I imagine they'll sell them as a bundle and separately.

I like this one better than the last, but it still looks too bulky to be comfortable.

I'd have to see it in someone's hands tbh :3

It doesn't look too bad tho imo

It looks like they basically just slapped the Deck controls into a smaller form factor.

That can't not work.

Plus the four rear buttons are capacitive (like the joysticks), so they can be used to toggle gyro controls.

EDIT: Actually, is it the grips themselves that are capacitive, not the buttons? I am confused about how this will work.

That’s what people said about the original Xbox controller, but that thing was very comfortable.

Also, the Steam Deck itself looks huge and bulky at first glance, but it feels wonderful to hold and use.
