So what's the verdict on the steam controller?

I saw this promo and I just so happen to need a new gamepad, but I haven't heard much about this thing.

Is it worth it?

Touchpads are shit and no amount of Valvedroning will change that

I was considering buying it, but the deal is unavailable in Australia where it would actually be a nice discount. Fucking Valve, hope the ACCC fines them to a fine pulp.

i tried using it for dks2 and its shit

its good for other games though

Strike not while the iron is hot, make it hot by striking!

It's not a replacement of your current favorite controller, just a substitute for M&K. It's basically made for Steam's Big Picture mode.

Why the absolute fuck would you play that game with a Steam controller

Valve are so desperate to sell that piece of turd

AFAIK good concept if you invest time in it.
Not pulling the trigger on it though. Now that they released CAD files I'm expecting something like a third part premium version coming in the future.
I really just want more backside buttons on it, because taking thumbs off to press a button is shitty. The face buttons could be removed entirely for all I care.

Why would anyone play with any controller other than Xbone Elite?
>>
>>332509613
Because ds3 exists

>there are still aspects of the controller that have yet to even be integrated into working functionality
>there's still no way to easily configure controls outside of big picture mode
>the controllers have been out for almost 5 months
someone should probably tell these dipshits that their laissez-faire approach to developing software doesn't translate to happy consumers buying hardware.
