  What do you love about it over something like, say, the standard Xbox controller? That’s what I use for PC and it’s been very reliable.

    Not op, but they have back triggers, better ergonomics (imo), nice button feel and hall effect triggers and joysticks.

    Also RGB and usb dongles on some models

    • Hall effect sticks (no stick drift)
    • came with a dock
    • can use BT or the 2.4GHz USB (I find this more stable at distance)
    • better build quality

  I don’t know if it’ll be like the original Steam Controller, but if so, the point is that it’s the most-viable mouse alternative that you can have in a gamepad form factor.

  If a game can be played with a traditional gamepad, then sure, there are a bunch of good options.

  I mean, it’s supposed to have touchpads. If you don’t need or want those, there’s little reason to choose this controller over a more standard one.
