    I’m thinking about the people like me who have a Steam account, want this controller, but would also love to use it at our friends’ places where there’s just a Switch 2 or a PS5.

    For compatibility, I’m better off using 3rd party controllers.

      Yeah, but buy a Switch 2 Pro Controller and try to use it on the PS5.

      Vendor lock in is bad, don’t get me wrong but, without Steam, PS controllers have always been a pain to get going on PC. I would prefer they push native level OS controllers, even if it’s just a ‘lizard mode’ but I’m sure the track pads make it more complicated.

        You recognize vendor lock is bad, and that’s why they’re complaining, you guys are arguing about nothing

        I hope that Steam will enable cross platform compatibility for their controller. I don’t need the trackpads to work on my friend’s switch. Just a 1 to 1 mapping of the buttons from a switch pro controller is good enough.
