Review: Perfect controller - This is the most innovative and exciting controller I have owned. The quality is excellent, the ideas are useful and well chosen, the customization software is great and the fact that it allows a practically endless number of titles previously only playable in the very specific conditions of your PC now to be approached on the couch changes and adds to the experience of those titles. Most interestingly, it is not only a perfect controller, but an excellent input device on its own, and I found myself using it to work on the Unreal Engine Editor, meaning, using it for work on certain tasks and switching them from mouse and keyboard. Lots of devices have targeted that before (for example, the Leap), and none have succeeded. That speaks a lot for this controller. It is necessary to understand what to expect from this controller in order to avoid disappointment: No, it is not a plug-and-play experience. If you are expecting to plug the controller and start playing immediately feeling and upgrade from the xbox controller, then stop, this is not the controller for you. If you are willing to spend a mild amount of time tweaking and changing some options in the customization menu, then you probably are ok. Most of the most popular games already have excellent mapping options prepared by the community and your configuration will only be choosing one and applying it. Well configured, it beats titles with native xbox controller support, and you will have fun. If you want to play games that dont have controller support or that are inimaginable with a controller (for example Civilization) then you are in for a treat and this will be one of your best purchases. Buy right now. Lastly, If you have owned before devices that were intended to be tweaked and personalized to death, and getting into those menus and spending hours making the device work just for you is part of the experience you love and seek, then you will love this controller, and you will appreciate the absurd amount of options there just for you to play with. This is not necessary to use the controller, by the way. You can stay with the community mappings if that's your thing. So, in concussion? This is my new ideal controller, not only for play, but for certain work task that I didn't imagine i would switch to a device like this. I just love it to death. I would recommend it to anyone. It is different to what you are used to, so just try it. But, stay away from it if you: a) dont want to configure anything, just want plug and play, because this is not intended to be, and b) want all your games to play the same with the device, ej, the ease and familiarity that comes with an xbox controller, where you can guess the functionality of all buttons from the go. Here, every one of your games will play different, so you have to kind of relearn to play each game. Think of it like this: It is not the same controller, but a tweaked version for each particular game. I hope this helps to make up your mind. Have fun.
Review: Takes some time to get used to, but a really great controller once you do! - I got a Steam Link, so I thought "if the controllers was basically designed to go with the link, shouldn't I get one?" I'm glad I did! The steam controller is a great new entry into the controller market. The ability to remap anything and everything has made getting the perfect layout easier than ever. You can remap anything to anything, including the gyro and the start/back buttons. As an example, I set up "One Finger Death Punch" to use the left touchpad as the left mouse button and the right touchpad to be the right mousebutton, so all I have to do is just lightly touch each side to play rather than moving my thumb back and forth between the B and X buttons as you do with other controllers. I will say that it takes a little bit of time to get used to it, especially using the right hand touch as your camera joystick. On some games it works really well and on others it will take some tweaking of the sensitivity and settings (fiddling with deadzone, joystick vs mouse camera, etc). That said, one of the really cool things about the controller is that they've made your settings uploadable and searchable. Before you even start a game, you can find tweaked and custom layouts along with "user counts" so you can pick the one that people have found to be the best for playing that game. You can pick them and then tweak them just a little bit further, too! For an example of what you can do, I have mine set up in a few FPS games so that when I pull the left trigger (bringing up aiming), the gyro activates and I can do fine aiming by moving the controller slightly so I can get that headshot that might have been hard using a joystick to aim. The triggers are also double mode...you can set the partial pull and full pull to be separate actions. For example, in rocket league, it can accelerate as an analogue switch as you pull it, but if you pull it all the way it can activate turbo. The only thing I'd change is that the left side touch pad /Dpad is a little bit stiffer than I'd like. It's just a personal preference, though, and it may wear in a little bit and get softer. Of course, I could just change it to register touches in the quadrants as the Dpad directions, too. For the same price as many other controllers (once you buy the adaptor), this is a great device. While it does take some time to get used to, it's great once you learn your way around it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this controller by itself with your pc or do you need to buy the steam link unit as well?**
A: If you're using a PC, then you do not need the steam link. The Steam link is used for connecting your steam library and all of the other aspects of steam to a tv, so that you can play it from a couch.

**Q: Does it come with a wireless dongle/adapter to connect it wirelessly to my pc?**
A: It does come with a wireless adapter.
Furthermore, after the firmware update, you can also connect it to your PC through Bluetooth if your PC has it too (not requiring the dongle that way).

**Q: Is this controller compatible with Windows computer?**
A: Yes. It's compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

**Q: Does the comes with the same preorder bonus of Portal 2 or Rocket League?**
A: Did preorder but for some reason Amazon shipped until yesterday 11/15th  and I got Portal2 code, but I already owned that game, I wanted Rocked League :(

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***S on March 15, 2017*

*Esta reseña fue escrita el mismo dia de la entrega, contiene primeras impresiones y opiniones preliminares, espero actualizarla en un par de meses con los puntos finales. "El Steam controller no es para todo mundo" por mas cliché que suene esa frase tiene mucha verdad, el mando viene con un par de baterías AA y un extensor de rango bastante practico. lo primero que notas es el peso del control, sin las baterías es notablemente mas liviano que un control de xbox 360. Siendo el primer dia no tengo mucha practica con el control pero si es importante mencionar que lleva tiempo adaptarse, yo tengo muchos años usando mi viejo control de xbox 360 (ya ni la consola tengo) y cambiar al steam controller es cuestión de practica, hoy solo use mass effect 2 y dark souls dos juegos sin soporte oficial pero la comunidad de steam tiene varios perfiles que puedes seleccionar para ahorrarte la configuración (tengo pensado hacer la mía ya les contare como fue). Opinión preliminar: si su control favorito se descompuso y/o quieren probar algo distinto lo recomiendo bastante, si no tienen paciencia para entrar en configuraciones mejor no gasten su dinero. Nota adicional: no se confíen en la fecha de entrega de amazon, a mi me llego dos días antes de lo anunciado, si quieren saber la fecha exacta copien el código de seguimiento del transportista y búsquenlo en su pagina directamente ellos son mucho mas exactos (por obvias razones) *Actualización: después de dos meses de uso puedo decir que estoy muy feliz con la compra, en control es muy responsivo, y lo mejor del caso es que todos los problemas de compatibilidad que puedas tener se pueden ajustar en un par de minutos, una cosa que no te mencionan es que el control también funciona como mouse y teclado afuera de los juegos, eso es muy practico ya que los comandos en ambos casos son muy intuitivos (nota técnica: si bien el control funciona como muse básico por si solo necesita steam corriendo de fondo para el teclado y la función de rueda del mouse). En cuanto a la configuración de control les recomiendo basarse en la mas recomendada de la comunidad y ajustarla a sus necesidades (cosas que rara vez tendrán que hacer) un cambio que recomiendo es la cámara traten de elegir joistic/mouse con tanta sensibilidad como estén augusto, con un poco de practica imita bastante bien la sensibilidad del mouse en los FPS
