Steam controller looking polished

It's very much an ad, but nice to see more gameplay scenarios.

Love the concept - don'tt believe the simplicity. The bit where he types is just insane - like he is using both analog inputs at once to aim separately.

Plus maybe it's the lighting but the "thumbnail" hands look so photo shopped it's unreal (or should I say source).

Agreed on the typing thing but maybe there's a mind link we're not aware of. Seriously though, at least it's not overly expensive. 50 bucks isn't outrageous, so long as it performs at least at the level of an xbox360 controller, which seem to go for at least 35 bucks for wireless versions.

The mind link was never more present after the smartphone came out. I watch mobile noobs taking several minutes to type what I can in seconds.

SC2 pro gamers clock in at over 400 APM, with records over 800. 300 APM is about where you want to be before you even consider yourself a competitive player!

But we're not sure yet, right? That doesn't mean it isn't possible, but you will def need to practice, just like the pros.

I really like the concept of using 2 directional pads to make keystrokes. If you can play a bullet hell game, why is that type of movement not considered probable?

I'm definitely one of those geezer noobs when it comes to mobile typing. I just use voice-to-text, which is pretty accurate nowadays. I wonder if they considered putting a mic in the controller and going that route. Too $$$ probably.

It looks like a good controller.

I still don't think any controller will ever replace kb&m for fps and there's no way you could play an rts or a moba on it, but I'd certainly play the Witcher or Batman.
