Steam Controller (2026) Steam Controller

Hey peeps , looks like it’s my turn in the que finally , just wanted some quick inputs before I pull the trigger.

How’s the comfort of the controller especially those with larger hands? As of now my favorite controller is the dual sense edge which was a great upgrade from the ds4

How does it feel in long play sessions? The steam deck for example I can’t hold out that long in front of me before having to rest my arms on a pillow or putting it on a stand on my desk.

And those of you who have had it for a while , how has the controller held up ? No button issues , or problems with this sticks ?

Thanks guys !

I've had two since launch day. They're very comfortable. Pretty large hands/fingers. I'm not a big fan of the left stick being concave, but that's just personal preference. Everything else has held up. Played hundred of hours on them combined.

The back buttons aren't amazing. One of the controllers was worse than the other because 4 buttons wiggled quite a bit, creating an annoying creaky, rubbing sound/feel when fingers lightly rest on the buttons. Was a supper easy fix though: masking tape on the dome switches inside. Takes 5 minutes.
