MSNlisted it as one of the top 10 worst game peripherals, writing "Second only to the Sega Activator in terms of all-out crappiness, the U-Force also used infrared sensors to create a truly nightmarish controller...'Don’t Touch' said the adverts for the device, in a rare example of an advertising campaign that got it spot on

If this is true, this is a really cool feature, and I would be curious to see how it could be utilized with Steam Input for most games.
That’s the thing. Everyone seems positive about this but… what do you do with it?

I wonder if it could sense when you were about to pick it up and start the power on or wake up process

I’m also curious how developers use this feature. The Dreamcast VMUs were a cool idea but it never caught on.

My VR controllers can’t even properly tell when I’ve set them down and they have touch sensors in them. I do not know why sometimes setting the controllwrs down, still has them being tracked with my hands until I go out of my way to show my empty palms to the tracking cameras.

@Fubarberry I'm waiting for one of these so hard! I want a better experience playing rim world with the deck docked to my tv. Xbox controller works but it's not fun to use. I have an original steam controller but I never found it a good fit. Something closer to the steam deck would be perfect!
