Steam is the largest online gaming platform on PC, and almost all paid games will be released on Steam. Relying on the advantages of the platform, Steam has also launched the computer controller Steam controller.

 

To go further on the keyboard and mouse emulation, the Steam controller replaces the D-pad and right stick with a touchpad. The D-pad, which is replaced with a touchpad, is not as precise as the physical buttons, and the right stick that is replaced with a touch loses its feel completely. As one of the most important structures of the traditional controller, the disappearance of the joystick and D-pad makes it very difficult for veteran players to adapt.

 

Although the disadvantages are obvious, the advantages of the Steam controller are equally compelling. Thanks to Steam's built-in driver, all the buttons of the Steam controller can be customized, the touchpad can also be adjusted to mouse and joystick modes, and the trigger button has two key travels. By switching modes and other operations, a Steam controller can use several times the commands of a traditional controller, and the Steam controller can even replace a keyboard and mouse to a certain extent.

 

With different customization methods and a lot of experience, the Steam controller can play with a lot of possibilities. Based on the Steam platform, players can upload button configurations, or directly load high-ranking ready-made configurations, every game on Steam that supports the controller supports the Steam controller, and even some PC games that do not support the controller at all can be operated with the Steam controller.

 

Given the prohibitive learning curve, if you're a hardcore gamer who is willing to try out new devices, this controller might be for you. At present, the price of this handle on the Steam platform is about 400 yuan.
