But after using the Steam Controller and its tiny little puck for a few weeks to play a plethora of PC games, I’m no longer skeptical that this thing is a great controller.

Valve has announced its new Steam Controller will be available to order from 4 May, and will cost £85 in the UK and $99 in the US - prices that have raised eyebrows among some gamers.

Basically, it crams the Steam Deck ’s huge suite of inputs into a single gamepad, including those twin touchpads.
