    I mean why would most people want it over a “normal” controller you can get for half the price and works with more than just steam games?

      I mean you’ll be able to play anything on your pc with it, doesn’t have to be from Steam.

      The price thing tho, yeah it’s pricy. I guess it comes down to how much you want touchpads.

        Like the OG steam controller you have to use steam to launch for it to work like a normal controller.

        According to the GN video the joysticks don’t work as a normal xinput device unless you have steam open the game to translate it. You’re locked into using steam with the controller. This is my biggest qualm with the OG steam controller. (well besides me hating the touch pad)

            I’ve never heard of any QC issues unique to TMR. Sure the Guilikit doesn’t have the best QC, but none of their controllers really do, and it’s a $30 controller. You can get 3 of them and it’s still less than the steam controller. The gamesir is about $30 cheaper and is actually decent quality.
