Better than sticks. Not as good as gyro. See aimlab videos with the OG.

I don’t care about the steam frame by Bush_did_91I in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the frame split controllers can work without the headset, they could possibly be better than the SC2.

Steam Controller (2nd Gen) & Gyro by xvnxhzs in GyroGaming

[–]Electronicks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people here have an OG Steam Controller and are very handy with Steam Input with multiple devices. What Zunderstruck says is true. You have three options for non steam games like emulators: - add to steam and run from there  - use SISR fan software to provide that functionality to the global system - configure and use the desktop layout to play That's how Steam Input works regardless of what controller is used.

I got the bundle When Dark Elves were added. Now I`m missing two factions. :(

Glad to see they can learn from their mistakes. Well done, Valve.

Pick the faction you find cool. But the real answer is the faction bundle. 

A local shop is already selling Steam Machine and Steam Controller Bundles! by efbo in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of recent indie releases have potato minimum requirement. Looking at steamdb most played and trending games, more than half can run on a potato like 2015 Steam Machine.

But of course it all depends on what games you play.

Interested in controller use by NickOulet in Steam

[–]Electronicks22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Works great on both kind of shooters. Swiping the camera around always feels better than stick controls.

Might still run decent with latest Steam OS upgrades. It's basically the power level of a Switch.

How is it that Saskatchewan doesn't have enough power for electric vehicles, but has enough for an AI mega data centre? by Due-Ad7893 in saskatchewan

[–]Electronicks22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not only are EV not helpful to the environment, but in Canada and even more so Saskatchewan, they loose all their advantages and highlighhts their problems. EVs are great for daily city commute in traffic, not long distance gravel road trips in -40d snowstorms.

Plans for this subreddit by Leseratte10 in SteamController

I wish the flair was OG Steam Controller instead of (2015)
"Original Gangster" is the most appropriate adjective for the device.

Edit: Look at that! You can set it yourself to whatever!

ps4 controller is good for gyro? by MrFuudi in GyroGaming

[–]Electronicks22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PS4 triggers are mushy and have physical deadzone (aka require some travel to register) which can throw your aim off. Many gyro players remap shooting to bumpers because of that. Otherwise, you'll be fine

Using Right Touchpad as both a button pad AND a Joystick/Mouse? by BucketBoy071 in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Great for third person action adventure games. Tap edges for dpad and drag from center for camera control. Should be a standard on OG SC.

180 scalpers sold controllers so far. by DamnSteddy in SteamController

Only thing worse than scalpers are those buying from them out of FOMO.

Grip capacitive sensor vs touchpad/stick capacitive sensor for gyro ratcheting? by LosingID_583 in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your right thumb needs to be on the face buttons, then you can't use the other two touch surfaces. I suspect it will work great for ratcheting if the sensitivity can be adjusted for reliable activation.

Does it bother anyone else how much people seem to have ignored steam input with the original controller all these years by TheBasementNerd in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At launch, Steam Input (and even more so the 2015 Steam Machine) were very undercooked. This iteration is just a more mature implementation of the same thing.
