You can buy the Steam Controller long before the official Steam Machine arrives – so why not build your own?

Valve has announced the release date for one of its new pieces of hardware, the Steam Controller, and it's just around the corner.

A new update doubles down on prior rumors that the Steam Controller is finally about to release. But the Steam Machine may not come with it.

The upcoming handheld is still in development, with no clear release window as Valve focuses on other hardware.
