Haven't paid attention to /v/ for awhile. What do you guys think of the steam controller, is it shit or what?
>>322275998
Definitely not shit. It's not a basic plug and play controller, it needs tweaking for each game, but once it's configured, it's above and beyond anything a standard gamepad can achieve.
For that reason, it's fantastic with emulators.

Not designed for human hands
I've had mine since late November, it's pretty damn cool. I don't think I've done even half of what I can do with it, but it feels good and has some very cool functionality.
>>322276734
That left hand doesn't look human anyway
It's good as long as you keep in mind that it's not supposed to replace the existing gamepads. It's a crossbreed, with particular advantages and disadvantages.

Holy shit those hands
>>322276734

how is it with traditionally controller specific games?
Would be interested in Dark Souls, Witcher 2/3 (which I prefer kb+m with anyway), and wii emulation

Such as? Genuinely curious

how is a trackpad better than a stick

i want a handjob from that

Sauce plz. This is all google shows. Artist name or anything

The trackpad is quite awful for precise 2D games like platforming imo. For 3D games I find it fine but definitely takes time to get used to it.
>>322278943
Change the deadzone and sensitivity. It gets precise enough for me to beat Super Meat Boy.

You've never touched one of these, have you?
>>322279132
I own a GC Gamepad and a 360 gamepad. So yes, I have.
>>322279132
>You've never touched one of these, have you?
You've never touched one of these, have you?
>>322275998
I like it, I've mostly been farting around with emulators but I've tried a regular ass platformer I got from a humble bundle and it worked fine.
>>322278964
What happened to your hands? I assume you were born so.
I bought one from GAMESTOP with a steam link. Glad I bought it from there too. The Steamlink worked well, so I kept it and use other controllers, depending on the game. But the Steam controller, I gave it a week, and just hated it. Shooters, mouse is still preferable. Platformers, it has a shit dpad. 3D action games, it's worthless since it has small buttons. Racing, that trackpad is not worthwhile. Most VNs don't support it, which is a shame since it would be a decent game for it. City builders still need a keyboard. I have no clue what they were thinking.
>>322278964
Amazing hands, anon
>>322278964
This is gonna be a good thread I can feel it
>>322279370
forgot to mention, glad I bought it from Gamestop because they let you return controllers during a seven day period.
>>322278964
Don't listen to all of these underhanded comments.
>>322276410
you can use it with emulators? it isn't limited to solely steam?
>>322279238
>You've never touched one of these, have you?
You've never touched one of these, have you?
i absolutely love it. what the fuck do i do with the L4D2+CS:GO Bundle code that came with it though. i don't suppose anyone would care to trade for it?
>>322279671
You can add non-steam games to your Steam Library. You've been able to do that for years.
>>322277924
did you ever used one?
i didn't buy one because i don't know if i'll like the trackpads or not, but i won't say the controller is shit, i didn't test it
>>322279789
a game just needs to use the overlay then?
>>322279671
Add emulator as a non-steam game.

I thought it was pretty good, but then I realised I wouldn't actually use it in favour of a traditional controller, so I guess yeah it's shit.
>>322275998
I've been PC only for years, and I just bought a XBO controller. So if that tells you anything.
>>322279370
>mouse is preferable for shooters
what did you expect?
>>322276734
Ayy lmao
>>322276734
how is it for emulation? My 360 controllers don't cut it and I tried out a XBone controller and I didn't think the D pad was good enough to justify the $50 price point.
>>322276734
It's god-damn amazing for all those games that don't really work that well with a conventional controller.
I played some Morrowind today and it was an incredibly pleasant experience. MW has always been finnicky to set up for playing on the couch, but the Steam Controller just shrugs it off.
I set sprint/jump on the left trigger and the gyrosensor for mouse movement when the pad is held. The rest of the actions are thrown wherever I found most appropriate.
Playing that game is so obscenely comfortable now.
It just not very good for games that rely on the d-pad.

IM SORRY???????????????
>>322280491
If you need a d-pad then look elsewhere.
Your options are using the stick or the trackpad. Good luck playing platformers with that
>>322276734

I wish discussion of this controller was possible without this threadkiller popping up all the time

It is possible

wheres your right thumb
why does your left thumb look like it was out on with glue

If they support simultaneous mouse input, then you're going to have a blast.
Pure controller-only games that have no concept of m+kb generally fare a bit worse than the 360 (or whatever else "conventional" gamepad you have).
Analog stick emulation is just not the same as using a proper stick and the analog mouse mode only works sufficiently well if the game allows cranking up the sensivity to insane levels (Steam should really provide a custom setting here)
I have not tried Wii emulation yet. I think there might be interesting possibilities using the pads and gyro sensors, but I don't want to make any promises
