Is the Steam Controller any good?
Worth $50 good?

It's getting there.
It will spoil you for customization.

Ask yourself: will you be playing steam games on TV in you living room? If so, it is worth it.
>>321413531no
But I was wondering if playing racing, fighting, or emulated console games in front of my computer would be any better using the Steam Controller.

for me I play my games in bed, I have a TV by my bed. Nothing beats comfy single player games curled up in blankets

I found 360 controller better for racing. It has strong feedback for road bumps and longer trigger push distance for braking/acceleration.
But if not breaks your budget, try it.
I just ordered this after selling my csgo inventory.
Only had to pay about $15 out of pocket.
I am excite.

It feels fucking cheap, just use a DS4 or XB1 controller.
>>321414951
It really does feel cheap. Im not sure why but i think its the weight?
Does it work with Android games?
Do I have to sign into Steam Big Picture every time I want to use it?
Steam controller best controller

It's great if you're willing to fuck around with it to make it work. If you buy it and expect it to work exactly like a regular controller, you'll be disappointed.

>It will spoil you for customization.
I only wish Valve made that degree of customization work for any controller.
That said, fuck the face buttons and the triggers on the Steam controller. There's enough problems with the controller that a second generation model could easily fix.

>no dpad
>face buttons in the wrong place
My only problem is that it only works with games launched through steam, which is a pain in the ass
>>321412873
It's shit don"t bother

>this post
welp I almost bought it
>>321412873
Yes but you need to spend time getting used to it + tweaking it, usually on a game-by-game basis. You can play pretty much anything on it if you can spend the time tweaking settings

I wish for a marriage of the elite with the steam controller. The bumpers could use some improvement, but the triggers are ok. The build quality leaves something to be desired
>>321419656
i disagree, emulation is impossible since only the one stick can be mapped as a analog stick making psx and ps2 emulation impossible.
>>321412873
Question:
Can I use rechargeable batteries and recharge while playing with the controller connected via USB?
>>321412873
Pretty good for:
>old PC games that rely on KB/M
>non-real time strategy games (tons of possible binds)
>racing games
>controlling windows when you use a pc on a tv
Not great for:
>2D games or emulation
>FPS (or maybe I need more practice)
>RTS games
I would recommend it overall, it's a solid controller but for some times of games the XB1 one will remain superior
>>321412873
only get it if you have games you want to use a controller for (side scrollers, racing games etc), or if you want to use it with the steam link.
by its self, its really shitty for PC games without controller support and will never fully replace a keyboard/mouse.
Also another thing about it, is the amount of options. It takes fucking FOREVER to set shit up for each game to make it even comfortable, and on top of that, you gotta deal with big picture bugs. Steam deleted all of my keybinds, multiple times, not happy about that shit.
>>321415759
You have to use big picture, unfortunately, or you can't customize anything. Your PC will only recognize it as a mouse outside of Steam.

No. There isn't a pack, the batteries go into the controller hilts
>>321420332
its okay for fps, just takes a while to relearn how to use a controller if that makes any sense.
>you are gifted with left 4 dead 2 key and tf2
litterally 10 years old games, if it gave dota skins it would be good tho
>>321420498
>There isn't a pack
I'm not talking about packs, i'm talking about rechargeable batteries
>>321420724
I doubt it.
