Features:
- 4 Custom Buttons to assign Functions
- Full Gyro Support (only when “Steam Mode” is activated)
- A customization feature to only activate Gyro when a specific joystick is touched
- Continuous button pressing or “Rapid Fire” mode for face buttons
- Supports both Bluetooth and Wired connections
- A dedicated Steam button to start big picture mode or bring Steam up
- A Quick Access Menu button
However it doesn’t have:
- vibration function
- trackpad
- Headphone jack
It will cost around $50
50?
So they left out vibration so it wouldn’t be the usual 60?
Those savings don’t take the price down to “will buy” they take the featureset down to “will never buy”.
Honest question, is vibration that important of a feature in your opinion? I don’t think I notice it all too much whether it’s there or not, so I don’t really have much of a preference and wouldn’t consider this a deal breaker. I didn’t realize people felt strongly about it. Is it an immersion thing?
Immersion, yes, but also haptics provide feedback.
Lots of games use it to tell you things, like when your health is low, when to time something, when you took damage vs blocked successfully, when you’re close to a secret…
Used right, it’s another sensory input channel in addition to sound and visuals.
One of the biggest genres that I use a controller for, because I consider KBM to be unplayable for it, is racing games. And there haptics are used to tell you TONS about what is happening in the game.
Yes very important. I miss it when it isn’t there.
