thank you to hyperx for sending us here this year check out their YouTube channel youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:10.559
also thank you to Phantom glass and linda.com the first thing I have to say

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.559
about the steam controller is that it's a very distant relation to a normal

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.520
controller this is very much not a standard console controller if there's a

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:23.199
game that frustrates you to play on a touchpad with a laptop it will probably

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:27.560
frustrate you to play it with this controller that being said I don't mind

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:30.560
the shape upon originally seeing it I assumed due to its shape that I really

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

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.920
haptic feedback on the touchpads was actually really good the triggers were

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.120
solid and the shoulder buttons while not going down that far before they actuate

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:46.039
and not really depressing that much at all were totally fine the buttons on the

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

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

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

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:04.000
controller where this is in the top right where the touchpad is on this

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:08.479
controller and I don't necessarily think that the touchpad being swapped position

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.880
with the abxy would actually make any sense it just feels awkward playing

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:16.920
Shooters on this thing was weird that being said playing something like Dying

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

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

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.479
is interesting describing this controller becomes a problem because

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

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.439
laptop because you have a touchpad and that's where a lot of your fine control

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

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.159
cuz there's abxy buttons and triggers and stuff but then there's two touchpads

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:47.960
the positioning of this controller is also an odd question it doesn't really

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.360
replace a standard controller for a lot of different games over the shoulder

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:54.960
adventure games I'm probably still going to want two sticks and better

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.840
positioning of the abxy buttons for twitching to them and hitting stuff like

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:02.840
QuickTime events very quickly and for racing games again I'm still going to

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:07.039
want two sticks for shooter games I'm just going to want an actual Mouse

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

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.440
games that were never designed to be played with a controller but you really

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

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:21.920
games where honestly we've been saying this all all along like Civilization and

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

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:30.599
short I don't think the steam controller actually replaces your controller I

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:34.480
think it just augments your controller I would still want to use an Xbox 360

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.239
controller on my home theater box whether it was a steam machine or not

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

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:45.080
that don't work very well with the Xbox 360 controller in the end while

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:48.879
commenting on it and looking at it at a show is cool and all this controller

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.280
more than any other controller I have ever tried in my life will take some

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

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.400
actually using it so I'm not going to comment too much more thank you to

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:05.280
