    Love love loved my steam controller. I wish I bought 50 when they were 5 bucks.

    The deck doesn’t feel right in my hands, im glad I was able to sit down and use one before I spent the money.

    I would love a Steam Controller 2.0, or even just another run of the original.

      I still use my Steam Controller fairly regularly. It’s so handy and I love the dual track pads.

      I really want a 2.0 because as much as I love the trackpads, having only one stick for something like a driving game just doesn’t work well. I also can’t get over how nice it is being able to have a full 16-button controller PLUS buttons that can invoke keyboard shortcuts like alt-tab or move the mouse if focus gets lost or something.

      I’m surprised you don’t like the feel of the Deck. It’s honestly the most comfortable any controller has felt sitting in my hands. It beats the ergonomics of the Switch by a mile too

        Something about the travel of the analog sticks was immediately and immensely off putting to me. Not the feel of the plastic surface that your thumbs rest on, but the physical feedback of moving the sticks.

        I dunno it’s parhaps a nitpick but I went from ‘holy shit I need this’ to ‘eh it’s a cool device’ within 30 minutes of play time.

          Lol I can respect that. Everyone’s got their preferences.

          I do think it’s funny that at first I was like “eh, it’s cool” then I bought into the hype, got one, and touched it maybe a dozen times the first year I had it. But now the more I use it the more I fall in love lol
