  Take the screen out of a steam deck and call it a day.

  Almost. Also put the dual stage triggers back in.

  It’s coming, expected to launch alongside the upcoming Steam Machine.

    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.
