"The Steam Controller may be more expensive than the standard controllers from Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation, but we do live in a time where companies including Sony and Microsoft are selling premium controllers for 150-200."
"The early hands-on verdicts on the Steam Controller appear to be positive, so while I don't see it taking over the Xbox Wireless Controller as the most commonly used PC controller, I can still certainly see it selling reasonably well among the smaller group of core enthusiasts willing to pay more for such a peripheral."
"Reviews have been largely positive about the wireless controller's use of haptic trackpads, which let players simulate mouse controls in PC games, and of a magnetic 'puck' to sync the pad to PC, as well as charge it."
"Much of the discussion online has focused on the price, twice what the first generation of the device cost in 2015."
The Steam Controller, launching on May 4, is priced at £85 in the UK and $99 in the US. It is compatible with PCs and the Steam Deck. Designed for Valve's upcoming Steam Machine, the controller features haptic trackpads for mouse simulation in games. Despite its higher price compared to standard controllers, it is positioned between budget and premium options. Initial reviews are positive, but some gamers express concerns about the cost, which is double that of the first generation released in 2015.
