Kinda cute, but

Kinda cute, but

I almost threw mine because it wouldn't sync the first 4 tries. I wonder if it would have made the same scream or just laughed at me for wasting 100 bucks.

 

[onQ123]

Lol

 

[ssringo]

Confirmed. What a weirdly funny easter egg.

Didn't actually drop it though, just lowered my arms rapidly a few times.

When the Steam Controller vibrates, I make this sound.

 

[Magic Carpet]

That's the sound I make everytime I check my email for the preorder news.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Never show this to your toddler, you'll regret it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's so ridiculous and random, I love it, lmao.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Apparently, it's using the haptic motor to make sounds. Hal did something similar with the Joycons in Star Allies:

 

[Zuzu]

Haha that's cool

Steam beating sony for the most useless controller gimmick award was not on my bingo card...

At least this is fun

 

[Cakeboxer]

Lmao, brilliant.

Microsoft's pizza smell controller already claimed that award.

Forgot that one...

What is the useless gimmick from Sony?? Some vibration??

Anything beyond this is a "gimmick" according to GymWolf

Still too many buttons, and that looks like free 360 movement, constrain it to the cardinal directions please

Valve putting in an Easter Egg was definitely on my bingo card with how they were with the original

Perfect for Nintendo! One button: "Win".

(Kidding.)

 

[AJUMP23]

This is why RAM prices are super high.

The touchpad, the lights that you cant fully disable, the resistant triggers...

But hey, no back buttons, decent battery life or driftless sticks, you know, actual useful stuff.

 

[consoul]

Yes. This rules.

I would not call the touchpad if used properly a gimmick.

 

[GymWolf]

I can think of like 2 games that use it decently, days gone and tsushima, still a gimmick for me, never felt like i was missing something with any controller without touchpad.

Agree. I'd rather have back buttons, better battery, TMR sticks than lights, touchpads and horrible feeling triggers

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

I wish more companies did dumb stupid crap like this. Probably took an afternoon to code and implement.

 

[Moondoggy]

I'll take 7

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Imagine the surprise on some spoiled brats face when the temper tantrum is disrupted by this sound

In the few games I used a DS4 via native input (temporarily) on PC it just felt like they moved the select button to the touch pad and that was it.

I used to make far more use of it with custom bindings in Steam/DS4Windows. You can do a lot with it if you are so inclined, which is one of the reasons I was always going to get the new SC

You are a wise old man.

But mostly just old.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Nintendo sending their army to that user right now
