thank you to hyperx for sending us here this year check out their YouTube channel youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx
also thank you to Phantom glass and linda.com the first thing I have to say
about the steam controller is that it's a very distant relation to a normal
controller this is very much not a standard console controller if there's a
game that frustrates you to play on a touchpad with a laptop it will probably
frustrate you to play it with this controller that being said I don't mind
the shape upon originally seeing it I assumed due to its shape that I really
wouldn't like it at all but that ended up not being an issue and also the
haptic feedback on the touchpads was actually really good the triggers were
solid and the shoulder buttons while not going down that far before they actuate
and not really depressing that much at all were totally fine the buttons on the
back were kind of an interesting addition that I've seen in aftermarket controllers a lot but not too much on
standard controllers and were actually pretty cool and seemed to work quite well and felt quite good overall but the
layout was a little weird abxy was in a really weird spot I'm used to an Xbox
controller where this is in the top right where the touchpad is on this
controller and I don't necessarily think that the touchpad being swapped position
with the abxy would actually make any sense it just feels awkward playing
Shooters on this thing was weird that being said playing something like Dying
Light where there's a melee weapon it wasn't quite as bad but then if you're
going to aim for the head shot it's going to be a problem th this controller
is interesting describing this controller becomes a problem because
it's so different than anything you've probably ever used it's kind of like a
laptop because you have a touchpad and that's where a lot of your fine control
comes from but then it's obviously not a laptop it's kind of like a controller
cuz there's abxy buttons and triggers and stuff but then there's two touchpads
the positioning of this controller is also an odd question it doesn't really
replace a standard controller for a lot of different games over the shoulder
adventure games I'm probably still going to want two sticks and better
positioning of the abxy buttons for twitching to them and hitting stuff like
QuickTime events very quickly and for racing games again I'm still going to
want two sticks for shooter games I'm just going to want an actual Mouse
instead of a touchpad so where does it fit well it it fits in a nice niche for
games that were never designed to be played with a controller but you really
want to play on your TV you might actually be able to use it for that and
games where honestly we've been saying this all all along like Civilization and
portal it still works great and allows you to play that on your TV with ease in
short I don't think the steam controller actually replaces your controller I
think it just augments your controller I would still want to use an Xbox 360
controller on my home theater box whether it was a steam machine or not
and I would also want to have a steam controller to fill in the gap for games
that don't work very well with the Xbox 360 controller in the end while
commenting on it and looking at it at a show is cool and all this controller
more than any other controller I have ever tried in my life will take some
getting used to and a r a proper review for this would take a few weeks of
actually using it so I'm not going to comment too much more thank you to
