    It’s an amazing pc controller. The motion contols, touch pads, joysticks, and haptics are all amazing.

    The only downside it the steam requirement.

      Requirement? How so? Traditionally you can Mao any old controller for a game manually if you must. It pairs with my desktop on Bluetooth no problem.

        Are Gamers Nexus and other lying when they said that the controller acts are mouse without Steam? I don’t have one but that’s exactly how Steam Deck’s controls work.

          It definitely does this. But why would that matter. The computer sees joy sticks and buttons. You can map accordingly?

      I think there was software released from one of the Valve developers a week after the controller released, that makes it possible to use the controller outside of the Steam environment.

      i actually end up using it more than i thought i would. if i am just casually browsing the web, i kinda just use the steam controller instead of my mouse now.
