I forgot these existed! I always wanted one…
I had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.
Not only the controller. I always had to put something heavy on the toploader or the CDs wouldn’t load properly.
What? The Steam Deck needs trackpads and L4, L5, R4, and R5 buttons! Without them I wouldn’t have been able to play modded Minecraft properly due to the amount of controls introduced by the mods I use.
They also seem to have replaced the Steam and QAM buttons with home (?) and menu buttons
I could never play Guild Wars 2 without them either, and it’s one of my most played games. One of the reasons I got a Deck too.
It also looks like we got rid of the start and select buttons as well…
If they ever drop the track pads I’m out. It’s the only reason I got the Steam Deck as I play a lot of WoW on it and they are basically required. Plus I tinker in Linux a ton too and also they are super necessary.
What kind of prank is the artist trying to pull?
What the fuck is this design
No trackpads = no thanks
Also why does the screen jut out like that?
How comes Valve is the only one to get inputs right? Not even fan renders get it right.
Nobody else is thinking of it as “PC gaming on a console”
They’re thinking in terms of “A console which is a PC”
In other words, their heads are in console mode rather than in PC gaming mode. They aren’t thinking of an effective mouse option to play paradox games and the like.
I recently finished Planescape Torment, and I can only imagine how much I would’ve hated it without the touchpads.

To buy the DLC?
Exactly. Purchasing Sunset Invasion requires high precision.
100% agree. Loved the Steam Controller. Love the Steam Deck. Drop the trackpads and my use case gets 10x smaller - I’d pass on it.
Why is it upside down?
That pad and buttons look painful.
This has got to be rage bait
My wrists are sore just looking at that shape.
They’re joking….right?
🦗
…Guys?Getting serious Wutang controller vibes.
Ragebait
It looks like an upsidedown Xbox controller with a screen in the middle.
Please don’t feed bullshit designs like this oxygen. It’s bad enough seeing all the “PS5 Pro” and “Switch 2” articles.
Switch 2 was officially announced though.
No, it wasn’t.

“Nintendo has not formally announced its next console, and has effectively ruled out releasing one anytime prior to April 1, 2024. The company said earlier this year that it wants to bolster Switch sales with new games and add-on content.”
I guess official wasn’t the right choice of words, but there’s enough info and dev kits going out means it’s not speculation anymore.
It’s all a lot of “my uncle works at Nintendo and…” Even the stuff about dev kits going out is all sillyness and nonsense.
Looks like a game gear
Here is an archive version of the link for those that don’t want to give clicks to rage-baiters.
What is this plastic frisbee assed boomerang looking horror…
I wanted it to be more like a switch for using the joysticks to play on tv. that concept looks like the center docks into the controller which might be a good way to get the effect without impinging on any nintendo patents.
