Along with a new VR headset and a new Steam Machine, Valve has just announced a brand new version of the Steam Controller. That's right, a successor to one of the weirdest gamepads ever made is officially launching, and if you were expecting Valve to cool it with the quirky designs, you're going to be disappointed. This PC controller might look amorphous and a bit weird, but as someone who reviews these gaming peripherals, I'm very intrigued.
The new version of the Steam Controller isn't quite as bizarre as the one that launched back in 2015, but it does keep a few of its signature quirks. For starters, it has two trackpads like the ones you'd find on the brand's Steam Deck (or a laptop), but most players will be glad to know that this iteration of the Steam Controller doesn't leave out the thumbsticks.
