@@@@@@ Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Looks incredibly uncomfortable. its beta, and they'll probably improve it based on community feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I like the trackpad idea, that sounds pretty cool; although i'm sure how it would actually play...But those grips look way to big and oddly shaped to be comfortable.

Pyrocide Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Im not saying it is all bad, there are some features that are cool. Just the initial beta is an awful design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks no bigger then xbox controller. And the nice curve looks comfy And it does have back buttons on the grips so its made with that in mind for proper hand position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christley </3 Peelz Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 im not going over to the steam controller by any means. i cant play f1 on that thing. and id like the buttons to be on one side, not both. because if i need to look around when doing a combo, i cant. ill just stand there. doing my combo, getting raped by a xbox controller because i cant move. no, the trackpads look awesome, but man, they have a long way to go before ill abandon my xbox controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Condition one for the beta: "Launch and play a game using a gamepad in Big Picture mode" You lose Lol, I borrowed my friends gamepad and got that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarium Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Lol, I borrowed my friends gamepad and got that one I went to a box of controllers I had buried somewhere which hasn't been used it 5ish years, took one out, plugged it in, and played some smb to get the lvl 1 badge. Then made a fake beta entry since its 2 and a half badges if I made the badges out of cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4th Harbringer Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm sure the steam controller is actually pretty comfortable, it just probably has to be held in a different way than an XBox controller. I personally like the idea of the bigger grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan T-Rex Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I want steam OS, and sorta want the controller as well. Im considering building an HTPC, and while I do have a wireless 360 controller, every time I die in meat boy/get hit in they bleed pixels, it turns off. I then need to reactivate it, and that gets annoying considering how many times you die in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liddojunior Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Piston is 999$ I was thinking they need it to be at most 700$ for them to be successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocide Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'd rather build my own steambox with that pricetag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan T-Rex Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 steam OS is really perfect htpc material. I can potentially put together a LAN rig for under 435 USD using little bits n bobs I have lying around. I have a 7750 lying around, 8GB of RAM, a 650W PSU... I really just wanna buy a prodigy and shove it all in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liddojunior Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 didnt even know titan and 4770 ran on 450w Steam worked its magic and made it so (but only in their prototype) I personally would upgrade the power supply right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christley </3 Peelz Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Steam worked its magic and made it so (but only in their prototype) I personally would upgrade the power supply right away 450 gold is like 500 or 530 if i remember correctly. but i cant imagine that running stable at that low wattage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 450 gold is like 500 or 530 if i remember correctly. but i cant imagine that running stable at that low wattage I'd assume valve tested it thoroughly.....why would they want to give out faulty test models?

(doesn't really make sense as it would just make their idea look bad). doesnt mean it wont run. like most pre built machines they ship with very low watts, it will run. but at times it can get troublesome. for like the turbo function on titan. id be surpriced if that even worked. its like 100 or 150 watts under recommended for titan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liddojunior Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 And plan for you to upgrade. So they might intent on you personally upgrading but making beta users upgrade a power supply to get the most out of it. So they get feedback on how easy it is to upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they could use a 770 instead of the titan and save like $400 a unit....770 is more than enough to run anything they could need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
