  • I mean, no phone controller has the same layout as the steam controller.

    100% exactly the same layout is impossible, when there has to be room for the phone cradle in the middle. If you want to clip the phone above the Steam Controller, just get one of those plastic holders where you can attach the regular Steam Controller at the bottom side.

    If Valve could implement the software to support steaminput when streaming games to a phone from your PC or a cloud PC, that’d be kinda cool.

    Steam Link already exists and Steam Input runs on the PC.

    a controller with feature parity with the Steam Controller would be an innovation.

    The phone’s touch screen already provides the touch pad functionality when using one of the controllers pictured above.












  • The only time you might “tinker” with gaming is when you want to install, say, an emulator or Heroic from the Discovery store (flatpak) to play your non-Steam games, all of which is optional.

    Playing games from outside Steam is less tinkering in Bazzite than SteamOS because Bazzite supports those out of the box. I don’t have a Bazzite install in front of me right now but IIRC it comes with Lutris preinstalled. On SteamOS that’s an additional installation step.
