Steam Frame is their new VR headset (not an Index successor, more a Quest competitor).
Steam Machine is their pc.

That looks uncomfortable to hold ngl.
Steam Frame is a PC, and runs SteamOS powered by a Snapdragon® 8 Series Processor.
I’m more excited about this tbh. It’ll be quite something if Valve ends up solving the firmware problems of Linux on snapdragon powered phones.

Yeah, but they said the frame is a complete pc as well

And Valve literally say on the Steam Frame website that it has a desktop mode running Plasma, just running on an ARM processor instead of x86, and can be used as stand alone PC.
Not sure I wanna blow battery charge on editing spreadsheets in LibreOffice in VR but it’ll be possible.

I’m not worried. Valve absolutely nailed the Deck ergonomics. They knew what they had to do here.

Yeah, people had said the same thing about the Steam Deck’s face layout, but everyone who has actually used one loves the ergonomics.

I need to hold one because I see it and it looks awkward, but I have heard what you’re saying from pretty much everyone with one. 🤷♂️

As someone who loved the idea of the original steam controller but found it uncomfortable to hold, the steam deck really does feel stellar in the hand. Most similar to an Xbox controller imo. So I for one am stoked that valve just deleted the screen for the new controller here

It’s the all-time great PS controller, except I can’t actually hold the bottom protrusions in my hands.

It says it’s a zen 4 custom AMD chip?

It’s funny, I was thinking the opposite. Lol. The design reminds me of the Dreamcast controller. I remember the first time I held a Dreamcast controller and how insanely comfortable it felt compared to NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 and Playstation. Granted, modern PlayStation and XBox controllers are also much more comfortable than all of those too, so the Dreamcast one might be uncomfortable by modern standards, but I don’t know since I haven’t held one in 25 years.
I’m hoping this new Steam Controller is as comfortable as I remember the Dreamcast controller being.
