Introducing the Steam Controller

[MentaL]

What are your thoughts on the new steam controller?

I don't really like it that much, touch pads would be something hard to get used to.

[Droppy]

Kinda agree with @darkshadowm16 , but I'd like to try it in real-time game. It would be the best choice for games such Diablo, Skylines, Sims, etc... I just don't know about how it acts in FPS games... But honestly if the price comes good here I'll buy it, it really seems promissing

[exclamatio]

Looks cool, but I'm gonna take some convincing that it'l be anywhere near keyboard and mouse control.

I can't see myself using it to be honest. It'd be really difficult to get used to in my opinion, eh. I'm more of a keyboard and mouse kinda guy to be fair.

Depends on the price and I might buy one. Dont really like using my ps4 controller to play pc games and xbox controller is ugly :P

Btw. I think that touch is much better

[PixelPro]

Definitely will take some time to get used to, since it's nothing like the controllers we're all familiar with (XBOX and PS) but I think it would be okay once you get used to it. Good to see something new and creative though

[Monolith]

Being a part of the "Master Race" I probably wouldn't buy it...isn't this the console that streams games during gameplay? Can't see how that couldn't cause any issues :)

[SirEpicWin]

Oh another gimmick can't wait to buy it for 299$ :D

seriously though,this whole steam machine/OS thing is a load of crap.
steam machines will fail.

Somehow controllers give me odd feelings on the PC.
I can manage 'em well, but on the PC it feels like somethings missing without the keyboard and mouse....
Asmuch is changing now that we're living the future, I think PC gaming should be done with a keyboard and mouse, leave the controllers for consoles! mooo!

[ChewBecca]

I don't think the touch pads would be very difficult to grasp. Smartphone games usually have that, as obviously there are no buttons to use for games on your phone, and the action would be the same, just without a stick to push around.

Sounds cool to me, using a keyboard and mouse has always put me off from pc gaming, tbh. I can never get used to it.

Playing dota 2 on that controller and winning a game is pretty awesome! Ha
