Support NeoGAF

[The Cowboy]

How do you put in your state for a UK delivery order on Steam?, its all set for United Kingdom but its only allowing me to put in 3 letters and it isn't accepting UK, and it won't go past the page unless i put in a state.

Edit.
Got it now, it accepted UK after a few refreshes than suggested the correct region.

 

[tmespe]

So this is US only? Not able to order it from Norway.

 

[AppleMIX]

Ill bite for 50 dollars.

 

[Jebral]

I really, really want one of these things. Not going to be a replacement for an Xbone controller, but... I just can't resist the allure of strange new technology haha.

 

[McHuj]

Really interested. Skeptical, but I hope its good.

 

[jediyoshi]

Can this be used on any PC game even outside Steam ?

yes it literally appears as other devices (keyboard/mouse/etc) depending on how it is configured. you could use it in console games that support those

 

[kingocfs]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[V-Faction]

Here's hoping they created the Reese's Cup of controllers and not the Take 5.

 

[SigSig]

ASSAULT ANDROID CACTUS!!! It's out now in Early Access but it's just about done. The game comes out on PS4, Vita, and I believe Wii U later this Summer.

Thank you! Vita sounds amazing.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Ordered. Can't wait to try it out for myself.

 

[Elitro]

Sick, i'm getting this for sure!

 

[Baleoce]

As someone who plays FFXIV on PC with a wii u pro controller, I'm thinking I could be quite creative in making a new config for it with this controller. Looking forward to seeing what the quality of the final build is like.

 

[golem]

Ordered one, hope it works as advertised.

 

[Qassim]

So this is US only? Not able to order it from Norway.

Nah, I ordered one from the UK (even suggested and accepted my UK address).

 

[SmithnCo]

Looking forward to this, it'll be different at least.

 

[Aeqvitas]

I don't really see how anyone can think a touchpad is at all better than an analogue stick. There is a reason even trying to game with a really nice trackpad is awful.

The only think I see this being remotely useful for is playing 4X and Grand Strategy games from the couch. But until those games have UI options that make anything readable from that distance, I don't see myself being tempted for this for my PC gaming needs.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Living room PC here, will be buying at least one

 

[Rodney McKay]

Preordered, hope I'm one of the ones that gets it a little early.

Can this be used on any PC game even outside Steam ?

you'll need the Steam overlay if you want to configure it of course. It appears as a generic HID device otherwise. So, probably the easiest way is to add non-Steam games to the library.

 

[bomblord1]

No matter how I look at it I can't see this but being a halfway point between keyboard and mouse instead of a replacement for both. It seems to inherit the problems with a trackpad while maintaining the imprecision of a controller.

 

[The Cowboy]

Not gonna bother with the Steam order, i thought it was £39.99 but its actually £47.39 due to postage - i'll just hold of and get it for £39.99 in store when it comes out.

 

[Vuze]

Uff, came out at almost 69€ for me (DE)... no thanks, not for that price.
Will maybe pick it up for 55 when I see it in store or sth

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Looks like it will be quite the process to adapt to new controllers that are in a familiar form factor, like with the advent of dual sticks, but more fiddly per application.

 

[Aaron D.]

That looks pretty awesome.

I think I'm in.

 

[jwk94]

Thank you! Vita sounds amazing.

welcome! Here's the latest trailer:

[chuckddd]

Comfy couch civ 5 is so close I can taste it!

 

[Shake Appeal]

Yeah, for $50 I will try this.

 

[Paz]

Oh wow this video is way more interesting than I thought it would be, super thrill seeing my game in it haha

The controller itself looks a lot better than the prototype we were given at Dev Days and I'm super keen to get my hands on one and make sure native support is as good as it can be, but the beautiful thing about these controllers is their ability to map as just about any input device + community configurations to reduce seutp time.

They are really an incredible solution to the problem of PC games requiring such a varied range of inputs, and having a non KB+M mechanism for basic browsing/management.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

charging a bit much for sure

 

[viveks86]

Nice trailer. Good production values and honest tone. Can't wait to try it when it's out

 

[Quotient]

I would really prefer to try it out before i purchase. Hopefully Gamestop, Best Buy etc have demo units available.

 

[Wavebossa]

I'll pick this up.

I recently bought a Xbox1 controller for my PC and I cannot put into words how bad this controller is compared to its 360 counterpart (Dpad is still bad on both options though)

I need a change and this will be worth looking into.

 

[Lothars]

Really hope they can pull this off. Dual analogues are clunky and archaic as hell at this point.

Not at all, from the video I still think I would prefer dual analogues over this.

 

[Tenebrous]

I'll gladly add this to my 10+ input methods cluttering the place up already. Long live choice!

Not at all, from the video I still think I would prefer dual analogues over this.

Depends on the game. Playing CKII with dual sticks would be terrible. At least it would be tolerable with this pad.

 

[Glass]

Trailer did a good job of selling this, and $50 sounds like a very tempting price point.

 

[Of All Trades]

Comfy couch civ 5 is so close I can taste it!

Why not just buy a logitech wireless thumb ball mouse? It's better for games like civ than the steam controller could ever be. I've been comfy couching civ and other mouse heavy games for years.

 

[Orayn]

charging a bit much for sure

How do you figure? It's $10 cheaper than lower-tech controllers from MS and Sony.

 

[Nzyme32]

Turns out it is cheaper via GAME in the UK, simply for free shipping - although you have to get an extra £20 of Wallet Money at minimum.

 

[spicy cho]

I don't see any link for preordering, I'm in Canada.

 

[TheFNEffecT]

Oh snap, I'm so down.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Looks really good. I'd prefer to try one before I fork out $50...but I guess I'll do it anyways!

 

[Sky Chief]

Just preordered both the controller and steam link on steam. Bundle for $100. Really excited for this!

What bundle?

 

[Deadstar]

Preordered this and the steam link so I can play dota on the couch.

 

[kitschykitty]

Great video, really showed the features and benefits of the controller and use cases, I'll pick one up.

 

[neshcom]

No matter how I look at it I can't see this but being a halfway point between keyboard and mouse instead of a replacement for both. It seems to inherit the problems with a trackpad while maintaining the imprecision of a controller.

That's what I was thinking during the trailer too. I'm still not sold on the concept nor am I a fan of "hey, the community will just make key binds for you!"

Anyone else think the trailer felt like a lot of jargon? If I didn't know about the controllers functions already, I'd walk away not knowing that it's a wireless controller with neat triggers.

 

[DocSeuss]

I don't know how I feel about spending $50 for a trailer.

 

[Wasp]

I think the grip buttons on the back are the best thing about it.

Personally I don't feel at all hindered by dual stick controllers, providing everyone else in a competitive match is using them too.

I don't really care about turning the camera around 180 degrees in a split second, if it was that important games could have a button dedicated to turning 180.

 

[Simzyy]

Can this be used as a replacement for Kb+M outside of games?

I want to permanently hook my PC up to my TV and just need a good solution for general use.

 

[narton]

So will this have rumble support? I assume that's what they mean by feedback.

 

[Interfectum]

Just pre-ordered this and Steam Link.
