A few Werks ago, I sold my Xbox one and with that my only working controller for my PC. Since then, i have been playing hollowknight and Jedi fallen order on my old Xbox 360 controller with its unlikeable d-pad, even after multiple mods to it.
And with the steam controller coming, im eagerly awaiting the steam controller
My guess is about 100-150€, since the price of a General controller with back buttons and no Hall effect Joysticks or touchpads is already about 100€, so this + all the cool shit steam is doing will be more.
That seems a bit high high to me; if they want to move them in significant quantities, I’d think they’d need to try to land in the $80 USD range, give or take a hair.
They have quite a few other controller options out there that they are competing against, and even though it’s awesome, they definitely could potentially price people off of it.
I’m thinking the right price is about $80, and I’d be very happy if the price is lower than that.
I’d consider at top $100. One should come with the Steam Machine right? It can’t be too expensive to manufacture if it’s coming with what should be a competitively priced PC
Yes, but you can use any input device with steam, unlike the consoles where you need a controller thats partnered with the brand.
Using my PS5 controllers on the Steam Deck is great when playing multiplayer locally.
$100
Would you buy these if you have a steam deck? If so, why
Yes, because I also have a desktop PC, not to mention a dock for my Steam deck. Sure, I could keep using my old Xbox controller on the PC, but the Steam controller creates perfect continuity between my deck, pc, and deck docked.
I sometimes play with my Deck docked, but a lot of my games aren’t playable without the extra buttons/track pads/gyro of the steam deck.
If you have more than one computer or like to play with it docked.
My Steam Deck has neither a large screen nor surround sound, nor is it a standalone controller
