Steam Controller?

well i saw it and was thinking of buying it but saw IGNs negative review, has anyone got this controller, should i buy it? and does it work with beamng?

 

You know, the Steam Controller has a lot of bugs still and is still WIP (at least that's what they said in the c't), so... I think you are better of waiting a quarter.

 

ok thanks

 

You're welcome. Either wait some time, or buy an Xbox 360 controller for $30 on Amazon.

 

ive got a ps3 controller emulated to an xbox 360 controller, was going to get the steam controller as i have quite a few keyboard games on steam (cities skylines, plague inc and a few more)

 

Yeah, but the problem with those things really is how buggy and expensive they are. I'm interested in hiw well your ps3 controller works though. How's the gameplay with it?

 

works flawlessly with beamng, and practically any controller game, it just sees it as an xbox controller (using SCP drivers) it even works wirelessly (using blutooth) you eventually remember which buttons do which xbox controls

 

Very nice.

 

You are better off with an Xbox 360 controller for beamNG

 

can you use the gyro for steering?

 

No, I don't think SCP passes that through

 

Crap guess i won't buy it then, because i hate the twitchiness of the xbox controller, or is the steam controller less twitchy?, because i would like to see it a bit smoother (and i tried alot to do so) maybe you could help?

 

SCP is for PS3 controllers nothing to do with steam controllers

 

then i misunderstood :$ so the gyro from the ps3 controller is worthless, but what about the steam controllers gyro?

 

Couldnt tell you, its news to me that the steam controller had a gyro, by which I dont mean to claim it doesnt, i just dont know much about the steam controller and frankly have zero interest in what looks like a rather unpleasant device to use.

 

i think it looks hideous but i hate the standard twitch of the controller (now i even taped my phone to a steering wheel but thanks for the info
