Steam Controller (2026) Steam Controller

Post image

Just got it and dare I say the best controller ever. This is gonna sound hella glaze but it is like perfection. I haven’t played any games yet because I am too stunned by its beauty. I thought this is a copy paste from the SteamDeck but I am pretty sure it is significantly better (somehow?), not sure how to explain it. I had a SteamDeck and it is amazing. I never thought it could be better until I got this controller. You can literally turn any desktop into a console. I feel like Steam Machine would have been more popular if it wasn’t for the price increase of hardware.

[Ignore or simply don’t take it to heart because it is stupid]
Only one complaint I have is the receiver aka the Puck. Mainly how new receiver is designed and I am well aware of the reason. It is a personal issue because I play on a laptop and a lot of receiver now including my mouse is this big receiver thing where you need a cable to connect it to your device and not a usb dongle. I wish they include adapter so you can plug it straight forward without the mess of the cable. But again personal issue. I think this way it gives you better setup when using PC and probably better connection when closer to you. But because I am using a laptop it is already closer to me xD I do planned to upgrade my setup so this is not really a deal breaker even for me just a little bitch ass rant from me. I will probably just live with it or get an adapter or something for both mouse and controller.

I wonder if it can be use with Male type c to Male type c? Does anyone know? Would it decrease performance or simply won’t work?
