A Brief Overview of the Steam Controller

The Steam Controller

The steam controller is made by Valve, creators of the massive online gaming platform Steam. The purpose of the Steam Controller is simple: bring PC gaming to the living room, and make your PC easily accessible from the couch. This has been Valve's goal over the past 3 years, and is supported by SteamOS, valve's attempt at a console-like interface for PC gaming, and the Steam Link, and easy plug-and-play option for streaming games from a users main, heavy-duty gaming PC to their living room TV. 

     The front of the Steam Controller features two circular track pads (one of which doubles as a D-Pad), an analog stick, 4 standard ABXY buttons. On the top, there are 2 shoulder buttons and 2 dual-stage triggers (meaning there is a standard pull, and then a further click which can perform a second action. Around back you will find two grip buttons which can be bound to any key or function.
