I won't be getting this, but even though I have well over 50 gamepads for different systems and any adapters needed to use them on pc, I will totally get two steam controller 2 when they are out. If they are good enough I'll probably offload most of my collection. The ability to set a shitload of extra mapped inputs on a grid or wheel is so great for games with too many inputs for the typical console layout
Steam home console now makes more sense than ever given that the current console generation is sort of ass. A box with gigantic library of games from day 1, supporting all modern TV features, new titles all the time guaranteed, flexibility, not being locked down to just one ecosystem… And if it’s comparable to PS5/Xbox it can get a lot of traction, just like Steam Deck.
