JimmyJRaynor Canada17478 Posts November 11 2015 14:37 GMT #43 a negative review of the controller by IGN... with lots of reasons why it is bad. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/11/10/steam-controller-review? hub page&utm_content=4

Ritha United States29 Posts December 31 2015 10:00 GMT #46 I played around with my friends Steam Controller for a few hours, using his Steam Link and giant TV. It will never, ever be close to as good as a mouse and keyboard for: RTS, FPS, 3rd person action/shooter, MMOs. It isn't any better for platformers and RPGs than a traditional controller. But it does let you play point and click games from the couch. And that, for me, is worth the price tag. I love my oldschool point and clicks, and being able to play them from the couch is amazing. It also lets you type surprisingly well, so it is fine for internet browsing through your steam box.

It takes some time, you'lll spend the first few days having to remember to keep your right thumb on the track pad but 50 hours into Fallout 4 with this thing and I'm happy with my purchase. It isn't the game changer Valve's marketing was selling, but it is a unique piece of hardware that can be fun to use if you aren't married to the Xbox or PS4 controllers. for me personally it fills the role of playing games that I own that Mouse and keyboard are simply uncomfortable to play on. I think the only game I don't play with it now is heroes of the storm.

JimmyJRaynor Canada17478 Posts December 31 2015 16:10 GMT #49 i usually just hit the "X" button at the config screen and then use one of the 3 most popular community made configurations for whatever game i'm playing. 1 of the top 3 usually turns out to be really good for me. this lowers my set up time for every part of the controller except the right side trak-pad. Creating your own personal set up for the right trak-pad so that it can give you something very close to a mouse experience requires more than 1 hour of experimentation and research. This depends on how long your thumb is and how big your hands are ; therefore, its slightly different from every person. if you are unwilling to put in the time to make the trak-pad almost as good as a mouse then i recommend avoiding the Steam Controller. It is time consuming. if you are willing to put in the time the right trak-pad becomes the closest thing to replacing a mouse on the market. However, a mouse is still slightly better even with the best set up i've found so far.
