I’m glad this wasn’t the final design. Those haptic pads and small sticks look awful to use.
Nonetheless, this is cool as hell to see!

I’d bet they’re steam controller touch pads, and they’re quite a bit bigger than the final steam deck ones. Probably normal sized sticks too, with that in mind. The sizes are relatively identical to my steam controller
Isn’t that mostly an unenforceable request? And the fact that’s probably stolen or whoever got it had a non disclosure agreement probably is a bigger deal
I really prefer the Steam Controller track pads, shoulder buttons and triggers, they’re just much more clicky.
That’s why you make prototypes.
With the “not for resale” stamp clearly shown to boot.
No, the stamp on the back.
The power button on the top is to boot.
Hilarious.
Someone get this to Bringus Studios immediately.

TBH the front looks fine to me, though there’s a strong likelihood of accidentally touching the touchpads while using the thumb sticks.
What I’m glad they fixed up are the back/grip buttons, as this prototype is “push” only, where as I almost exclusively use them as “squeeze”. These are missing the L-shape where the button is built in to not just the back plate, but also the inside of the hand grip.

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.

It’s a joke reference to sellers who will list items for very cheap, but with very high postage costs, to try to trick people into viewing their product more favourably.
