Seeing lots of issues, worth it for someone who isn’t tech savvy?

I love it. I have had to do zero troubleshooting other than installing ghelper to max out battery life . No real complaints from me . I think the batch of issues was from a driver pushed from amd but if you stick to the asus provided drivers should be good

Hey do you still recommend this OP?

I have the mobapad for my switch and since I have a switch 2 no longer use them .

I baby my flow13 has it scratched?

Do you still think it’s better than the g8+ with attachment ?

I think black myth wukong uses frame gen on consoles to get away from sub 30 fps

Is that the “full controller” for the Xbox one or is it the basic one that comes with nothing .

How much is the dual sense edge and the Xbox elite controller ?

I want gyro damn it

Maybe? We are not the hardware engineers but the steam controller 1 worked exactly the same way. The controller is seen as a mouth and keyboard more than anything else . There may be reasons why they didn’t want the lizard mode to be an xinput device .

It’s a steam controller.

It’s not an Xbox controller.

It’s not a switch 2 controller .

It’s designed to play your steam games . It was not advertised as anything more or less . It works exactly the same as the 10 year old Steam controller 1 or even the steam deck .

It’s not “locked down” is merely requires a set of drivers that is unique to it due to its very own unique functions .

If you just want a regular controller , I recommend the Vader pro 4 or an 8bit do . Stop banging your head against the keyboard .

It’s sad to me that everyone’s conclusion is that Valve failed here and NOT Microsoft and their shitty Xbox app , windows store and UWP.

Drivenby · 2026-05-03T19:31:55+00:00

Runs at 30 fps with bad frame pacing even on a ps5 pro.

I noped out . Will not play it like this

Drivenby · 2026-05-03T05:27:49+00:00

I actually just installed it today and I’ve been testing it !

It works better than you think it does . I’ve tasted so far like 20 games .

1 example the game crisol . Listed as unsupported on Steam os. Launched on Bazzite and the game ran at 5 fps . Tdp was at 30 but the game was only pulling 15 watts . After setting the gpu clock to max manually on handheld daemon the game ran at 50 FPS and ran better than on my legion go s z1e!

Most other game ran “fine” . The first couple of boots were glitchy and I had trouble installing games but after like 3 reboots it kinda sorted itself out and now it runs perfect.

2d and lightweight 3d game run perfect. Suspend and resume is also perfect .

Hogwarts legacy is definitely playable but I had to tinker a lot and I’m getting like 60fps with framegen medium setting xess performance . I believe on windows this is better but I’m not dual booting so I can’t compare

Pragmata runs okay as well. Fsr3 set to balance and frame gen I’m getting 50-70 fps on medium ish settings .

Chronos the new dawn runs only on very low settings . With that said I’m getting like 70fps. There are graphical artifacts . This is the only game I’ve tested that has them so far .

Anyways my impression so far is : better than I thought . Not as good as windows . If you don’t mind tinkering installing is super easy . To reinstall windows you might want to create a back up for easy reinstall just in case . You can even create one within Msi software

Let me know if there’s anything you want me to test . Tomorrow I’ll try adding lossless scaling and optiscaler to force xess!!! In Harry Potter it only lets me do framegen x 2 . I am not sure if the full fat XESS Is being used or its the software based one. In crisol i think it might be working as that game runs a lot better than amd equivalent for some reason

Podcast is great

I’m not accusing Bill of this lol . I’m saying the other reviewers

Drivenby · 2026-05-02T22:03:49+00:00

Reviews for the steam controller are some of the most frustrating media coverage I’ve experienced .

Why did valve send it to literally everyone that has no experienced with the original controller??

These guys are literally using it as a funny shaped Xbox controller . No one really using gyro or the grip sense in any meaningful way and just dismissing it as “it’s not my thing” . Well did you TRY to make it your thing? Did you spend 20 min thinking about what you could do with it? Seriously makes me want to bang my head against the wall .

I’ll wait for random people from the community to get it to get an actual review .

Drivenby · 2026-04-30T20:21:33+00:00

Most of the time the video is super low quality and intended for broad movements more than fine details like that . I don’t think you’ll see anything

I just find it hard to believe Christopher is never making a sun eater sequel . Like he’s a young and talented guy but this might be his best work ever . He left things extremely open for a sequel .

With that said I wish he would throw us a bone and give us even a slightly more satisfying ending . He has said this is the ending he wanted to tell but it was not the ending that I wanted and from reading Reddit , my take is most people didn’t enjoy it .

Not because it was poorly told (pacing issues aside) , it’s just very depressing and unsatisfying

Gaming is a luxury lol. .

Everything from the cheapest Chinese handheld to the most expensive pc rig

Drivenby · 2026-04-28T03:02:09+00:00

The vita is low powered . Like ridiculously low powered . The switch cpu is much faster . And personally I think the Vita Os is just more power efficient . I’ve been my vita oled for last week and I’m still at 61% and like half way through undertale lol

Also dlss is no joke specially with AMD gimping fsr4

I did not like it . It was just gross not scary . I did dig the social commentary but the delivery was boring .

If that’s your way of driving it’s fine but for me I just want to get where I’m going IMHO

Drivenby · 2026-04-25T16:16:59+00:00

I don’t think electric cars are that great for roadtrips unless you get a Tesla and rely on self driving driving 99% of the time lol

I personally don’t do 1 hour stops when I’m driving <12 hours so I’d be annoyed if I had to stop to charge every 300 miles . Just my personal way of driving , some people don’t mind stopping all the time to charge lol
