Valve Steam controller

Enjoy complete freedom and exceptional precision when playing games from your Steam library. This wireless game controller is designed for the Steam ecosystem and offers extensive customization through the Steam Input interface. It is compatible with PCs, laptops, Steam Deck devices, and other supported platforms, and includes all essential controls for a wide range of game genres.

Key Features

• Easy connection and charging via Steam Controller Puck: The included receiver acts as both a wireless transmitter and a charging dock, where the controller magnetically attaches. The controller also supports Bluetooth connectivity or USB-C cable connection.

• Magnetic TMR joysticks: The joysticks use TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) technology, ensuring high precision and reduced wear. They also support capacitive touch input.

• HD haptic feedback: Built-in haptic motors provide precise tactile feedback during gameplay.

• Gyroscope with Grip Sense detection: The Grip Sense feature enables gyroscope activation via capacitive grip detection on the handles. The function can be customized and reassigned to other controls.

• Trackpads: Two trackpads allow precise control even in games typically designed for mouse and keyboard input.

• Four customizable rear buttons: Additional buttons on the back allow command mapping without removing thumbs from the joysticks or trackpads.
