"The official Steam Machine gamepad is here, and it works great on PC and Deck. But where do you sit on its $99 price?"
"With Steam Input, any of those controllers can have multiple control schemes for different game scenarios (flight, on-foot, in menus), and you swap between them with a button press."
"Valve nevertheless improved upon its misunderstood predecessor with a 2026 model that has features you can't find anywhere else."
"The new Steam Controller has drift-resistant TMR joysticks that shouldn't degrade over time - something Sony's controllers have struggled with."
The Steam Machine gamepad is designed for PC and Steam Deck, priced at $99. Many PC gamers already have preferred controllers that integrate well with Steam. Steam Input allows for customizable control schemes and onscreen menus. The new model improves upon its predecessor with features like drift-resistant joysticks and incorporates the Steam Deck's input capabilities into a single gamepad. These enhancements may not resonate with all gamers, given the existing options available in the market.
