    I don’t like the look of this controller… I’m still gonna get one. Everything else I love.

    Especially that SteamOS is apparently going to become available on ARM devices.

      Arch linux ARM (the base of such steam os) has existed for a while now. Not to diminish Valve efforts, just putting in some context.

        Fex works for most games now! This is amazing.

        And now there are arm systems that are powerful enough to compete with consoles easily (consoles probably already using ARM?)

        I’m running it on my raspi but it seems like the repos have been frozen for a while now?

      Same, but at least it feels like the focus was on usability rather than looks. Keep it humble, Steam!

        I do appreciate that the grips are flared out at least a little on this controller. The 90° ones on the Steam Deck can be quite uncomfortable, especially given that it’s a pretty heavy and cumbersome device.

        My biggest skepticism is the dpad though. It looks nearly identical to the Steam Deck’s, which is easily one of the worst dpads I’ve ever used. Hopefully the underlying mechanisms and feel of it has been improved.
