A specialized controller for the one single genre of PC exclusive that can comfortably be played with one hand whilst reclined.

I just realized the only keyboard shortcut I use for those games are the 5 mapmode binds and space lol.

You can rebind all kinds of poo poo and whatever so you could probably make it a perfect mapgame controller.

someone made a good config for phantom pain where the rumble has a cool texture when you pull the gun trigger

the default controls make it hard to aim but the thing is so programmable that I think the community will take the steam controller where it needs to go

People who preordered them early, I think before Rocket League and Portal 2 were included in the order, got theirs shipped a few weeks before the "real" release date.

I mean, the trackpads are cool, but it just doesn't seem like it'd make a good mouse and keyboard replacement.

I'd probably rather use it over a 360 controller, I guess.

I hate this 'preorder to play before it releases!' crap... CoD did this last year (even though it was just 1 day) and SE tried to do it with Deus Ex. If a product's ready to be sold, it's ready to be sold IMHO... They aren't pushing the release date forward for people who preorder they're just pushing it back for people who don't. I hope it doesn't become popular.

They gave a pretty back-handed apology, though. They even nixed the "early" release date.

Everything ive seen says it isnt better than m+kb which makes sense since its prime purpose isnt a replacement but a solution for people who play most of their pc games on a tv

There isn't anything better than a mouse and keyboard so I don't know why it's even a concern to people. The reason you want a controller is because having a mouse and keyboard when you're laying on a bed or a couch isn't that comfortable.

Which is why i don't understand why this exists when you can buy a Xbox or PS4 controller.

It exists because Steam wanted to make a controller to complement the other concessions they've made to TV gaming, from Big Picture mode to Steam Stream Module to the SteamBox console, most likely. Think before you post.
