Steam Controller shows signs of life, as leaker suggests that Valve has received its "first large quantity" shipments (www.pcguide.com)

Leaker here is Brad Lynch, who generally seems reliable as a leaker for Valve software and products. He was also the source for the leaked renders of the steam controller.

Same. I desperately hope they release a version with the regular thumbstick layout instead of the PlayStation layout that's on the Deck.

"Regular" thumbstick layout? PlayStation's was first.

EDIT: I see you edited your comment to remove "regular". Thank you! I've always been able to use either kind just fine, but I do prefer symmetrical, probably because I play a lot of 2D games and actually use the d-pad.

This controller was peak design. I was using a DS3 as my go to pc controller for years before the sticks died.

I keep rebuilding the same DS4 controller as it's ideal as a PC controller, both wired and Bluetooth protocol. But it keeps breaking or wearing down on me and parts keep going up in price and the dang thing is getting beat up. I looked into the 8-bitdo controllers but I didn't care for the only one they had with the DS layout, their retro one.

I'll heavily consider the Steam Controller 2 if the price and quality is right.
