Priced at 85 pounds I don't think that bad at all considering the higher end Elite controllers from Sony and Xbox both cost 200, and many third party controllers are well over 100.

Key Features:

• Magnetic thumbsticks (TMR)
• Full set of inputs to play your whole Steam library
• 4x haptic motors for high definition rumble
• 8.39 Wh battery; 35+ hours of gameplay on a single charge
• Steam Controller Puck (USB cable included) enables plug-and-play low-latency wireless connection & easy magnetic charging

Plug and play with the Steam Controller Puck
One puck, two jobs: It?s a wireless transmitter that provides a fast, stable connection for your Steam Controller. It's also a charging station, connecting to your Controller magnetically with a satisfying click. Prefer using Bluetooth or USB? Steam Controller supports those too.

Next-generation magnetic thumbsticks
Steam Controller comes with magnetic thumbsticks using TMR technology, designed for improved feel, responsiveness and long-term reliability. They also support capacitive touch to enable motion controls.

High definition rumble
Steam Controller's powerful motors are capable of handling complex waveforms for immersive, accurate haptics.

Grip-enabled gyro
We're calling it Grip Sense, and it's a new input for Steam Controller that enables gyro with capacitive touch. Hold and release to enable and disable gyro aiming. You can also map it like any other button.

Customizable for Steam Input

Steam Controller was designed with all the inputs for all your games. Paired with Steam Input, it?s the ultimate customizable controller. Thanks to its input parity with Steam Deck, Steam Controller will be pre-populated with community configurations for thousands of games from day one, or you can make and share your own.
