[yoshizzle]

Controller

 

[Racer1977]

The Last Guardian?


Oh, right, wrong thread...........

 

[Gamerloid]

Steam controller

 

[bananas]

THEFUCKISTHAT?!

 

[MrCunningham]

beaten by a nanosecond...

 

[gngf123]

Controller it is.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

 

[Hip Hop]

I'll stick to my Xbox 360 controller, thanks.

 

[stressboy]

Interesting controller

 

[Nozem]

*snip*

 

[GregLombardi]

WTF is that lol

 

[Mugatu]

pre-order cancelled

J/K Looks weird but I have faith, enough at least to give it a chance.

 

[Racer1977]

Reinventing the wheel.............

When it doesn't need to be!

 

[mephixto]

Yay!!I Nighmares tonight, thanks gabe!.

WTF is that!!!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

That controller has rendered me speechless.

 

[Zalman]

That is a really stunning controller.

Not in a good way.

 

[Juravsky]

So controller it is...

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

That looks quite horrible to use but then again it was made so you can play most pc games with it. The buttons in particular look out of place.

Only saving grace is that it is hackable.

 

[kartu]

Dafuq...

At first I thought some gafer was joking.

Reinventing the wheel.............

When it doesn't need to be!

Me wonders whether "DS4 can work with PC" was true and whether Sony was ok with it.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I wonder if maybe the controller is what is going to be revealed tomorrow? Some people have suggested that it is BPM related (or did Valve say it is BPM related?) but I can't see how anything BPM related could be worth an announcement. Perhaps some kind of video/music streaming partnership.

BOOYA!!!!!

 

[Taco_Human]

That is one sexy controller.

 

[Nozem]

Haptic feedback, i'm intrigued.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Reinventing the wheel.............

When it doesn't need to be!

My guess is that this is designed to replace kbam, not the controller. They needed to find a way that games like Dota 2 or PC FPS games could be played without a mouse.

 

[Hip Hop]

Reinventing the wheel.............

When it doesn't need to be!

It's like trying so hard to be different, just for the hell of it.

 

[AdamMPSP]

I'm in. Looks great. Could be a gamechanger.

 

[moggio]

I'll stick to my Xbox 360 controller, thanks.

Even if this is better and more suitable for the vastly different controller requirements for PC gaming?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

I think this is one of those "you need to try it out yourself first" kind of things.
It looks ... ehm, weird...

 

[Bookoo]

Skeptical of dual track pads, but really interested to check it out.

However I feel it was pretty pointless to spread these announcements out over 3 days. These type of hype builders never seem to pay off.

 

[Macattk15]

That controller looks like shit and I for one would never use it.

I had trackpads ... trackballs ... whatever. Hate hate hate.

Put me down as a "-".

 

[Prisoner KSC2-303]

I certainly wasn't expecting that.

Pretty ballsy move considering a poor pad can undermine a machine. They must be pretty confident in their design.

 

[FrozenCell]

 

[Hakkelus]

I was expecting trackballs but these will be better. On onlineshooters these will dominate traditional gamepads, I think. Not sure if this is better than mouse and keyboard though.

 

[FGMPR]

Why are people shitting on this already? How could you honestly know how you would react to it without at least holding the thing in your hands?

 

[Number45]

I was expecting trackballs but these will be better. On onlineshooters these will dominate traditional gamepads, I think. Not sure if this is better than mouse and keyboard though.

On online shooters on the PC, not many will be using a gamepad.

 

[nowheretorun]

Haptic feedback, i'm intrigued.

Is it? Sounds great! edit: My bad, clicked link lol!

This.

So I assume everyone noticed this:

What’s next?
We’re done with our announcements, and we promise to switch gears now and talk specifics over here in our Steam Universe community group. Also we’ll talk soon about the design process and how we’ve arrived at our current prototype. (We’ll post detailed specs next week for our living room SteamOS prototype, too.)

Specs for the Steambox prototype next week!
