Looks ugly as fuck and is missing pretty standard features but thanks for trying, I guess?

I hope this prompts other companies like 8bitdo and King Kong to make their own Steam-first gamepads

Ooh, I want an 8bitdo Steam controller.

What are you missing in terms of features.

[–] tombruzzo@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All the things mentioned at the bottom. No vibration, audio, or trackpad. I think what people would want in a new steam controller is the controls of the steam deck without the screen

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I would call those standard features (except vibration) though.

[–] Romkslrqusz@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Vibration is a pretty big one

[–] lud@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Alright, personally I don't really care too much about that.
