It’s coming, expected to launch alongside the upcoming Steam Machine.
Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought

I can wait for 2028, but how about giving us a Steam Controller 2? Take the screen out of a steam deck and call it a day.

This one I’m excited for. A Steam Machine would be great, and my biggest gripe with controller play on my desktop is the missing trackpads mean Steam Input didn’t work. There are games that I choose to stream to/play on my Deck over using my 1440p 32" screen on my gaming rig because I don’t have Steam Input on my desktop.

You know there’s a funny workaround here - stream the game from your PC to the Deck over Steam Remote Play while keeping that PC monitor on, and then use the Steam Deck only as a controller while looking at the big screen. It will add a bit of latency to controls, but it’s surprisingly not bad

What do you mean? steam input works as long as you have steam, your controller doesn’t matter unless it’s a really really rare unsupported controller

I mean using the Track Pads, often for things like radial menus. A lot of PC games need more inputs than exist on a controller.

Yeah. I have a Steam controller that I’d use if it had 2 thumbsticks. The touchpad is okay for controlling the cursor but otherwise it’s annoying.

I love the thumbpads

This would be great, I recently used a regular xbox controller for the first time since I got my deck and it felt so small and all the buttons were in the wrong place and it made me mad.

Almost. Also put the dual stage triggers back in.
