    People that require a controller for their living room pc are the target market. Or those that want to prioritize inputs over anything else.

    Otherwise, there are many cheaper alternatives. There are also many more premium controller out their.

    Scarcity may have saved you from holding a awkward symmetrical sticks controller with two giant trackpads that need SteamInput to be useful.

        My wife uses her Steam Controller for playing games on the sofa via Steam Link on our Apple TV. It’s perfect for it.

        I’ve been playing tons of games with this on my couch, currently playing RE9, and I love it. Trackpad + gyro is an amazing combo for aiming with a controller. I’ve been wanting this exact controller for years since I got my Steam Deck andit was worth it, especially for couch play.

          Resolution and on screen keyboard scaling work very poorly is the main culprit. It’s highly inconsistent as well as the deck just not having enough GPU for 1080 screens. I’ve given up using it for gaming on the TV.
