2000th Person Asking About the Steam Controller

[JMSOG]

So, i've watched Luke's review of the steam controller 3-4 times. I've read reviews. Now, obviously, the Time of the Steam Sale is upon us, and the steam controller is only $35. So, thought i'd get more people's thoughts...if you got the steam controller, what do you think? Would you recomend it?

succ, get a xbox 360 controller.

i have it and it is fine. its very handy, especially because xbox controllers require a dongle or wire to connect. (steam controller also needs a dongle, but it is included in the box)

 

personally, i only play racing games on it, and play tons of rocket league, and for that it is perfect.

however, i would strongly adivise againt using it for FPS, MOBA, and RPG games, as a mouse and keyboard are simply a better, more precise fit.

I own it, I find it fun to use; but in the end, it feels like mostly a gimmick... a fun gimmick.

 

The question is: Do you have some money to waste? If yes, buy it.

I've had mine since october and haven't gone back to using either xbox or my dualshock 4 controllers. For me its the single best controller I've used, but remember there are those who absolutely love the dualshock 3 while I personally find nothing good from the ds3.

 

Really though, the question is are you willing to take time to learn it? Its very much like console vs pc; its an enthusiast/tinkerers device not a complete pnp device.

I have mine now for a while.

 

At first I wanted to send it back, but after fiddling around with it and playing more games, I will never use my xbox controller again.

Racing games need a bit to set up but, in my opinion, feel and play much better with the steam controller (over xbox).

wait for the new bluetooth xbox one controller

[Dash Lambda]

Those results are actually pretty funny...

-Most of the people who own it say it's good,

-But most of the people who don't own it say it's bad.

 

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend you try it, because it's easily the best controller I've ever used. Only problem is that you have to take some time to get used to it.
