The pad will be compatible with PCs, Valve's handheld console, the Steam Deck as well as its upcoming gaming PC.

    Similar, but not the same. I had to double check against my deck, but the touch pads look noticeably larger, and the orientations are different, but that could be for the different ergonomics of the contriller.

    Like I said, I’m gonna wait for reviews cuz it could be good, and valve has a good track record and I might have been reacting to some small handed model showing it off, idk. Just from the image it looks kinda bulky and awkward as a controller, but I’ll be happy to be wrong.

      could be that the touch pads are the same size and everything else is smaller.

      there are a lot of reviews already and most of them seem disappointed. which is weird because the price seems te be the main sticking point.

        Damn, I just found out about the controller today, I didn’t realize it was already going out. I’ll have to check out the reviews when I have a bit of time, but I may be holding out on my gen1 for a good while.

        Here’s hoping the console/VR products they’ve got coming are more impressive.

          i’m probably still gonna get one or two of these, because i want to play on a bigger screen with deck-like controls.

          it’s been known for many years now that the new controller would have basically nothing to do with the old one. it had too many compromises.
