I am not sold on it, but I am willing to give it a go.

Uhh.. I don't know. Will have to wait until I try it, but I will say that I am not feeling it from what I see/have read.

You guys are interpreting this controller all wrong. This is just a handheld console that will play one game and one game only....Half-Life 3!!!!!

Wouldn't it be crazy if they made it so that Half-Life 3 was only playable on SteamBox? That would sell a lot of those.

That controller looks really odd.

Not gonna lie...I would buy it. The controller does look odd, but, with how I think the control pad is set up, it would be comfortable for your finger tips, but maybe not so much for your palms and wrist...Of course I thought the WiiU pad was going to be incredibly uncomfortable and it actually is one of the most comfortable controllers.

The WiiU Pro controller is plenty comfortable.. Tablet controller could be a lot better, IMO..

It just looks like it's doing this: O_O


I'd give it a try, but I'm not particularly sold on it. I haven't really liked pseudo controllers via touch on the iPad and the like.

Valve is starting to turn into a Nintendo with all this innovating, Valve go back to making games and stop with your Steam TV bs and funky looking controllers, let Nintendo handle the weird stuff!

ps. Steam Box is like a apple product, youll need to update every 6 months to play the latest releases.

Just sayin.

Wow...that's definitely the most unique controller design I've seen since we got the N64. I'm wondeing about those back buttons though. Anyone have a rear view of where they are located?
