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

    Looks ugly as fuck and is missing pretty standard features but thanks for trying, I guess?

    I hope this prompts other companies like 8bitdo and King Kong to make their own Steam-first gamepads

        All the things mentioned at the bottom. No vibration, audio, or trackpad. I think what people would want in a new steam controller is the controls of the steam deck without the screen

          I would call those standard features (except vibration) though.

          Alright, personally I don’t really care too much about that.
