I scrolled down to post this, but you worded it more succinctly than I could. Bravo!
If this is true, this is a really cool feature, and I would be curious to see how it could be utilized with Steam Input for most games.
That's the thing. Everyone seems positive about this but... what do you do with it?
I'm also curious how developers use this feature. The Dreamcast VMUs were a cool idea but it never caught on.
I wonder if it could sense when you were about to pick it up and start the power on or wake up process
Trombone champ time
Or maybe Theremin Conquerer?
Theremin Theocrat
Glass Harmonica Erotica
tl;dr for the part that matters to me: still not even a hint of a release date or even an announcement
edit: I'm aware the official announcement came out hours later
This comment surely aged nicely /s
this particular article hasn't been updated as of writing this, and I'm sure they also didnt expect immediate announcement after publishing it either. I wouldn't call less than 24 hours aged though. more like "oh, what impeccable timing"
They say early 2026
yeah the announcement was pretty soon after i wrote that
My VR controllers can't even properly tell when I've set them down and they have touch sensors in them. I do not know why sometimes setting the controllwrs down, still has them being tracked with my hands until I go out of my way to show my empty palms to the tracking cameras.
If Valve makes this work well, I'll know 100% that it's the software that sucks for my situation.
I need a controller that can tell how hard I am mashing the buttons and games reacting appropriately.
They have keyboards like that, but other than analog triggers I don't know of any controllers with that feature.
Sony Sixaxis. 256 degrees of being pressed on basically every button but two.
Force sensor, accelerometer, ... 🤣
@Fubarberry I'm waiting for one of these so hard! I want a better experience playing rim world with the deck docked to my tv. Xbox controller works but it's not fun to use. I have an original steam controller but I never found it a good fit. Something closer to the steam deck would be perfect!
HOW DO I UPDATE HARDER I WANT THIS NOW
