Steam controller and a new Steam VR set. I may be spending a lot of money in the near future

    Yess, the steam controller!

    If they sell it as a standalone I might pick one up :3

    I imagine they'll sell them as a bundle and separately.

    I like this one better than the last, but it still looks too bulky to be comfortable.

    It looks like they basically just slapped the Deck controls into a smaller form factor.

    That can't not work.

    Plus the four rear buttons are capacitive (like the joysticks), so they can be used to toggle gyro controls.

    EDIT: Actually, is it the grips themselves that are capacitive, not the buttons? I am confused about how this will work.

    but it still looks too bulky to be comfortable.

    That’s what people said about the original Xbox controller, but that thing was very comfortable.

    Also, the Steam Deck itself looks huge and bulky at first glance, but it feels wonderful to hold and use.

    Alright, the VR set I've been waiting for!

    What I love about Valve is you can tell they are clearly taking stuff they learned from their earlier products (Deck, Index, Controller, Machine) to combine it and make it better.

    The most exciting thing here, for me, is Steam OS on ARM (Frame) with x86->ARM translation for old/light games

    I am excited to buy but nervous about that unannounced pricing. Specifically for the Frame. I want to grab that so that it takes the place of the Quest 2 that I have and hate since it's a Meta product, but if it's 1k then I'm much less likely to grab it.

    Steam machine

    Should have called it The Turbine

    Wow, these look neat.

    And until I see some price tags that's about as excited for things as I'm going to get.

    Or release date? Or even when preorders go live?

    Will they run Doom?

    I want the VR controllers to be functional as a real controller, I think thats the case but am confused by the wording.

    I was just thinking of a hardware upgrade since Steam Deck struggles with Expedition 33. I don't have much space (or experience) for desktops and gaming laptops are scams. I do have a TV though and would also gladly stream to Steam Deck, so I think this is just perfect.
