Steam Controller (Re-buy or new model)

[Rdx]

Hey all,
Im almost in desperate need for a new PC game controller, so i tought i hit up the forums to look what options i have. Is there any news on the new Steam Controller and if so when is it to be expected? Are there better options out there besides the steam controller ?

KInd Regards

I read articles about Steam Deck's future where Valve employees hinting Steam Controller 2 along with upcoming Steam Machine's successor, Steam Deckard concept but that's pretty much it. Best to wait and hope for the best.

IMO, Dualshock 4 and Dualsense controller are the best Steam Controller alternatives because they have touchpads and gyro that could benefit most of Steam Input's features almost on par with Steam Controller's.

The new Dualsense Pro also has grip buttons. I will likely get one if I run out of SC's before a SC V2 is out.

Somebody already answered but, yes. Playstation controllers have generally had the word Dual in the name since they first added rumble and analog sticks to their controllers with the Dual Shock 1.0 series. Since then they have added a gyroscope, a touch pad, and now grip buttons. They also have fancy triggers that have resistance on them to emulate the feel of various things like the tug of Spider-Man's webs, pulling the trigger of a gun, and more.

the biggest pro for the steam controller are the 2 touchpads fully customizeable - you still have 1 analogstick with 1 custom trackpad and right pad on mousecontrol. Theoreticly you can put a full keyboard on the controller (not the overlay keyboard) i cant find any other controller that does that.
