A new Steam Controller gamepad wouldn’t have an entire Steam Deck chip inside, though, so that seems less likely.
Comment on Valve’s next mystery gadget may be imminent

My money is on Steam Controller 2, but what do I know.

That would be a nice accessory for the Steamdeck

yeah the timing is right. I sorta figure they are planning on a sorta back and forth cadence between vr and handheld.

I sure hope so, I love my steam controller but it really could benefit from dual thumbsticks
WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I hope that’s the one. I had to connect the Steam Controller to my Deck though the Dock to play something on big screen and my fingers were fumbling for the difference in button layout and number. A Steam Controller 2 with the same layout as the Deck would be an instant wishlist topper

Controller with 5ghz wifi? Hmm.
tea@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.

Fancy controller with embedded screen and CPU?
Garper@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Don’t be crazy.

Standalone VR!

Integrated Steam Link?
ziggurat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The steam controller 1 already has wifi, its not the only controller that does this, the nvidia shield controller also does. The standard these and a very few other controllers use is called wifi direct, and basically uses an adhoc network to connect. This is seamless for the user.
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sure. Isn’t that 2.4ghz though?
foggenbooty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think it’s unlikely that it’s a controller, but the days of 2.4ghz only are long gone. Sure you can still cheap out on it, but it’s not that expensive anymore. I could see a controller using a chipset that had it.

Valve could be trying their own version of stadia / Luna. Doubtful though. Probably a vr device.

That’s would be really neat for those of us with lots of wireless interference in the 2.4 GHz band. I can’t even really use Bluetooth controllers for that reason.
