Valve’s new Steam Controller isn’t perfect, but I’m buying one anyway

Valve’s new Steam Controller mirrors Steam Deck-style customization, letting players carry over personalized layouts and muscle memory to couch gaming.

A Verge reviewer used it for over two weeks and praised its deep remapping, strong build, and easy wireless setup via Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz puck.

The controller syncs well with Steam Deck configurations, making it a promising first-party option for TV gaming with low friction.

Despite some complaints about trackpad placement, the reviewer said they would buy it when preorders open on May 4.
