Valve Steam Controller Review: It May Be My Favorite Controller, Period

CNET gave Valve’s new $99 Steam Controller a strong review, praising its comfort, responsiveness, and standout haptics.

The controller brings a Steam Deck-like layout to PC and living-room gaming, with trackpads, back paddles, gyro controls, and wireless charging support.

CNET says it’s a great companion for Steam Deck and Steam gaming, and it earned Editors’ Choice recognition.

The main downsides are limited compatibility and missing features, including no headphone jack and no support for Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation.
