    • Great controller, but it takes time to learn
Edition: Controller
I've seen a lot of reviews about this controller from people who used the early releases, and there is one thing I want to say to them: "Early Release", there are always slight changes to a product before it is released to the public. Alright, now that that's over with on with the review. I got this controller on Friday, 11/13/15 and it is now 11/15/15 and this is my 2 day review. I have grown to believe that this is a great controller. It has tons of features and buttons and little "hidden" program options. For instance, I can program one of the touch pads act as my mouse with a specific sensitivity, slight actions depending on gestures used on it (like track ball emulation), and inverted axes. There is also a "Mode Shift" option that lets you configure the Touch Pad with completely different settings if you do a soft pull on one of the triggers (or any of multiple other buttons). Example of this: I am weird and when playing a game I control the camera with the X-axis inverted, only if I'm using a controller, however when I go into "aim mode" or look down my scope or whatever, the steam controller lets me switch the Touch Pad to not having the X-axis inverted and to decrease sensitivity. (I apologize if that was a difficult sentence to read) The cool thing is I can actually change the "style of input" completely with this mode shift, so I do a soft hold of a trigger and my mouse turns into a touch menu, or a scroll wheel, or a button pad (Like for going through a menu). Basically there's tons of things that can be done to make this controller work the way you want it. You don't have to program each and every game from scratch, there are 3 templates (by default) and you have access to the community shared configurations created by other people. Sadly I noticed that as of right now it is a little difficult to take your configurations from one game to the next (Like taking configurations from Assassin's Creed II to Brotherhood). Configurations are saved in the following locations: "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\controller_base\templates" is for templates and "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\userdata\%your steam userid%\241100\remote\controller_config\%specific game code%" is for each specific games. You might find it easier to make a configuration a game that is blank or defaulty and name it what the game is to make it easier to figure out the game codes while browsing around. There are tons of buttons on this controller and you can program them in whatever weird ways you want too (they even sound like weird ways to configure them). The 2 triggers are analog as a soft pull, and when you do a full pull it becomes digital, so you can program each as to different things. In addition when programming the analog stick, you can program a specific button press/action if you take the stick all the way to the end. For example, while playing Warframe I have the analog stick configured so that once push it all the way in one direction it hits the Sprint button, than when I do a soft pull on the Right Trigger I go into a crouch/slide, and finally when I finish that pull on the Right Trigger (turning it into a Full Pull) I go into a jump. This makes parkour work amazingly. I've turned holding W and Shift to Sprint, going into a slide by holding Control, and tapping Space to jump, into only using an analog stick and pulling one trigger. Some of the reviewers I've read have mentioned the gyroscope for the controller, and you know what? That's configurable, so don't act like it's forced on you. It's actually really cool and I'm looking forward to using it with the Rift. I haven't used it much but I can actually set it up so that if I'm setting in a spinny chair while holding the controller, and I spin, the my character spins! Now that wouldn't be useful for right now when your trying to play a game using the monitor in front of you, but you don't have to program it like that, maybe your flying and you actually want to "Pull Up!" you could set it up like that. Last week I read a review from someone who fell in love an early release of this controller and compared it to switching from QWERTY to DVORAK. At first I disagreed, but as I've used this controller more I can agree now. I can play these games that I've been playing for years or even a new game very well with a mouse and keyboard, but that's because I'm use to my keyboard. (I can hit most keys on my keyboard without looking at said keyboard). The point is, trying to use the Steam Controller is just like when I tried to switch to DVORAK years ago. I could very easily right now switch back to keyboard and mouse and forget about the $50 I spent on this controller because it isn't instantly easy to use. However, there are so many options that it could actually make my life easier in a lot of ways if I learn how use this controller. Heck, this controller could very well increase my gaming experience. What I'm trying to say is, don't knock it until you've spent the time to try it our properly. This controller has so many configuration possibilities that everyone online could have a different setup even though they're playing the same game. Steam MUST be open to use the controller yes that is true and there's no way to get away from it, but once the controller is working, you can use it as a normal mouse. Steam does not need to be your active program, at least on Windows, no clue on other operating systems. That is one thing that is sad about with this controller. I WISH that there was a plug and play component of this controller that would revert it to specific settings that make it act like a normal controller. D-Pad is just a D-Pad, touch pad acts like an analog stick, to be used as an analog stick, but it's not. That's my one complaint about this controller. All in all, I've fallen in love with this controller. Even though it's only been 2 days of using it...of course I've gamed pretty much all of that time (minus a few hours to sleep). I'm strongly recommending this controller for people to use, but remember this is the first release of this controller, but Valve spent a lot of time designing this there is a reason it wasn't released over year ago. The most important thing to remember about this controller is, programming. Do NOT expect to open up Fallout 4 click some random configuration for the controller and everything to be happy days. Your going to be click that Steam button, go to controller config and be remapping buttons for the first 2 hours of the game. Yes, that makes getting into the game a little tough, but once you get a basic setup for a 1st person shooter, you'll be able to build off that for the next one you play. And I say 2 hours because you'll be going back to make minor changes a lot, you could be playing the game for an hour after your last change and than say "Hey I think it would be better if I did this." OK, I'm finished you can stop reading, get this controller and remember it's completely different from any other controller out there. ... show more

    • Really glad I decided to get one
Edition: Controller
there is a lot to say about this thing. firstly I'll say that this might not work great as a main controller, there will be some games where the touchpad just isn't what you're looking for. some games feel better with joysticks in my opinion. but with other games, this is a fantastic controller. there is so much customization you can do, you can truly tailor it exactly to your needs. the software for it is extremely powerful, detailed and it really lets you change just about anything. the drawback to this is that you will NOT enjoy or really even benefit from this product if you are not willing to experiment with it and do a lot of tweaking in the settings. this is a device that you need to tune to your preferences to really get use out of it, this is not for people who want a plug n play experience. although this process can be tedious, it's worth it and this controller is in a category of its own, there is really nothing else like it. the touchpad gives you more accuracy than a joystick does when it comes to aiming. personally I dont think it is as comfy as a joystick, but it absolutely is more accurate and allows for a wider range of motion. aiming with sticks is extremely limiting and you can only turn so fast. with this touchpad you can move as fast as you can with a normal mouse. this controller is a hybrid between mouse and controller, and it shines in games that let you bind controller AND keyboard/mouse inputs to it. unfortunately there are games out there that can not read inputs from controllers and keyboards at the same time. so if you press a controller button, and a keyboard button, some games can only detect one. there is nothing we can do about this, on either end. Fallout 4 for example is one game i noticed had this issue. the controller lets you map shortcuts, multiple layers of controls that change when holding a button, scrolling functionality with the touchpad, it has a ton of features that really enhance your experience once you have taken the time to make a good layout. there are also community made layouts you can use if you're lazy. the learning curve for the software is tough. some options have no description and are pretty technical which can leave you feeling lost. there is an ocean of settings to play with which is amazing for functionality but overwhelming to the user, I definitely recommend reading some guides to streamline this process. unfortunately this controller was not for me in terms of gaming. I would never use anything besides a mouse to aim in a competitive game, and for a casual game, a joystick is comfier and I dont mind the lost accuracy. now I use it to control my PC from bed. no more having to get up to change volume or mess with stuff. I can also turn off and turn on the computer with the controller. this device is for people who LIKE to mess with settings. it's for people who want to be able to tinker with their stuff so that it performs better. if you're willing to do that, this is well worth the money. if not, I'd go for something more traditional. ... show more
