Here you\u2019ll find all the details on its design, release and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valve is launching a new Steam Controller in early 2026 that not only offers classic gamepad functions but can also serve as a mouse replacement for PC games thanks to modern technologies. We\u2019ve gathered all essential information about the new input device for you \u2013 from the design and controls to its compatibility with different systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-79731bf0-818d-40f7-8f00-4dc3da223a54 advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><strong>Update Log:<\/strong> <a href=\"#release\">Release Window Delayed<\/a> (02\/18\/2026)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"release\">New Steam Controller: Release Window and Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-6bac95ca-4fd2-4901-9d4a-b2531e8b8baa advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><em><strong>Update as of 02\/18\/2026:<\/strong> In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/group\/45479024\/view\/625565405086220583?l\">blog post<\/a>, Valve announced that it will no longer meet the originally planned Spring 2026 release window and is now targeting the <strong>first half of 2026 <\/strong>instead. The reason cited is ongoing global shortages of memory components. As a result, the device\u2019s price could also increase.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Steam Controller will launch alongside the upcoming Steam Machine in early 2026. An exact release date has not been announced yet. Pricing also remains open for now, but early estimates suggest a range between 80 and 100 euros based on the included technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-and-input-options\">Design and Input Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The design of the new Steam Controller closely follows the Steam Deck, just without a display. It is a fully equipped gamepad with numerous modern input options. This makes it suitable not only for classic console-style games but also for PC titles that are typically played with mouse and keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trackpads-with-haptic-feedback\">Trackpads with Haptic Feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two large trackpads with a diameter of 34.5 mm are located on the front of the controller. They support haptic feedback and different pressure levels. Mouse movements can be simulated precisely this way \u2013 ideal for genres like real-time strategy or first-person shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tmr-sticks-instead-of-hall-effect\">TMR Sticks Instead of Hall Effect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The analog sticks use Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology. This system determines positions with magnetic fields and is designed to be especially durable, precise and energy efficient. Compared to classic Hall effect sticks, TMR sticks are also less prone to stick drift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Two sketches of controllers and their button assignments.\" class=\"wp-image-68855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steam-Controller-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With the Steam Controller, you can quickly and easily access your library. \u00a9 Valve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the trackpads and sticks, the Steam Controller features the usual A\/B\/X\/Y buttons, a D-pad, two analog triggers, two bumpers and dedicated buttons for Steam, Menu and the Quick Access Menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gyroscope-and-grip-sense\">Gyroscope and Grip Sense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A built-in 6-axis gyroscope enables motion controls, for example to aim more precisely in shooters. New to the controller is the Grip Sense function: Touching certain areas on the back of the controller or the sticks automatically activates the gyroscope. This feature can be freely assigned like a regular button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-macro-buttons\">Additional Macro Buttons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the back are four freely assignable grip buttons that can be easily reached with your fingers. They allow complex control setups without having to take your thumbs off the sticks or trackpads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haptic-feedback-and-vibration-motors\">Haptic Feedback and Vibration Motors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The controller features a total of four vibration motors \u2013 two in the trackpads and two in the grips. These provide responsive and nuanced haptic feedback during gameplay. In combination with the trackpads, this creates a precise and immersive control experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-965ae519-41de-4879-bf7d-a2a947c187cc advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games-en\/steam-deck-games-the-best-blockbusters\/\">Steam Deck Games: The Best Blockbusters for the Handheld<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-compatibility-with-pc-vr-and-mobile-devices\">Compatibility with PC, VR and Mobile Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Valve, the new Steam Controller is compatible with a wide range of devices, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows, macOS and Linux PCs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smartphones with Android or iOS (via Steam Link)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handhelds like the Steam Deck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new Steam Machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new Steam Frame VR headset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the controller suitable not only for classic PC gaming but also for mobile and VR applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe title=\"Steam Hardware Announcement\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OmKrKTwtukE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connectivity-and-battery-life\">Connectivity and Battery Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Steam Controller offers three connection methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Steam Controller Puck<\/strong>: A special USB dongle with its own low-latency wireless connection (~8 ms).
