Steam Controller review: Somehow both the most and least versatile PC controller | VGC

VGC says Valve’s Steam Controller is a highly customizable PC gamepad with trackpads, gyro aiming, and extra grip buttons.

It sold out quickly, reflecting strong interest in Valve’s unusual approach to controller design.

The review says the controller is best for players who like fine-tuning per-game input setups through Steam Input.

For most people, familiar options like the Xbox Wireless Controller or DualSense may be the easier choice.
