But no other game pad is going to come close to what the Steam Deck controls can do then the Steam Controller and if games will be supporting the Steam Deck controls then that should be native support for the Steam Controller.
Huge opportunity once people see what the Steam Deck controls can do, and how else will you play your games when the Steam Deck is docked.
Time to release Steam Controller 2.
Or controller games with a controller.
OFC the Steam Controller will be supported. It can only do everything a regular controller can except a d-pad and a right analogue stick.
Hm, I wouldn't be that sure. If they want to distribute SteamOS 3 as immutable system (using ostree images) and Steam as flatpak on top of that (which is the best option in my mind), there are still ongoing issues with udev rules in flatpak and the Steam Controller doesn't work out of the box on flatpak version of Steam (you need to add udev rules manually, same for VR). This doesn't bother me on PC, I don't have the Steam Controller anyway, but I can assume this could be the issue for some.
But I hope Valve will solve this before launch anyway.
We will see, maybe this will be part of base ostree image. Otherwise it will be really nice for flatpak to solve this. :-)
