Is the new Steam Controller a game-changer or a bit underwhelming? We discuss our mixed feelings after testing it out, covering everything from its ergonomic design to its unique control schemes.

00:00Steam Controls here, we've been using it. Is it any good?
00:03We've been using it for a week.
00:04The whole idea is it's not just a controller, it's a controller that will also do a mouse input.
00:10And it will do it multiple different ways.
00:12So you've got the trackpads, you've also got gyro controls, and of course you do also have the thumbsticks.
00:18And the core idea is...
00:19Your games at your fingertips.
00:22Exactly, I mean, even it says on the box.
00:24It's also that it's input parity with the Steam Deck.
00:26So everything the Steam Deck can do, this can do.
00:29I was super excited to get hold of this.
00:31Like, in a way that I was not excited about the original Steam Controller.
00:34Got it out of the box, started using it, and was just a little bit underwhelmed.
00:38I think maybe I was, I don't know, caught into the hype a little bit too much.
00:43And it is just a relatively standard pad, but with a few extra little frostings, like the trackpads and the
00:52gyro stuff.
00:52I think I'm maybe slightly more positive just on the general feel.
00:56You look at it and you think, that's like a chunky lad, you know.
01:00That's like going to be a bit of a heavy thing to hold.
01:02It's not, it's a really good weight.
01:04It's quite like an ergonomic feel.
01:06The little recessed bit for the trackpads generally feel good.
