Valve announce a reservation system for the new Steam Controller

I understand why they were not sure about the success of Steam Controller 2.
It does look bulky to me, and yes, it's not a cheap one.

Quoting: scaineThis isn't of interest to me, so I can't say for sure, but I can't think of many other big-name vendors that would do this. I mean, I expect they'll already have given this to skin-creator vendors like dbrand, but making the schematic public, directly? That's pretty cool.
Absolutely same boat!

I don't care for it, I don't even care for anything that could be made with it (custom cases, stands, whatever it might be)...

... but it's so cool, and it is part of what makes Valve the cooler company!

They even got their reviews from 2015 (and before) back. :D

Why didn't they name it differently, like, let me be creative, "Steam Controller 2"?!?
The new Steam Controller from Valve is out now - some early thoughts

Quoting: Craggles086Anyone else find headphone jack on the PlayStation controller annoying. My sound is always connected to external speakers on my computer. As soon as the PlayStation controller is connected I loose all sound.

On Windows it is a pain finding the setting to disable controller audio every time. Hope Steam gives us a setting that stays on if their controller gets audio out
Your desktop environment and/or sound system should have an option to disable any sound sink, no?

Everyone can extrapolate the line themselves.
The last line might be Windows 11 and not happening like this again.

I'm not sure what "this winter" means? We've got spring in my (northern) book, so I guess end of the year or beginning of next one?

Yeah, generally not a bad idea - though i saw (or rather see) the prices for the Index dropping once the Frame is released. And as VR isn't exactly essential, i thought i can do without it for a few months rather than not getting much anymore when selling the Index. And i'm trying to lessen my clutter anyway 😆
I want to do the same with my Index but: I have no experience selling online, don't know how to price it (since it has a few defects), and struggle with work capability in general.

Oh and in my case, I might not get the Frame asap, since I'm doing worse economically than when I got my Index - so I might do many months or a few years without VR.
Sounds like just keeping the Index for a longer while?
