Update: Valve confirmed their support via Steam Input.

@gamingonlinux That's great that we're finally seeing a third-party Steam controller happen! Here's hoping more companies do some, too

(still holding out hope for an official Steam Controller 2 though...)

@gamingonlinux These look cool! I love Hori controllers. I hope I can pick one up!
@gamingonlinux
Might be worth getting, Hori has a stellar track record, but I'm comfortable with my current controllers too
@gamingonlinux hori really said fuck it and make steam controller 2 huh
@gamingonlinux Completely on board until they said no rumble. I guess it’s too hard to combine rumble and gyro?

@gamingonlinux This looks great and I will definitely buy one if they let me, but I can't get over the color name for "Shiny White", it's written like it was pronounced by Hank Hill

シャイニー ホワイト
"Shainii Howaito"

@gamingonlinux Hi Liam, do you know if there is a #VR #treadmill compatible with #linux? I thought of buying a #valve #index once I have money and time to use it and I imagine myself running through rpg worlds but with plain vr you are not supposed to move a lot. I wrote katvr but their techsupport reaponded me that they only support windows.
@gamingonlinux based on that feature set, if it gets released here and is comfortable i think it might replace my dualsense as my main controller

trackpads would've been nice tho

@gamingonlinux I’m really glad that an actual reputable controller manufacturer has deemed making a controller specifically for the Steam Deck worth it, really excited to see what future controllers might be able to do with Steam Input support.

That being said this is probably a no-buy from me? No rumble or trackpads are a tough sell for me when I already have both a PS4 and PS5 controller with those. I just wish there was a controller with both (I don’t think the respective back paddles on the Sony controllers have support for Steam Input?).

Those looks pretty awesome! Valve finally has a controller mascot again!
@gamingonlinux I have the controls and form of the steam deck without the screen on my wishlist for the steam controller 2
