Steam Controller, Valve’s next-gen gamepad, is slated to launch on May 4th for $100, although you shouldn’t expect to see a big ‘buy’ button next to Steam Frame or Steam Machine. Speaking to Polygon,

Valve's second attempt at the Steam Controller is a major improvement over the first, though it comes with a few quirks.

Valve will release the redesigned Steam Controller on May 4 for $99, featuring dual trackpads, gyro aiming, TMR thumbsticks, and grip sensors. Reviews highlight improved tactile feedback, customizable controls, and strong compatibility with all Steam games.

With its brilliant dual touchpads and easy integration with Steam and Steam Decks, this is a great do-it-all gamepad for HTPCs and reclined gaming.

Valve's new Steam Controller has a firm release date. The Steam operator also clarifies why the gamepad is coming before the hardware.
