Steam

I hope it has 2 pads and 2 sticks, like the deck! The only think I didn't like about the original was having to use the right pad instead of a stick.

Give me the Steam Deck layout sans screen and I'll buy several.

So fucking fed up being charged out the ass for a few extra buttons and/or shitty build quality.

I went through RMAing SIX god damn Xbox elite 2 controllers before just giving up and getting my CC agency involved to get my money back.

I just want a controller with back pedals and touchpads for mouse emulation. Is that so hard?

C'mon valve my wallet's so heavy

Still using my Steam Controller every day, with two in reserve. By far my favorite gaming controller, simply because of those touchpads. I play a lot of turn-based strategy and doing it from the couch is sublime.

If Steam Controller 2 has touchpads and does something better than SC1, I'm probably in (dependent on pricing).

Hell yeah

I hope the build quality is better on this one. My old one got worn out relatively quickly.

I hope they improve on the following

• The touchpads and paddle "clicks" are way too noisy
• An actual D-pad
• ABXY buttons less mushier
• USB-C port for charging
• Similar to Steam Deck layout
• A place to store the USB dongle inside the controller when not in use
• Better rumble

I switched to an 8bitdo controller with hall effect joysticks since, but I do miss the touchpad's precision for FPS.

I'm reading all the love for the original Steam controller; I didn't get it. Maybe it's because I'm a heavy dpad user, but I had one and sold it off reasonably quickly.

Here's hoping the follow-up works better for me; the Deck is fantastic!

My day 1 ordered Steam Controller is still going strong but I’ve been constantly worrying about the day it dies. Can’t wait, if this rumour proves to be true.

Next up please make a Steam Box. I just want a PS5/XSX equivalent with SteamOS.

And because I know people will say build a PC: No, I want a pre build smallish box with kinda certified hardware so I don’t have to worry about compatibility, cooling, drivers and all that stuff.

Some functionality that keeps me using the Steam Controller has been touchpads for movement, quick gadget swapping with touchpads, quick 180s/gyro activation with touchpads.

I use it to play games like Doom Eternal, Left 4 Dead 2, Spin Rhythm XD, The Finals, etc.

Sadly I don't find myself doing the same on the Steam Deck opting for the joysticks instead, since I don't find the placement, smaller size, square versus circle, and flat surface versus concave offering the type of consistency that I use the touchpads for on the Steam Controller. It feels more a touchpad appropriate for slow paced games or just desktop navigation than optimal for the way I use the touchpads on the Steam Controller. And I don't see Valve delivering on the touchpad end that I would like with the next Steam Controller with all the inputs it would be fitting in.

ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING STOCK

Fingers crossed for Joystick #2

Fuck yeah I don't care how bad it is I'll take six

Hope for Hall Effect joystick

Sweeeet

Mine two steam controllers are still used almost daily, but they are showing there age in wear and tear.

So please be as great as version 1. I need two new ones

moar touchpads!!!

The Next Steam Controller will release together with Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3 (This time with anticheat)
