WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

they wanted to make a controller

"we want to make a controller"

>doesn't replace gamepads
>is barely functional when emulating KB+M

Why did I fall for this meme

It's alright.

Probably too expensive though.

Only works for a handful of games, but it is nice for those very specific games.

making a decent controller that you can use when playing mouse + keyboard games or browsing the internet on your tv while you're lying down on a couch.

i think they did a pretty good job. more comfortable than using a mouse and keyboard when i connect my pc to my tv.

"Lets make this unnecessarily complex to use"

ITT: people who don't own a steam controller. I own one and its goddamn excellent. And gyro controls make FPS's more fun than KB+M. It only falls short when games don't support simultaneous gamepad and mouse controls, like every fucking bethesda game for some reason.

I fell for the meme, I don't really regret it.
For the games I wanted it to work it works flawlessly, you just gotta take your time setting it up.
Gonna test it out with emulators later and see how it goes.

Literally all I use it for is browsing stuff in bed

Best controller I've ever used tbqh senpai. It's the little enhancements I can make for myself that I really enjoy about it. This is what I've done recently
>Control the point and clickey Oregon Trail segments of Pyre with my trackpad while I use my normal controller for The Rites
>Dpad up and Dpad down on my backpaddles so I can navigate the command menu in kingdom hearts without taking my hands off of anything
>Mouse+Gyro controls in Rez:Infinite
>Gyro aiming in Nier Automata so I can aim the pod without taking my hands off of any buttons
>Proper driving and proper aiming in GTA style games (analog triggers and analog turning, trackpad+gyro is better aiming than mouse)
I also made a wavedash button while I was fucking around in Dolphin which was fun.

I have one and while I like the way it feels in my hands I struggle to find a reason to use it over my 360 controller or logitech cheap pos. There's a lot of good ideas here, but they just don't come together into a usable piece of hardware.

-Left trackpad doesn't function as a dpad. It simply doesn't work for this.
-Shoulder buttons require too much force to press down.
-Back shoulder buttons are an on-off switch, despite the "dual stage" triggers rhetoric.
-Face buttons are too small.
-"Start/Select" type buttons awkwardly placed.
-The whole thing is just too large. It's bigger than the 360 controller, comparable in size to the terrible Dreamcast controller.
-If you thought you could use the right trackpad for FPS, think again. It is much too imprecise for that. You're better off using the gyro.

My best experiences with the controller were, frankly, playing turn based games that didn't require precise control at all.
