    If you don’t need trackpads or touch sensitive sticks, there are better options out there. If you do need those things and want input parity with Steam Deck, it’s going to be a great experience.

    There will also certainly be community developed drivers in a few months so you can use it outside of Steam.

      “If you don’t need trackpads or touch sensitive sticks, there are better options out there.”

      Not challenging this, more a market research, what would be those alternatives?

      I play most my games via Steam Linux PC. What would be a better plug and play option to the new Steam Controller?

      Very likely. Kind of odd that they don’t come with this functionality by default, since even PS5 controllers worked with PC at launch.

        I love Steam hardware, but yes, it’s close to unacceptable that it doesn’t default to like xinput or whatever.
