I have a couple more articles to post that may surprise you:

One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons

The Steam Controller is dead, long live the Steam Controller. Though its influence is still felt today through the Steam Deck's design and Valve's excellent gamepad support, a true successor to the owl-faced pad ain't walking through that door anytime soon. Cue YouTuber TommyB and his DIY "Steam Controller 2" for all your dual touchpad needs.

One lucky Redditor has managed to snag themselves a mythical AMD Radeon GeForce RTX RX 9070 XT. Yes, you read that right

When PC hardware manufacturers make mistakes, it's usually in the form of a problem. It might be a loose-fitting cable, a fan that spins too slowly, or thermal putty that oozes everywhere. Either way, it's rarely a good thing, and when it happens, you'll want a replacement asap. Not so in the case of one lucky Redditor, who suffered this exact scenario, only to be issued with the ultimate in rare graphics cards: An AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT plastered with Nvidia RTX logos and branding.

It's a tale that many of us have experienced at some point in our PC gaming lives. Well, the first part at least. Reddit user u/Fantastic-Ad8410 bought a new Asus TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT, only to find that it wouldn't recognise when a second monitor was plugged into it.

So, they did the natural thing, returned to the retailer and picked up a like-for-like replacement. But upon opening the box, it wasn't another Asus TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT staring at them. No, it was an Asus TUF Gaming Radeon GeForce RTX RX 9070 XT graphics card.

Oh, and one more thing: tomorrow is festive here and there'll be no news. Have fun tonight!
