that assembly line looked better than the controller.


The controller completely serves it's purpose- replacement for a pure mouse control for non-controller native games.

Anyone thinking they should always use a steam controller over a 360 controller for pure controller didn't understand the point of it.

Maybe I didn't give it enough time but it definitely didn't do that for me. I gave up trying to use it as a mouse replacement and as a normal controller. Here's a video of Internet Superstar Rich Evans solving that problem much more effectively [0].

And have you ever actually tried to use something like that? Because I have and it's insanely uncomfortable.

Look- if I don't want to sit in front of my computer but want to be in front of a big screen (projector in my case).. that's because I want to be able to sit back and relax.

Holding a controller I can sitback and relax, my wrist is not moving all over the place. I'm basically stationary except for my fingers. That is HUGE for me as I otherwise sit infront of a computer all day.

How in the world do you get comfortable sitting on a couch trying to use a keyboard and mouse to play a game?


Have you used it? It's pretty good.


Yes, I also own the steam link.
