This guy will have to wait for his younger brother.
It was available to buy starting noon local time. I refreshed the page until the buy option became available, but kept getting an error when submitting payment. Waited about half an hour and now it’s sold out. Ni modo I guess.
Xbox controllers are bad. I have two with stick drift. The steam controller has TMR sticks. They should never drift as long as the springs don’t wear out. They also have a few other goodies. They are more comparable to the Xbox elite controller.
They don’t even have gyro. I used Xbox controllers for many years but nowadays they feel like something from ancient times.
And to think Gyro could become much more mainstream had it became a part of Xinput.
If all 3 console manufacturers had it, it’d alleviate the concern publishers have of having a cross-platform release with discrepant features, thus allowing more games to support it.
But no, of course they won’t do it. Jokes on me for expecting Microsoft to do anything remotely useful to the consumer.
DualSense has gyro, but it seems like no games actually use it (steam input means this can’t happen with the Steam Controller)
