00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,240
thank you to hyperx for sending us here this year check out their YouTube channel youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:10,559
also thank you to Phantom glass and linda.com the first thing I have to say

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:15,559
about the steam controller is that it's a very distant relation to a normal

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:19,520
controller this is very much not a standard console controller if there's a

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,199
game that frustrates you to play on a touchpad with a laptop it will probably

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,560
frustrate you to play it with this controller that being said I don't mind

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:30,560
the shape upon originally seeing it I assumed due to its shape that I really

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,520
wouldn't like it at all but that ended up not being an issue and also the

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,920
haptic feedback on the touchpads was actually really good the triggers were

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,120
solid and the shoulder buttons while not going down that far before they actuate

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,039
and not really depressing that much at all were totally fine the buttons on the

12
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:50,879
back were kind of an interesting addition that I've seen in aftermarket controllers a lot but not too much on

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:57,480
standard controllers and were actually pretty cool and seemed to work quite well and felt quite good overall but the

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,600
layout was a little weird abxy was in a really weird spot I'm used to an Xbox

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:04,000
controller where this is in the top right where the touchpad is on this

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,479
controller and I don't necessarily think that the touchpad being swapped position

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,880
with the abxy would actually make any sense it just feels awkward playing

18
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:16,920
Shooters on this thing was weird that being said playing something like Dying

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,159
Light where there's a melee weapon it wasn't quite as bad but then if you're

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,960
going to aim for the head shot it's going to be a problem th this controller

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,479
is interesting describing this controller becomes a problem because

22
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,360
it's so different than anything you've probably ever used it's kind of like a

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,439
laptop because you have a touchpad and that's where a lot of your fine control

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,119
comes from but then it's obviously not a laptop it's kind of like a controller

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,159
cuz there's abxy buttons and triggers and stuff but then there's two touchpads

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,960
the positioning of this controller is also an odd question it doesn't really

27
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,360
replace a standard controller for a lot of different games over the shoulder

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,960
adventure games I'm probably still going to want two sticks and better

29
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,840
positioning of the abxy buttons for twitching to them and hitting stuff like

30
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:02,840
QuickTime events very quickly and for racing games again I'm still going to

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,039
want two sticks for shooter games I'm just going to want an actual Mouse

32
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:11,319
instead of a touchpad so where does it fit well it it fits in a nice niche for

33
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:14,440
games that were never designed to be played with a controller but you really

34
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:17,959
want to play on your TV you might actually be able to use it for that and

35
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,920
games where honestly we've been saying this all all along like Civilization and

36
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:25,760
portal it still works great and allows you to play that on your TV with ease in

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,599
short I don't think the steam controller actually replaces your controller I

38
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:34,480
think it just augments your controller I would still want to use an Xbox 360

39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,239
controller on my home theater box whether it was a steam machine or not

40
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,599
and I would also want to have a steam controller to fill in the gap for games

41
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,080
that don't work very well with the Xbox 360 controller in the end while

42
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,879
commenting on it and looking at it at a show is cool and all this controller

43
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,280
more than any other controller I have ever tried in my life will take some

44
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:57,280
getting used to and a r a proper review for this would take a few weeks of

45
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,400
actually using it so I'm not going to comment too much more thank you to

46
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,280
