In our full Steam Controller review, we go quite literally hands-on with Valve's renewed attempt at a gamepad for both Steam Machines and conventional PCs.

The price of Valve's new Steam Controller has reportedly been leaked thanks to a review that was accidentally posted early that broke the embargo dates.

At my desk, with the PC buzzing beside me, my games are one of my few comforts. They are rarely comfortable. My desk is a cell where I must hunch over a mouse and keyboard. Valve’s $100 Steam Controller changed how I game on PC by letting me play my favorite RTS and CRPGs while reclining in my best impression of a Roman-era hedonist.

The new Steam Controller feels great in my hands. The device weighs in at 292 grams, which is slightly heavier than PS5’s DualSense and the Xbox Wireless controller. The way weight is displaced by the Steam Controller’s design makes this very hard to notice during my play sessions.

Xbox has been through a lot of changes in the last few months, but will those changes finally lead to the release of the long-awaited new Xbox controller?
