What makes me truly curious on the Steam Controller 2 is just — why?

For me its more like "why so late?". This really should´ve accompanied the Steam Deck launch. But I´d take it. Damn will I take it. Another Day 1 preorder for sure!

I cant say I ever loved the first Steam Controller, but I did love a lot ABOUT it. I´m so glad Valve kept and improved on its concepts for the Deck.

Quoting: CyborgZetaWhy do these Steam Deck competitors never have trackpads? How do you expect me to navigate a desktop, and Windows at that, without at least one trackpad?

Yeah, thats my #1 proplem with this and most other devices. Even apart from desktop-use and mouse-based-gaming, thanks to the excellent steam-input, the trackpads have endless ways to be utilized. Its hard to imagine going back to anything without em and its also the main reason I really need Valve to make a new Steam Controller.

Looks alright, but its time for Valve to release the Deck-controls as a standalone-controller. Everything else just feels backwards at this point.

Looks nice. I never fully understood how to play the old Spy vs. Spy back in the day (I was VERY young when I played it on C64, probaply ~5 years old), but I found it to be very interesting and remember it as something really unique to this day.

Not a fan of this fake-hype-BS. Usually its not sign of anything good to come. But I´m just as highly interested as in any new handheld PC that gets revealed.

From that second teaser image, it looks a lot like the Steam Deck.

I totally agree. But thats a good thing so far :grin:

Spoiler, click me

Spoiler alert: Its actually not a device, its a F2P Gacha game!! :woot: *crowd goes wild* :woot: /badjoke

Shockingly it turns out, its not the best business strategy to make it harder for customers to buy and use your products :wink:

Now lets hope Ubi realises the "use" part of this equasion too by finally getting rid of their launcher and any forced-online crap etc...

I still like their games, but somehow they don´t seem to like my money :huh:

I dont really expect Valve to bring a Deck 2 before 2026/27 and for the overall market I believe this to be a good thing. Maybe the following chip generation will be the one.

But DAMN, WOULD I BUY IT INSTANTLY!!! xD

I love my Deck to death and for me personally it feels like the right time for an upgrade now. Most of the competitors seem nice and they all have their allure, but the Deck is still by far the best package overall... so far I can´t see myself settling for anything else but a true Steam Deck 2.
Still, a second USB-C port would´ve been nice, Valve :tongue:

Quoting: RavenWingsI´d love to have a look. Is there any way to get an invite, or does Valve only pick users by some criteria for now?

Deadlock steam forums are full of threads by people handing out free invites.

Got one this way, thanks for the tip! ^^
