Valve confirms Steam Controller launches May 4, priced $99

Valve confirmed the Steam Controller will go on sale May 4 for $99. The company said there will be no preorders and units will be sold starting on launch day. Valve notes compatibility caveats for some devices and games and urges buyers to check supported hardware and software details before ordering. This matters because the controller’s touchpad-focused layout and configurable Steam features aim to offer a distinct PC gamepad experience, so compatibility will determine whether buyers get the intended controls.

The Steam Controller offers both an excellent out-of-the-box experience as well as a playground for enthusiasts to tinker to their hearts content. Our review: https://bit.ly/4u85Dxr

The Steam Controller is excellent for both casual PC gamers and custom control enthusiasts, offering both high-end and unique features at a price closer to the base console controllers than its high-end competitors. It’s the PC controller to beat. Score: 9

Hey uh, does the Steam Controller's DPAD feel good? Anyone know?

Going off the Giant Bomb breakdown, they apparently went to the fighting game community for d-pad testing and it's pretty accurate with your inputs even for strict games like Third Strike.

If it’s anything like the Steam Deck, it’s just aggressively ok. It would be cool if we could mod in a different pad without serious tech skills.

Linus here mentioned it felt okay, it has been the only review I've seen pop on youtube so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJB...

I get products to review for my YouTube channel here and there. It's never anything huge but I appreciate that brands see my videos and think that my vibe matches what they're looking for I see all the Steam Controller reviews that all just came out and someday I'll be among them

I was hoping to pay at most $100 for the Steam Controller. But then I learned that's how much the SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER costs. Am I ever buying a new thing ever again? store.steampowered.com/sale/steamco...
