Valve Delivered! HUGE Steam Deck Update!

It's a bit of a stretch to call this a Steam Controller 2. The HoriPad exists on every other console. It's like calling an 8BitDo officially licensed Xbox controller a brand new first party Xbox Controller.

I dont know why someone or Valve just doesn't make a controller that has an identical layout to the SD without the screen. They're leaving money on the table! so many times I'm using a bluetooth controller and i'm like ughh gotta go grab the mouse to navigate and do whatever for a quick sec. They could even add a small physical keyboard at the center bottom like those attachments you can buy for xbox/ps controllers. that would literally be perfect for mouse/keyboard inputs on a controller. SOMEBODY STEAL THIS IDEA!

Experiencing a trackpad with haptics is a game changer IMO and I don't know if I can ever use a controller without it. Hoping Steam doesn't abandon it on SD 2 or Steam Controller 2.

Meh I use a trackpad in most games. If they do not make a steam controller with 2 trackpads I am not interested.

Its not the steam deck controller 2 or steam controller 2. Its literally called the horipad for steam.

I need dual torchpad! No buy .

The controller just needs rumble and 2x track pads like on Steam Deck and I'd be so excited

that hori controller looks good, i hope they release a variant with Playstation stick layout.

GOD NO!! I need touchpads!! I use a steam controller constantly and touchpads on the deck. I'll just have to buy more on ebay if they go with an xbox style. The OG is literally god tier. New touchpad tech would make a MKII perfect.

I know a lot of people are used to using the joysticks, but I didn't really play games before the steam deck and on the steam deck I learned how to use the trackpad for aiming. I have to say using the joysticks now feels terrible compared to the trackpad

Really hoping for one with the touchpads, o use Desktop Mode mostly and still love my original Steam controller for, surprisingly, photo editing and hopping in and out of emulators and mods.

So noticing that bottom bit with the dpad and right stick. It kind of looks like that's a separate part of the controller. Maybe it's swappable and they would allow a TouchPad module for both track pads.

The Dualsense edge has the same amount of inputs but also has a touchpad for even more inputs and it currently has the best gyro on the market. It doesn't have capacitive sticks though, but for online shooters is that really an issue? when most would want gyro to always be on. I'm still intrigued though.

I use Big Picture Mode for a while, and it's working fine

Needs trackpads, haptics, and vibration... Also needs hall-effect sticks

Gimme a steamdeck without a screen and call it a steam controller 2... Ill give you a kidney

That Hori controller seems like a step backwards from the PS4 controller I'm using. I use the trackpad for some games to create radial virtual menus to do things... plus I have one of those cheap button backplates to replace having to push in the L3/R3 buttons that works extremely well.

Using hori on other systems loved them so hopefully this will be as good.

well, theres room for 2 tiny squares on the sides of the bottom middle section for tack pads, have a switch to turn them on and off so you dont have to worry about your hand resting on then during gaming. Ive just been waiting for a PC controller that shaped and mostly formatted like xboxs with mouse pad and a spot to plug in a mini keyboard so I can transition between game, tv, and browsing on my PC with the same in hand controller. Its really surprising no one has done this yet.

woot I'm ready for steamdeck screen recording
