Some version of this may be the third announcement. A trackball gamepad makes a lot of sense to me for a Steam in the living room system. |

Final update on the new Steam Controller.
Uses trackpads instead of joysticks, custom touch screen in the middle that can be whatever, hackable, and works with games that don't even work with controllers.
So... wow.
Trackpads instead of analog sticks actually makes sense for FPSes. I think Valve may be onto something with that.
Not just FPSes, but other genres that aren't too common on the big screen, RTS games and stuff could become a lot more doable. Anything that benefits from the extra precision. |
