One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons

DIY "Steam Controller 2" made out of two halves of a Steam Deck.

The Steam Controller is dead, long live the Steam Controller. Though its influence is still felt today through the Steam Deck's design and Valve's excellent gamepad support, a true successor to the owl-faced pad ain't walking through that door anytime soon. Cue YouTuber TommyB and his DIY "Steam Controller 2" for all your dual touchpad needs.

It's pretty simple: Squash the Steam Deck's controls into a pad, with the screen replaced with variously shaped, 3D printed connectors. You can also split it in half just like the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. And thankfully, no Steam Decks were harmed in the making of this controller.
