Report: Valve’s Steam Controller’s Final Design to Be Unveiled at GDC

Posted on January 8, 2015

Reports are surfacing that Valve’s Steam controller now has a finalized design and will be revealed to the public very soon.

GameSpot was told by Origin PC CEO Kevin Wasielewski that Valve will reveal the final version of the Steam controller in March at the Game Developers Conference.

“At GDC, they’re going to have more information,” Wasielewski said. “And we’ll be there. That’s the official stuff we can say. They came out with the controller, then they got some user feedback, and they had to revamp it; they got some more user feedback and had to revamp it again. So they went through that like three or four times. And now their controller is finalized. So now they’re going to production and at GDC is when they’re going to announce more stuff.”

Valve revealed the controller’s first design back in 2013. Unlike other console controllers, the Steam controller uses track pads instead of analog sticks. Just what the controller looks like now remains to be seen.
