looks like crap,

I think it looks kinda cool. Kudos to Valve for thinking outside the box.

wasnt gonna buy it... but now that i read ppl who actually used it and their feedback... wow this is interesting.

I think ill be getting the controller to see how it feels to game on my pc.

I do feel if any other company came out with this people would jump on to disagree and call it a stupid move (I would be there to). I just feel the whole announcements by Value have been one misstep after another. Value can do wrong and I think they have done that with this console and controller announcement. Haptic feedback is one thing but playing any game with a track pad or touch screen or even the Xperia Play isn't ideal as the analogue stick adds more than people give it credit.

I'm with alot of people who are not keen on the haptic feedback. Innovation and fixing something that isn't broken are two very different things and I think i'll wait for actual gamers and not developers to tell me whether it feels decent or not.

Currently i'm still not sold on it at all and people are making a big deal like Valve somehow dropped 3 megatons this week, and frankly, they didn't, if i'm honest i'm a little concerned about their decision making.

I prefer a good analog stick(s), its the winning formula, until you can experience with something better.

Is this mandatory for Valve OS? I...hope not. I like the 360 pad on pc. This..is an owl.

How do you play a beat em up like street fighter with this?

Valve is trying too hard to be different. This doesn't look like a good controller, just look at the button layout.

That is probably the dumbest thing I've seen in my life, I don't know how people are actually looking forward to this

I was skeptical until I read up on this thing. It sounds incredible!

no analog sticks? MEH

Still PS4 its Better!!!! PS4 is the Most powerfull console EVER!!! ""

I love innovations but i think this might put alot of stress on the fingers (not thumbs but the rest of the fingers) and i've always favored PS controller design it just kinda fits for me, anyway testing before making any final conclusions is the key here.

Oh it's actually smaller than I thought it was judging by that picture.

With all the talk about Steam and Nvidia working together, there might be an underlying reason why Nvidia did not really gain the bin from Sony and MS.

Though as a consumer I wished valve had gone a different route. Nvidia shows they definetly have the tech from streaming from PC to the NV Shield.

They should have made a stream box from PC to your tv (somewhat like a reverse of a Vita TV) and make use of this different controller.

This looks odd. Dont know if I would like it

I dying to see this thing in action. This controller is truly a next gen controller. It may take some time to get used to since I've played with dual analog sticks half of my life but I'm completely willing to give it a go. Sony and M$ don't have the balls to make changes like these. Praise Gaben.

The controller certainly looks interesting but as some who doesn't and won't game on a PC, I guess I'll never really know.

Haptic feedback for dual pads? I hope they make H games for it.

It looks horrible, but at the same time i'm too intrigued to stop looking at it.
...I want to touch it all over. Even if i'm not playing on it.

PC innovation

I see the controller having a lot of potential, but my main question is this: how would I play a fighting game on it? :/

Half life 3 confirmed.. s/

Maybe I haven't read up enough on it, but i wonder how it works when playing a game like cod or splinter cell where you are required to make use of the face buttons while simultaneously moving forward. This controller seems like it would force you to stop directional momentum in order to access x/y. How could you walk and reload? I hope this question makes sense, and does anyone have any feedback?
I gotta say, the track pads seem cool but I am skeptical. Ya never know. Either way when new tech comes out and it is backed by a company like valve...you have to wonder.

looks neat, I will try it. But again i also said the Wii Fit was neat. (sigh)
But I will still use the keyboard and mouse for my pc gaming, however, a few port console games work best with a standard controller .

Am so excited to see it in action thought ill think ill stay with mouse and keyboard
But it coldnt hurt to try it out i mean cmon look at it its screams i dare u to try me
Lol but on serious note is valve so i got high hopes for it

Valve may have just created another masterpiece.

The two best controllers out right now are PS3's and 360's and they're both based on the original design of the SNES controller. I don't know why Nintendo strayed from it's near perfect design but Sony and Microsoft know not to reinvent the wheel and 2 out of the 3 major console developers can't be wrong can they? Then again this is Valve...

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
