I like the idea of the steam controller. However, I have a 21 month old and the Steam Controller survived for precisely two days before being broken. My Xbox one controller and PS4 controllers have endured months of baby shenanigans and are fine. It'll take them a few iterations before the can match the quality and durability of the big players in the controller field.
- chc 10y agoI have two Xbox One controllers that have developed such bad analog stick drift that they're unusable, and I know other people (IRL, not random folks I Googled) who have the same problem. I also have a PS4 controller that completely stopped working because it fell four feet onto a carpet. Given how many dead controllers I've seen without even any baby to blame, I'm not sure the Steam Controller necessarily that much worse.
- maccard 10y agoThat's incredibly bad luck. I've currently got 2 dualshock 4 controllers (the launch ones with the known fault of the dodgy analog grip), anxbox 360 controller and an Xbox one controller that are used regularly. (Xbox one controller used in work for ~4 hours a day maybe?) and the only issue aside from the known DS4 fault is that my Xbox 360 cable needed the removable connector replaced. Mind you, I don't regularly drop my controllers from 4ft (1.3m) either, so I can't comment on that.
