Valve demonstrates Steam Controller in new video

4.5
Valve issued a video demonstrating its Steam Controller today. The game pad, which features two track pads in lieu of joysticks, is used for its series of Steam Machines, announced in September.

The controller shown in the video isn't final hardware, but rather a prototype controller lacking a touchscreen to be included in Valve's hardware beta program. Among the developers that have seen the controller, Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat said it was able to execute some of the game's more demanding moves on the pad.

They made a Steam controller? That's pretty pointless, one of the best things about PC gaming is using the keyboard!

It looks strange, but I guess I'll get the hang of it if I ever start using one.

McCutchen That controllers looks really weird to me.


It looks a little odd to me as well. I guess they are just taking a new approach when it comes to game controllers.

It's for the Steam box which is a console made by Steam.

Steam has announced that they will be releasing a console called the steam box. That is what the controller is for. So it's safe to say that the controller will be for a console
