Valve has announced the Steam Controller 2, the official follow up to the original controller that was released in 2015.

4 back buttons and TMR sticks is nice…

But Sony’s triggers are just too good to skip when supported. It sucks such a general idea can’t get locked down by patents for years

The PS5 triggers are so dope. I love when a game supports them.

Cyberpunk is very nice when using the Dualsense.

And the battery lasts almost 1 full play session for me!

I think the canted touchpads are a nice touch, and inline sticks are the way to go (I can’t believe Nintendo and Microsoft continue to get this wrong).

Hell yes, two joysticks! My biggest gripe with the first steam controller is that I could NOT get used to using the touchpad as a joystick.

I loved the touchpad as joystick in the valve games (portal, halflife). But as soon as you got to other games, for some reason it didn’t work as well.

I still have my steam controller (and it still works), but normally use an xbone controller.

I am keen to try one of these out though, they said 2026 so there’s a good chance it will be delivered this decade.
