  • You can use an Armor-X Pro attachment to add gyro motion aim and 4 remappable buttons to an Xbox controller. Gamers are liberals and don’t like advancing their techniques and skills. If you’re feeling fancy you can pair a G7 Pro to a Brook Wingman XB3 to get motion controls to a hall effect controller but it’s a bit overkill. Xbox doesn’t officially support these add ons so they might stop working eventually. The closest official thing on Xbox would be a 6 button razer controller but no motion aim so it’s not nearly as big of a change. You can also use the DarkWalker Shotpad, a track pad and keyboard combo controller with gyro to mouse that only works with games that officially support m&k but it’s in the shape of a funky handheld controller.

    I’ve since moved to an original Steam Controller with dual trackpads + gyro and 8-12 remappable buttons (potentially infinite) layered under trackpad clicks (trackpad to virtual d-pad mode switch + maybe an action layer) and trackpad touch activated mode-switches for my ABXY buttons.

    I used a much simpler control scheme in dark souls (click movement trackpad for dodge and click camera trackpad for light attack) and I was shocked at how much easier it was than the original control scheme.

    If you’re on PlayStation definitely try official gyroscopic assisted aiming on HellDivers 2, Call of Duty or some other games with official support. Gamers are resistant to change and it makes them stagnate, my friends are obsessed with running meta builds and I can still pass them a lot of the time because I’m still willing to learn new ways to play.

    Literally a Wii Remote is a better way to aim than dual sticks. I would literally use those new motion controllers from the Steam Frame if they worked.












  • It seems like it’s targeting people that don’t have a PC or since a lot of Steam users already have a powerful PC this would be their secondary PC for the living room or for their partners / families. Since Xbox is trying to charge $30 a month now any way to escape a monthly subscription will be getting more appealing

    Xbox is dying and it looks like this is basically perfect for getting those people into Steam instead (especially considering how good this will look compared to the $1500 Xbox 6)

    The steam deck’s power for me has been less of an issue because low latency streaming from a main PC has gotten incredibly good (and when there’s really well optimized games like BG3). They added HDR to remote play recently and it looks amazing, especially at 90fps.

    Strategy wise it feels like Valve is setting a floor for 3rd parties that will release more powerful Steam Machines (like Steam Deck to Lenovo Legion 2) and potentially trying to cap developer excesses like Borderlands 4 expecting people to have 5080s at the minimum 🤢
