"One of the best parts of the Steam Deck is its many different controls, and how you can customize them to let you do whatever you want with every single one of your games. Now, Valve is bringing that same level of flexibility into a new gamepad. I recently got to try it at Valve's headquarters, and it feels like the controller I've always wanted."
"Today, Valve announced the second-generation Steam Controller. It's a Bluetooth controller that works with any device that runs Steam, including Valve's new Steam Machine PC and Steam Frame VR headset, and comes with a puck that serves as a low-latency wireless connector and doubles as a charging station. It will launch in early 2026 for a price that's yet to be announced, though Valve is aiming to make the price competitive with other controllers with "advanced inputs," according to hardware engineer Steve Cardinali."
Valve is producing a second-generation Steam Controller, a Bluetooth gamepad compatible with any device that runs Steam, including the Steam Machine PC and Steam Frame VR headset. The controller ships with a puck that functions as a low-latency wireless connector and a charging station. Valve plans to launch the controller in early 2026 and aims for pricing competitive with other controllers that feature advanced inputs, according to hardware engineer Steve Cardinali. The design continues Valve's focus on many inputs and deep per-game customization, building on the first-generation model's trackpads, single joystick, and distinctive bulbous shape.
