Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam - Steam Deck HQ
steamdeckhq.com
Out of nowhere, Hori announced a new controller specifically made for use with Steam and the Steam Deck, with some very nice unique features:

Features:

  • 4 Custom Buttons to assign Functions
  • Full Gyro Support (only when “Steam Mode” is activated)
  • A customization feature to only activate Gyro when a specific joystick is touched
  • Continuous button pressing or “Rapid Fire” mode for face buttons
  • Supports both Bluetooth and Wired connections
  • A dedicated Steam button to start big picture mode or bring Steam up
  • A Quick Access Menu button

However it doesn’t have:

  • vibration function
  • trackpad
  • Headphone jack

It will cost around $50

    50?

    So they left out vibration so it wouldn’t be the usual 60?

    Those savings don’t take the price down to “will buy” they take the featureset down to “will never buy”.

      Yup. I’m still waiting for the perfect controller that has gyro and bindable paddles through Steam Input. This is finally a controller that delivers those things, but then lacks such a basic feature like rumble. I really hope they have a pro version planned.
