Xbox 360 controllers (and their knock-offs) are still extremely common choices for PC gamers who want a controller. Xbox because they have good windows plug-and-play, 360 because there are still plenty of $20-ish dollar ones available, as opposed to the ~$40-50 range for the Xbox One controllers.
Wired Xbox 360 controllers (and most of their off brand alternatives) have a non-removable USB-A cable.
- cassianoleal 4mo agoThere's plenty of cheap adapters for these use cases.
- OkayPhysicist 4mo agoIt's not "these use cases". It's the primary use case for the USB ports on this device. The entire pitch for the Steam Machine is to use it as a gaming console. Needing adapters for the most common controllers would be nuts. There's plenty of C-to-A adapters for other use cases.
- cassianoleal 4mo agoThe Steam Machine is clearly not a high-end gaming console. I don't think most users will be using wired controllers. I could be wrong, of course.
