HORI, a manufacturer of popular gaming accessories have today revealed the Wireless Horipad for Steam. So if you're in need of a gamepad, this might be for you.
Got really excited for a Steam Controller like controller… Missing the track pads? Can barely be considered a “Steam Deck” like controller without them… This is no different from an Xbox controller minus a few buttons. Hell id rather use a PS controller since they have a trackpad!
Yep. I’ll keep my Dualsense, thank you very much. The trackpad is invaluable for things like weapon selection, and having the gyro default to on means I don’t have to take my hands off the face buttons to aim. Also, flick stick rules.
Yeah, it definitely needs trackpads that are easy to reach in order to be a Steam Deck controller. (And I’m saying “easy to each” because the awkwardly placed Playstation touchpad doesn’t count.)
I’m curious about this part, though:
Gyro in the “Steam mode”. With the sticks having a touch sensor too.
That sounds like an advantage over a Playstation or Switch controller. I’m guessing that means you could enable the gyro just by touching the analog stick, without having to press a button. That’s like what most people did on the Steam controller, where the gyro would enable when you touched the trackpad.

Meh. These are just Hori controller with Steam logos and Steam Input integration. Don’t see anything special.

I love gyro, need more controllers using them
It’s pretty much a standard feature at this point. Unless you’re an Xbox player.
That’s the one I’m stuck with
