Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam - Steam Deck HQ
steamdeckhq.com
Out of nowhere, Hori announced a new controller specifically made for use with Steam and the Steam Deck, with some very nice unique features:

Features:

  • 4 Custom Buttons to assign Functions
  • Full Gyro Support (only when “Steam Mode” is activated)
  • A customization feature to only activate Gyro when a specific joystick is touched
  • Continuous button pressing or “Rapid Fire” mode for face buttons
  • Supports both Bluetooth and Wired connections
  • A dedicated Steam button to start big picture mode or bring Steam up
  • A Quick Access Menu button

However it doesn’t have:

  • vibration function
  • trackpad
  • Headphone jack

It will cost around $50

      Capacitive analog sticks usable for enabling gyro, and four (afaik) fully Steam input API rebindable extra buttons, two on the back, two in front.
      Also 1/4th the price of a DualSense Edge (which I believe is the one with the two back buttons?)

      It’s a controller with Xbox layout and DualSense features. If you look at Valve’s latest news, Xbox controllers are the most common on PC. So, I guess they want to sell these to those users maybe? Butit doesn’t have hapticfeedback, that’s a bit disappointing.

      Personally, I won’t buy anything without trackpads. I want a true Steam Controller 2, the first needed an additional stick and a proper dpad.
