I would like to see a fix where when I turn off my steam deck and when I turn it back on that I would not have to go and re parse and save again as almost every time I turn of then on few days later or even few hours later when I'm in game mode and go to the console tabs the are empty and have to go to desk top mode click parse and save to steam it's been doing it for over a year! If u know of a fix I'd love to know
That controller has a big design flaw, it cant be vertically straight like that. The deck itself has the screen space in the middle. Without that a controller needs to be angled, like most controlers are.
Yes, I saw the CAD model in the thumbnail and was like "Oh god, please someone tell the person doing this project to offset the angle a bit like regular controllers do."
I mocked this up when the cad files were released a while back. the idea with this is that the side swivel is adjustable. I have another one that can hold a mobile device for use as a Steam Link. th-cam.com/video/eBasF9492Sw/w-d-xo.html
@@misaroorasimI think, the issue is that you will have to bend your hands. Steam Deck is wide, so the handles being parallel makes sense. However, for regular controllers it's good to add an angle there
I am in no part related to my knowledge to that controller. I was informed a few years ago the sides should be tilted out when I drew up a rough draft shortly after docking my Deck the first time, in the middle of the year the Deck came out. I forget the year, I was a Q2 of the first year. lol
@@spritely Because the steam deck is the best controller most reason is the track pad. It's infinite better than dualsense edge. Although I like the ds edge metal back buttons.
Steam Deck controller The custom Steam Deck controller looks neat, and is exactly what I'm asking for. Its basically the opposite of what Sony did with their PS5 tablet. Absolutely gorgeus and I would pay a full price for (whatever that means, but hopefully under 100 Euros). I hope Valve license this, supports and sells it on their platform. So I can buy it with my Steam money, rather than Amazon or a random shop. Steam money cards is so good.
Civilization I play this series since version one (starting on SNES in the 90s for me, really good version optimized for gamepad). I skipped 3 and 4, but since 5 I'm in again. Man, those memories! And thanks to Linux, no more playing on Windows. I thought that I was going to miss out on this newest version, but thankfully it will be compatible day 1! Exciting on multiple levels! Edit: Thankfully it does not require an EA account to play offline! But it will have Denuvo... man, usually I skip games with Denuvo. Maybe I wait until sale and if the DRM is removed... sad.
My dream option for the next Steam Deck and any Steam controller would be glass topped trackpads. If we could get super precise trackpads like a Macbook or high end windows laptop, I'd be soooo happy.
I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea. I'd rather have it made of a durable plastic, or some metal alloy. Making it glass would just make it more brittle and/or expensive without much gain.
@@Ferkiwi I've repaired laptops for over a decade and almost never have seen a glass trackpad break. They're tempered glass, they're very strong and the control gains are immense.
@@WhatAboutZoidberg Laptops have lids, a controller gets much more punishment. I work at Samsung and I've seen plenty of broken tempered glass on touchscreens. Can you explain in which manner the glass helps with "control gains"? If you just prefer the texture, it would make more sense to separately sell glass stickers (like screen protectors). Many places already sell vinyl covers for the steam deck trackpads that add different texture (and it seems some people actually feel better control when the vinyl has more friction/grip, instead of being smooth like glass).
Steam controller looks cool, but the whole reason I love the steam deck is the width, so I'm not particularly interested in getting one should it come to retail.
One tip I would be to the creator.. the Steam Deck is a lot wider than a traditional controller. This makes the angle of the grips comfortable. But with a controller where your arms and hands are much closer together, the grips need to angle out more.
They should the Steam Controller as the basis for it. It was already comfortable and adding extra buttons and an extra joystick and it would be perfect.
I kind of want this, but that's a big kind of. If I'm at my desk and I'm playing a game I would want to use a controller with, I would just use an xbox controller. If it's something like Civilization that mouse functionality works better in, I would just use mouse and keyboard. I would really only use it if I was playing something like Civ on the couch in the living room, which I would never do.
