Steam Controller: The Ars Technica review

Ars Technica says Valve’s Steam Controller is well built and innovative, with sturdy construction, rear buttons, triggers, and touchpads that can mimic mouse-like control.

The review highlights the controller’s promise as a PC gaming input device, especially for players who want an alternative to a standard mouse and gamepad.

But Ars Technica questions whether the Steam Controller does enough to stand out at its $99 price point.

The verdict suggests strong hardware and ideas, but uncertain value for Valve’s broader living-room PC gaming push.
