Make a new steam controller based on the steam deck
I personally find it really annoying that Valve made such an excellent controller setup with the steam deck, but has not made it into an actual purchasable controller for when you want to play in docked mode from your couch.

To explain in the simplest terms possible I want the steam deck without the screen & squished together as a controller I can buy. Like chunk out the mid section & glue those two hunks of controller together & I'd buy multiple of it for gaming with family & friends.

Legit sony & xbox are over here charging like ~200$ for a controller with back paddles & replaceable sticks, & sonys dualshock edge has only 2 extra buttons on the back (also 2 extra face buttons, but I want 4 back paddles man), I don't see why steam can't make a premium controller of their own to compete with the dualshock edge & xbox elite series 2 controller.

To list off what I want as pedantically as possible what the controller should have: 2 touch pads, 2 sticks, a dpad, 8 buttons on the front (x, y, a, b, start, select, steam, that "..." button), 4 back paddles, 4 shoulder buttons (2 triggers, 2 bumpers), rumble & haptics, in other words what the steam deck can currently do excluding the middle touch screen, mic, & sound.

Thank God, I am starved for a good controller for couch play, hope they release it soon.

Legit was super close to contemplating the dualshock edge, as there wasn't any other option that felt like a good choice comfort & performance wise.

Hotsauce again. Answering direct questions, with no insults. To the point and correct. The ONLY on Steam, to do so.

Thank you kind sir for your service to our community :steamhappy:

Others, take note.
