$60, has capacitive joysticks, gyro, steam menu buttons, and 4 extra buttons. Fully supported in Steam Input.

However, no track pads or vibration.

12x more than I paid for the real Steam Controller and only a fraction of the features. Was hoping it would be priced more affordably

Real steam controller needs more buttons and another joystick though. When many games are designed around a standard controller, the steam controller can be awkward to use.

I’ve preordered it. I have a few hori controllers. Some are worse than others. Even though its design is pretty much identical to their switch controller, I honestly want to give it a try. My goto controllers lately have been the PS5 controller and the Gamsir g7 se. I have been playing everything recently on Bazzite so it’s been fun to try out different controllers for different games.

It looked good, but the gyro is apparently awful and the trigger travel is basically non-existent.

I don’t know how many people vibe with this, but the PS5’s high definition super Hitachi wand rumble or whatever is literally my favorite thing about it. I can’t imagine going for no vibration at all.

This is cool and all, but no rumble is kind of a deal breaker for me

Same. I’ve got multiple 8bitdo products and I was still considering one, but no rumble is just weird.

Yeah, I was totally on board till I got to that part. What an absurd exclusion :/

Yeah. When the early PS3 controllers did it everyone agreed it was stupid and eventually they made the DualShock 3.
