This is actually really awesome- one of my biggest complaints with the steam controller was how the build quality of it felt a little "cheap" (i.e. light & plastic-y when compared to an xbox controller). The technology inside the controller is superb, and I think they had to sacrifice a little on build quality to bring it down to that ~50$ price range.
Very interested to see what kind of crazy improvements the community develops.
- paulgerhardt 11y agoSame designer made the Xbox controller as the Steam one. Lightness was a design goal not a shortfall for the team. Reasoning was that VR is the future, the less fatigue the better.
- spb 11y agoThe Steam Controller isn't for VR. You're thinking of the Vive controllers.
- timdeneau 11y agoWhen I tried the 30min demo, it felt about right, meaning that I didn’t notice any fatigue holding the controllers. Which is valuable when you’re moving around much more actively, compared to a traditional controller cradled between your knees.
- seanp2k2 11y agoI'd love to see something like the Xbox Elite controller, where it's a almost-no-expense-spared version for $100-200 with much higher build quality and materials.
