The longer the controller has been out, the less hyped I have become about it. At this point, I’m probably gonna end up in the future buying some other controller and calling it good.
Definitely need something better than my PowerA switch controller since I don’t like how the triggers and bumpers are all or nothing, but I’ve basically lost all hype for a Steam controller.
People that require a controller for their living room pc are the target market. Or those that want to prioritize inputs over anything else.
Otherwise, there are many cheaper alternatives. There are also many more premium controller out their.
Scarcity may have saved you from holding a awkward symmetrical sticks controller with two giant trackpads that need SteamInput to be useful.
The deck and this thing will be garbage for couch play. You ain’t wrong though.
I’ve been playing tons of games with this on my couch, currently playing RE9, and I love it. Trackpad + gyro is an amazing combo for aiming with a controller. I’ve been wanting this exact controller for years since I got my Steam Deck andit was worth it, especially for couch play.
My wife uses her Steam Controller for playing games on the sofa via Steam Link on our Apple TV. It’s perfect for it.
If you just want a new controller, look into the Gamesir brand. TMR sticks and hall effect triggers.

It’s a really good controller, if you want trackpads/backbuttons/gyro/etc it’s hard to beat. That said, it is just a controller. If you don’t need those features you can definitely find other options.
