    Looks quite small and compact, not in a good way. Trackpad is very interesting, I'd give one a go in my Dualshock 3 died

    Will this be turning into the standard for PC controllers then? Wouldn't mind that tbh

    That price is a fair bit of a turn-off for me. I'll stick with the wired X360 controller for a while longer.

    I may wait and see reviews. But I see they're keeping with the 360 controller buttons ABXY, start, select and colours) so devs won't be changing to match it.

    The steam link is up for pre order as well, I ordered both from steam but got stung for €26.98 in deliver charges for the 2, looks like game stop will have it early as well so will cancel and go with them.

    Anyone know if the steam controller connects to the steam link and not the PC, it say the range of the controller is 5 meters from pc. That's a problem if it connects via the pc and not directly to the link.

    I would really hope it can do both, otherwise it's not particularly useful.

    Just read up on the steam link thing as well, looks very interesting. I wonder how well everything would knit together...would there be any lag etc?

    They're the same price in GameStop as on the Steam store though, so it doesn't really make sense to order (unless you have loads of steam funds, I suppose)

    It's €5 to pre order on GameStop either, or €10 for the both. Pick up in store the 16th. Not on normal release until November.

    Just plug it in and it works (Windows might download some drivers). Not sure about the wireless version though.

    Ordered the Steam controller too, will be interesting to see how it plays.

    Nah, just plug the USB cable into the PC and it should work immediately. Windows Update might have to download a driver first, but that's it.

    Looks cool how fast they typed with it!

    I wasn't goping to pick them up on steam because it only appeared that i could order one at a time so i'd have to pay 13.30 shipping twice for two controllers.
    Gamestop looks good, steam has the advantage that i could sell in game items and pay for a controller but meh after the shipping.

    That's only because it's international, the US aren't paying that.

    Yeah, I got two on there now whereas I had resigned to not get them. :)
    I doubt steam mind that we got them from there, it's mostly going to them anyway heh.
