 Are you tired of playing your PC games with a controller and mouse? Or a controller that only gives you half the options that you need to play? Now all your problems can be solved with the new Steam Controller! The new Steam Controller costing $49.99 will be released on November 10th, and if you pre-order now, you can receive a free copy of Rocket League and Portal 2! That's a pretty good deal if you ask me, cause those are both amazing games! You can also pre-order the Steam Link and controller Bundle. I haven't even had coffee today, I don't know why I'm being so weird. So why do you need to order the new Steam Controller? Most of us have been using other controllers on our PC for years now! Well, for starters, the new Steam Controller can let you play your entire Steam Game Collection with a fully customizable controller that can also act as a keyboard and mouse. How cool is that? The Steam Controller was built to allow you to explore all of the past games created, along with all of the future games. That means that you can play virtually any game created with the Steam Controller, even if it wasn't designed to play with the controller. The controller was designed for you to experience a new level of precise control while gaming. Something those other controllers just can't give you! The Steam Controller features dual trackpads, HD haptic feedback, dual stage triggers, back grip buttons, and fully customizable control schemes. You can find your favorite mappings in the Steam Community or create and share your own. I got my hands on a Steam Controller earlier this week, and I have to say that I quite like it! The controller still has a really comfortable feel, but it has a little bit more ergonomics in mind. The handles curve upward a little bit, which puts your thumbs right in place over the touchpads. And the touchpads are really smooth, and they rely on haptic feedback for resistance. You can actually feel little vibrations as your thumb moves across the touchpad, which also helps keep your thumb from just like, whoops, sliding off. Using the buttons down at the bottom and the left joystick do feel a little bit awkward at first, but I did read that after continued use, you do get used to them, and they're comfortable with no problems. The one thing that the controller is missing is a headset connection. So if you're looking to use a headset, you're gonna have to opt for a wireless version or one with a really long cord. Which, I mean, it's not like we use those anyways, right? Huh? No? Yeah? No? You also might be wondering how the controller is supposed to replace a keyboard and mouse. Sounds complicated, right? Well, along with customization, the right touchpad can be used as your mouse button, or your mouse, as it virtually works the same. You're just using your thumb instead, and then they have an on-screen way that you can use it as a keyboard. I don't know. I haven't tried it. It might work, you know? Doing things. I'm great at explaining things. Like I said before, the Steam Controller is the most universal controller to date, allowing you to customize it for any game. Every button on the Steam Controller is remappable for you to get your best gameplay just for you for every game. And I could go into all the customization stuff, but I probably won't explain it as a lot of other people already have, so if you can check the description box below for me, I will link some resources where you can find out everything that you need to know. Maybe. And if you've been sitting here this whole time saying, but Brit, you haven't even shown us how we can play on our TV, and you're right. So that is where the Steam Machine or yesterday's Steam Link will come into use. You will also need an excellent internet connection, preferably hardwired. And just like the Xbox and PlayStation controllers, there's going to be a little button right in the center that has the Steam logo. And once you press that, it will open up the Steam Link menu. This is where you find your Steam Library, the community, the store, and where you want to customize your controller, which you will find all of that directly to your computer if you just play with your computer. So the controller programs are actually already on there and it will work flawlessly with your computer. Just with your TV, you will need a Steam Link or something of that nature. So FPS, action, strategic, RPG, just about every game type is playable on the controller. It's up to your playing expertise and the actual game that will determine whether or not you are going to be the PC champion that you usually are while playing with the Steam Controller. Like everything new, there are things for Valve to learn and improve upon, so hopefully they will continue releasing some firmware updates and implement the feedback from everyone using the controller and keep on making it more and more awesome.
