Steam deck isn’t exclusively a handheld system. With the docking station, (which I own), you can hook it up to a monitor and keyboard and use it as a straight up desktop PC. Or, you can do what I use it for, hook it up to a TV in the same way the Nintendo Switch does.

How so? The original steam controller still works flawlessly.

we are so back

Hooray for the controller, but what about the Steam Frame?

The time of Gabe is at hand

bro wheres the frame tho 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Ordering two.

Why is it more expensive outside of the US? Don't bow down to tariffs, please.

Ugh not available on my region, damnit valve let me pay for shipping

YEEEEEEEEEE

If these feel anything as good as the Deck controller features, solid!

Still patiently waiting for Steam Frame

Looks nice, still hoping for the Frame soon

Yea just noticed that also! Hopefully this gets solved?

Yes, retailers have them at way higher prices, which is not delicious.

Assuming Sony hasn't patented it to hell

Well, guess it's time to sell the Dreamhack 2014 cases. It's Valve season.

"will it run on my supershit 3000 at 527 gigafucks per splooge" y'see you don't have to ask this question if you play videogames on a device actually intended for them

Does the steam controller work with non-steam games?

I hope the Steam Machine can be purchased without the controller. It would be nice to know this before people buy this.

Now when are you gonna tell us about the steam frame!? I need to escape meta’s ecosystem

But but...there is no OK! (And confirm doesn't work, lol)

👀

Finally, after 8 years in development hell, the Steam Controller rises from the grave just in time for Half-Life 3 rumors :-)

sold out at 10:00.001 PST

May the 4th and the New Steam Controller be with you.

Feels a bit like the Atari Jaguar monstrosity, just without the numb-pad.

Any news about steam frame?

HI IM BRASTUMOST!!! HI IM BRASTUMOST!!! HI IM BRASTUMOST!!! HI IM BRASTUMOST!!!

(Due to how Blacksky works I can't embed old posts, so you'll have to click through there, unfortunately. And similarly, there've been numerous posts on Bluesky about Valve taking down reviews for mentioning developers' bigotry, while leaving up bigoted ones. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

Grip-enabled gyro aiming, too.

When I get mine, I'm going to try getting it working on my PS3 purely out of spite

Frame won't come out any time soon. The RAM in it alone is ~$200 wholesale right now. Valve already said they aren't subsidizing it, meaning the BOM is going to be ~$800. A Release price that high (minimum $1000 with a BOM that high) means its DOA compared to a $600 quest 3

I'm still concerned over the price of the Steam Frame.

Is Steam machine going to be bundled with a controller? (I don’t need 2 😅)

$20 more expensive that it should be ffs

Too expensive.

It was all true

like say here in australia, it's also $150 even though US$100 is closer to AU$140. considering our local 10% goods and services tax included in our local price and how much it realistically costs to ship an item to the other side of the planet, though... AU$150 is pretty reasonable.

Any updates on the Steam Frame?

Can I pre-install this one or do I have to wait for release

Please limit purchases to humans somehow. Long term Steam accounts, >$X spent, *something*.

??? Mine still works fine, and it's still pretty much the only one in its niche ? What makes you say it's obsolete ?

HL3 next!

Wish I wasn't terribly broke to get one, especially with my OG one having a bit of funky stuff these days. But very glad to see it's finally here

excellent, grabbing two

Wouldn't accept my payment for 30 minutes and now its sold out 😭

Yay?

Love itt!!!!! Will the price be same when buying steam machine or lower bundle price????

a hundred dollars?? what am i made of money???

@plagman.bsky.social The startup tunes are there, right?.... RIGHT?!?!!?

Not available in your region. This probably means the same for the machine and frame. It feels awful to be left out.

Regions? Please don’t leave us at the mercy of retail resellers again. The steam deck was at 400% the price for years

steam frame soon PLEASEEEEEEEEE

I appreciate the upcoming release of the Steam Controller, but add my voice to the growing number who are waiting as patiently as possible for the Steam Frame. I dislike what Meta stands for and would rather update my VR experience (from a Quest 1) with a Valve product. The sooner the better.

Sooo. I would absolutely love to design 'face plates' for your machine using my cnc router . Is there anyway i can buy an empty case? Or obtain a 3d model? If it helps i can buy you a stick of ram 😁.

Right after it was being leaked.

Based

May the Fourth be with us.

99€? Does it have gold inlays? Wtf?

wdym ? The thing's as big as a PS5 controller

It needs Steam running on the machine to have all of the special functions (because of Steam Input), but other than that it should be able to work as a normal controller on PCs without Steam installed.

It's unfortunately ARM based. So no 😢😢 The 5150's got nothing on this 😭😭

Direct, of course. Couldn't imagine them making it X-input when they want people to use Steam Input.

Machine? 😃

Too bad that because of ram prices they can't release all the hardware at once, it would have been a bigger impact imo.

When i saw excited to announce on a valve post i almost fell from my chair

You bet your ass I'm gonna play Dota 2 with this.

the prophecy was true

Expensive... will it work outside Steam?

can I trade in my old steam controller for the new one (jk)

Probably delayed once again due to RAM shortages as the result of AI data centers. Yeah, thanks, Altman!

"It's inconclusive" 🧑‍🔬 But seriously, the RAM shortage is fucking everything up... I'm personally more intrigued what this is going to mean for the HLX project, but evidence seems to suggest that they're still not entirely content locked on that just yet? Or that it isn't anymore, at least? 🤷

Take the $800 you're saving for your steam frame and invest it in the S&P 500. By the time they finally release the steam frame your investment should have grown enough to afford one.

Like I commented on Youtube, I hope the high price of this controller, is so that you can make enough profits to offset the price of the Steam Machine down to $600.

Probably better than the console equivalent even with the touchpads being obnoxious.

This product is parity with the Steam Deck. More inputs, I need more

Lot of people like the Steam Deck dawg

I asked for it. I liked the original, it just needed a second attempt.

Half life 3 confirmed

It's very intermittent, I think your queue system keeps dying (but your engineers probably know that already)

That’s… what I said. Steam Deck does that too. So do other controllers I’ve used in the past

POSSIBLY MADE BY PLANTRONICS???

but the steam frame tho :(

I think they delayed for late 2026

Already wishlisted!

$150 CDN!!!!!???? Hahaha No.

i say this with full intention of buying exactly one btw. capping it at one just doesn't seem likely imo

Steam lets you use any controller you want.
