Steam Frame.
God I love being a PC gamer. I can't wait for SteamOS to be good enough to ditch Windows on my main PC (5900 FE).

Buttons look better.
Triggers, bumpers, grips. All look better
I am a bit skeptical of the trackpads. I'm concerned my palm pads are going to contact while using analogs. but we'll see.
If the ergo is fine I'll easily be grabbing 3 more of these bastards after the first.

>don't even let you use mouse and gamepad at the same time
plenty of older games are like that too. you can just set steaminput to send keyboard keys instead of gamepad buttons...

Buttons look bad, specially the dpad.
The touch seems like a meme, useless in 99% of games.
I'll wait for reviews.

You realise this is a good thing right? Your thumb has to travel less from its resting position to hit the buttons

They're trying to appeal to the console market who will never switch to a full fledged PC because they're scared of technology.
Also practical for parents and the like since you don't have to pay extortionate online multiplayer fees and you can let them play your games through family sharing.

Isn't the thumb's natural resting position at more of an angle, as opposed to being straight up against the index finger?
>>725657262 (OP)
The thing I absolutely can't stand is the fucking crooked trackpads.
Just looking at it makes my blood boil.
LOOK AT IT
>inb4 muh ergonomics
I DON'T CARE IT LOOKS AWFUL
the angle on this shit looks totally nuts
