As someone who regularly uses their computer as a TV PC, the new Steam Controller looked like the answer to my prayers, finally allowing me to replace both my DualSense controller and mini multimedia keyboard with one device. After spending the past two weeks with Valve’s new controller, I think this device has so much potential, but it’s held back by unintuitive software. What makes the Valve’s controller so appealing is the trackpads, which essentially act as a mouse and keyboard. The trackpads are far more accurate for desktop browsing compared to a joystick, with the left trackpad dedicated to scrolling and the right to the mouse pointer. With the press of a button, you can bring up the on-screen keyboard to start typing, using the trackpads to navigate each side of the keyboard.

 The Steam Controller is built for extreme customization, but its software stops the potential of Valve’s gamepad from being fully realized.  PCGamesN
