I'm just curious about others opinions because I've seen a few people post recently that they were getting steam controllers...
I happened to pop into a Gamestop about a month ago needing a replacement controller for the 360 one that died, and they had a steam controller on sale for $25, so I grabbed it.
The one thing I disliked most about it is the lack of a second stick. I have a lot of twin stick shooters and other games that use both sticks on steam. The 2nd d-pad surface was kind of cool, all smooth and easy to press, but it's in a weird position on the upper part of the controller and just doesn't feel right for my twin stick games. On other games it's a pretty decent controller and seemed to work fairly well.
But the XBox 360 controller is made by Microsoft, so it works automatically with Windows, no installation or drivers needed (I've used it on Win 7 and Win 10). The regular price is $20 at the local walmart for Rock Candy 360 controllers. It works elsewhere from Steam. And most importantly, it has 2 sticks, and all the buttons seem to be a natural fit to my hands and fingers, and are well positioned. The only advantage the Steam controller has is it's wireless, whereas the Rock Candy isn't. Not a big deal for me, I could find a 360 wireless controller, but I don't really need or want one.
So, does anyone with Steam controllers like them better? Mind sharing your thoughts on 360 vs Steam controllers?
