[–] tea@lemmy.today 58 points 2 years ago (7 children) My money is on Steam Controller 2, but what do I know. permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (4 children) Controller with 5ghz wifi? Hmm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] tea@lemmy.today 6 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yeah, wouldn't need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] cron@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Fancy controller with embedded screen and CPU? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Garper@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago Don't be crazy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago Standalone VR! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago Integrated Steam Link? permalink fedilink source parent [–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) The steam controller 1 already has wifi, its not the only controller that does this, the nvidia shield controller also does. The standard these and a very few other controllers use is called wifi direct, and basically uses an adhoc network to connect. This is seamless for the user. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Sure. Isn't that 2.4ghz though? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I think it's unlikely that it's a controller, but the days of 2.4ghz only are long gone. Sure you can still cheap out on it, but it's not that expensive anymore. I could see a controller using a chipset that had it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 point 2 years ago That's would be really neat for those of us with lots of wireless interference in the 2.4 GHz band. I can't even really use Bluetooth controllers for that reason. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ashok36@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Valve could be trying their own version of stadia / Luna. Doubtful though. Probably a vr device. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CluckN@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago That would be a nice accessory for the Steamdeck permalink fedilink source parent [+] bug@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago yeah the timing is right. I sorta figure they are planning on a sorta back and forth cadence between vr and handheld. permalink fedilink source parent [–] radau@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago I sure hope so, I love my steam controller but it really could benefit from dual thumbsticks permalink fedilink source parent [–] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I hope that's the one. I had to connect the Steam Controller to my Deck though the Dock to play something on big screen and my fingers were fumbling for the difference in button layout and number. A Steam Controller 2 with the same layout as the Deck would be an instant wishlist topper permalink fedilink source parent [–] arefx@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago This is what I want the most. permalink fedilink source parent
