After reports that Valve had received shipments of the accessory, a Steam Controller review has appeared. Deleted ahead of a likely release date update, a YouTuber praised its responsive dual trackpads. Even so, the price may make it more difficult to discount the Steam Machine.

    What you’re saying is entirely correct: Steam Input not the same thing as maybe in-game support. Steam Input is usually better.

    With Steam Input, I can customize it to do anything I want:

    • Gyro + stick aiming
    • Touchpads as buttons
    • Touchpads with nested radial menus
    • Input cycling on the same input (think like alternating using potion 1 vs. potion 2 to split cooldowns)
    • Gesture 180° turns
    • Multi-input macros

    Ain’t no game ever going to give you that level of control.

    Steam Input has spoiled me to the point that I barely ever game on my gaming desktop. Steam Input trumps a 32" 1440p screen with higher fps and graphics settings. It’s that important to me that I’d rather play on a 7" screen with 40 fps.
