Yeah saw that earlier, not impressed so didn't even bother making a thread for it, it's just a gamepad with a different analog controller now, super uninspiring.

As the controller continues to look like a freaky science experiment... Valve... Quit experimenting and make good games again!!!

You are not a hardware company damn it!!!

D-Buttons are not a good thing but I really want to try these out and see how they feel...

Also, ABXY buttons? Really? Couldn't you think up your own button names? Maybe thats a bit nitpicky but still...Playstation came up with new names, why can't everyone else?

I think it's an interesting approach to do the directional buttons as separate buttons instead of a cross.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I still don't like the weird pad things, but at least now it has decent button position. So is a progress I guess.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Should be QWERTY lol

I knew the first layout wasn't good, but not outside of the touch pads, it looks like like a Nintendo/Xbox/PlayStation one. Might be the best design, but was looking forward to some innovation.

Still, I want to try out those pads. I have a feeling one might turn into a stick before they are done.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!
