Also fun fact: I still have the OG Steam Controller and box from **2015**! 👀

I’m not going to lie and say the original controller saw much use over the years, but I’m going to make it a point to make the new one my main controller for my memory foam beanbag gaming!

Okay real talk: I can't be the only one that has noticed that the 2nd generation Steam Controller looks similar to the controller from Atari's failed Jaguar console.  This is something I noticed immedietely when Valve unveiled this new Steam Controller and I cannot unsee the resemblance! 😅

I was able to buy a Steam Controller 2

Eh, no biggie, I'm in no rush.

Hardware reviewer TechyTalk accidentally leaked the $99 Steam Controller 2. The 'Ibex' features 35-hour battery life and new TMR thumbsticks, but completely drops the 3.5mm audio jack. #SteamController2 #PCGaming #TechLeaks #Valve

Steam Controller: Official Overview and Quick Start Guide

I like the idea and I was expecting second generation of Steam Controller. Most likely I'm going to buy it.

But here's my take about one of the points I heard in early reviews.

Integrated battery isn't "modern". It's a "oh shit, now I need to charge my controller" or "it's battery degraded and now I have to keep the cable close". I hate this about "modern" controllers. Steam Controller (1st gen) and XBox One S controllers were cool because you could just swap rechargeable batteries in half a minute and continue playing in wireless mode.

But in other aspects it's still a great controller. Those touch pads and configurable back buttons is what an entire industry lacks. And that's why I'm still planning to buy it despite this change.
