    Close enough. Welcome back the duke controller

    It doesn’t look comfy at all

    • @NEOMERCER

      November 12, 2025 at 2:55 pm

      Yeah, honestly the touch pads just look like they add way too much bulk. They should have just took a page from Sony’s book and put a singular touchpad in the center or something. Theres plenty of empty space there.

      ​@NEOMERCER Clearly you have never used a Steam Deck before. No offence of course. I believe this controller will likely be in 1st place in terms of versatility, the amount of customisation in terms of controls and settings will be amazing, I mean it already is!

    • @Isbagent007

      Agree I don’t like symmetrical joysticks and dpad positions. Not ideal for competitive fps game

    • @NEOMERCER

      November 12, 2025 at 5:37 pm

      ​@breather8758My cousin has the Steam Deck and he let me hold it. I knew the steam deck would be comfortable because of its basically the same shape and layout of the Wii U tablet which I thought was comfortable. That doesn’t necessarily mean that this new controller will be the same.

    Half life redux next 🥺🥺

  6. @RyanWildstar

    November 12, 2025 at 2:54 pm

    Steam Puck?! What is that?!

    • @morpheus297

      November 12, 2025 at 2:56 pm

      It’s wireless receiver and charger for the Steam Controller that connects to your PC by USB cable.

  7. @Zend404

    November 12, 2025 at 2:55 pm

    What about Hall effect sticks?

    • @cellscom

      November 12, 2025 at 3:22 pm

      Hall effect? You mean Half life redux?

    • @simcraftlol8475

      November 12, 2025 at 3:24 pm

      Yes, it has hall effect sticks

    • @Zend404

      November 12, 2025 at 3:37 pm

      @simcraftlol8475 Its going to be the best controller for PC then. It’s pro because it has gyro + 4 back buttons. It has trackpads which is convenient for controlling PC and the most important – symmetrical sticks. Before that the cheapest symmetrical sticks pro controller was at least $150 and this one has usb-c charging and receiver included and its x-input.

      Only competitor is dual sense edge with having advanced vibration and triggers, but that’s it.

    • @Bro-zt7xy

      November 12, 2025 at 3:50 pm

      ​@simcraftlol8475actually it has tmr sticks, which are even better

    • @Bro-zt7xy

      November 12, 2025 at 3:50 pm

      ​@Zend404it actually has tmr sticks

  8. @X862go

    November 12, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    Wow

  9. @Franfiocchi-o1i

    November 12, 2025 at 4:35 pm

    anything below 110$ is a killer price that will disrupt the stagnant controller market.

    it’s beautiful
