A very special livestream tonight, keyboard and mouse vs Steam Controller

By - | Views: 17,053
We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcasting with an important announcement. Tonight at around 7:30 PM UTC myself and Samsai will face off in a livestream. We will see if a Steam Controller can beat a mouse and keyboard.

Samsai will be sticking to his guns with the mouse and keyboard, while I will be attempting not to embarrass myself with the Steam Controller.

You will be able to watch this momentous event on my livestream channel here.

Quoting: maodzedunOh, come on - that's just click bait. Stupid people might watch and think: "And that's why the Steam Controller sucks".

How the fuck is it clickbait exactly?

I saw a guy being the best in a csgo match with the sc, so I don't expect anything less from you lol.

He's had a lot more practice with it, and he spent a lot of time configuring the settings to how he liked and had a decent config for himself. A lot of the part of the stream I saw was spent configuring and tweaking the controller settings, so it's definitely not even remotely to a fair comparison - between Liam and the CSGO dude, or between the Steam Controller and KBM.

Have steam controller, can confirm - getting used to FPS on it is very difficult.

Non precision games though? Works well.

I would love if it they made a version where the trackpads could unscrew and you could screw in joysticks or some other mod.

Valve has said they hope people will Mod their Controller - I'm not sure what they means.

I know I mostly went back to keyboard/mouse for FPS games, but now that I think about it, I should try it with the gyro. With the exception of aiming, I would rather sit back and use the gamepad.
