How do you think this will compare with the previous version?
are there any controllers besides the old steam controller and maybe the Xbox elite controller that support steam input for extra buttons?
ive been looking for over a year for any affordable controller where I can just map play/pause media and prev/next track to the extra back buttons and ive found nothing