Im so happy with the recording feature because when i used to record my rivals of aether replays I had to set them to times two speed to make them normal speed due to my terrible laptop so now I can easily share when I clown some guy once Rivals of Aether 2 comes out on the 23rd im gonna be reping the deck gang boys
I agree with the ergonomic concerns others have posted. Think about using the Joy Cons in the girp that comes with the Switch. I think thats about the size comparison and that thing is not very comfortable even with the slightly asymmetrical palm rests. There's a ton of third party angled grips that try to make those feel better in the hand. I think that controller concept needs some kind of angle.
I'd very much want a controller with the comfort on my hands the the Steam Deck controls offer, specially the leveled thumb stick placement instead of the weird Xbox design
@@Cute_Maxi And that is problem. Steam deck is wide. This thing will be narrow. Without change in angle of handles user will get carpal tunnel problems in nick of time.
@@Cute_Maxiit is not the same ergonomics. It would be the same ergonomics if it was the same width. Hold your hands about a foot apart and clench your hands like you're holding the Deck, now bring them 6 inches apart while keeping your hands parallel. See what that does to your wrists?
I would prefer if the steam deck could be used as a standalone controller via bluetooth/wifi for an external PC. All the inputs it has plus even the thouch screen could have soft buttons for additional controls.
I've been seeing the renders of "steam controller 2" that are just the steam deck without the screen and it's actually a horrendous idea. The thing I hate most about the steam deck is the tiny square touch pads. they're too small, the shape makes them a night mare to use as a d-pad or emulating an anologue stick, and they're too easy to click in leading to a lot of accidental accuations. I understand why they are the way they are for the steam deck, but on a dedicated controller where you don't have to worry about how much bigger and bulkier you're making what is supposed to be a portable console they should be swapped for larger round pads with the click in issue fixed, though they don''t need to be as big as the og steam controller
The problem I have with Civ 7 and Linux support, is that 2K games stops supporting Linux before Windows; leaving Linux players unable to play with Windows users. Running Civ in Proton or WINE stops online play because of age restrictions, following 2K Support's instructions didn't resolve the issue
Chess Mess is fun, I suck at it, but I think its because I am still figuring out how to play haha, but it's the type of game that I really enjoy, and suspect I will be playing it a lot.
Ok I'm sorry, but he literally just took a Steam Deck and removed the screen... He didn't even remove the speakers. People have made mockups like this already and it's very bad ergonomically, only reason it works for the Deck is because the control surfaces are a lot further apart.
Needs greater ergonomics. The closer the hands are, the more angled the wrists need to be so not to stream the shoulders position. This is why console controllers taper outward in an angle to the palms in a degree for the tilt of the wrist.
I like the idea of another Steam controller, but I don't like that design at all. The Tecno Pocket Go controller design looks like a better design for a Steam controller from an ergonomic stand point.
I just want for my Steam Controller and Steam Deck the left trackpad to be mappable as a tackad WASD or Thumbstick :/ I think it is no longer possible to map it like that (?)
I like the steam controller that came out a long time ago. I just wish it was smaller like the playstation controllers not so big like the xbox. I think if they started to make them again they would sell well. I just wish I would have bought two instead of just one.
You will need a custom PCB to house the USB Controller, the batteries for the controller, the USB-C charging/Connecting port and for everything to connect together. How do you think all the buttons of the Steam Deck will fit together if you can't plug them into something? The current Steam Deck modules plug into the main motherboard, where the USB Controller is to get the signals from the parts.
Handhelds, in general, are not really giving the best experience for online PvP games. I suspect that a huge chunk of the GTAV Steam Deck players are playing the solo campaign, anyway. So yeah, it might fall in the most played list, but solo rpg games from the same period, like Witcher 3, are still in the top 20. It's a really bad move, from Rockstar, to remove the possibilty from players, but I'm not sure it's going to have that much of an impact. Time will tell.
6:00 like I said before, noone plays gta 5 for the online part on deck. It was awful on consoles and even worse on pc - only sheople with masochistic tendencies would play it online, especially on the deck...

They'll discover this once they do a 3d print test.
The controller is an intreaguing idea and the design looks cool, but it also looks really straining to use for any extended amount of time.

Looks slightly clunky. If the PS5 had a bigger track pad in the center, that would do it for me.
Why is dudelings not compatible with google pixel 9 pro XL???
Sucks should be below the track pads imo
