I believe it's certainly possible to get the hang of it and while everything appears to be accurate enough, it simply doesn't feel as responsive as the thumbstick, or rather you don't feel quite in control for quick snappy movements. The Steam Controller lets you manage plebs in Cities: Skylines from your couch.Īs touched on already, it's difficult for the dual-trackpads to replace the trusty thumbstick, especially when it comes to aiming in first-person shooters, or even moving the camera around. And by yet, I mean with further development and successor models, the company could well be on to a winner here. If you're after something to replace the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 controllers, Valve hasn't yet built the ideal solution. My accuracy was off point, and driving felt almost awkward as I messed around with camera movements while attempting to correct my overcorrection.Īlong the same lines of what the famous Jedi once said, this isn't the controller to rule all controllers and this isn't the gamepad the Empire is searching tirelessly for. They're accurate enough and feel much better than using a laptop touchpad or even your smartphone screen, but compared to a thumbstick, especially in a shooter like Grand Theft Auto V, I just couldn't get used to it at all. The trackpads themselves are similar to what you'd find on a laptop. The right-hand trackpad is used as a replacement of what usually is the right thumbstick, and while some may be able to effectively use it as such, I cannot. Valve has packed in a single thumbstick, standard 4-button configuration, 2 trackpads, double dual-stage shoulder buttons and two grip buttons on the inside. It's totally different from other controllers too. Valve has morphed together a laptop trackpad with a console controller. (Not recommended, of course.) Valve has created a solid controller and while you begin to regret paying such a premium while it's being delivered, as soon as you pick it up for the first time, you immediately see why.
It feels sturdy, it also feels like you could cause some serious bodily harm with one. I actually prefer the weight and build of the Steam Controller compared to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gamepads. There's nothing to install, no programs to mess around with.

Simply plug in the receiver to your PC and you're good to go.
Underneath its separator is the included manuls, documentation, USB cable extender, dock and wireless receiver. Inside you'll find the controller first and foremost. Upon receiving your package from Valve, you'll be greeted by a rather stylish-looking box.
