The Steam Fall Promotion has begun, and copies of Resident Evil 2 are available for just $20, including a special deal to bid farewell to Valve's amazing and excellent Steam Controller gamepad for $5.

Yes, you can get a steam controller for only $5 plus shipping ($13 total for me). Valve confirmed that this is the last batch of such game controllers.

While I can't recommend it as wholeheartedly as Valve did when it terminated its amazing Steam Link wireless HDMI plug-in, I'd say $13 is a really good price if you plug your PC into your TV, or the Steam Link app for wirelessly connecting PC games to your phone requires an exact solution.

This is because the controller was first introduced in a steam engine project where the valve failed in 2013. Read our feature design--it's one of the most fully customizable game pads in history, and probably the only one that offers precision game pads like a mouse. This is because it uses a pair of touch pads and is equipped with miniature solenoid actuators to provide tactile feedback, so you can simulate a mouse or trackball. In addition, there are blades on the back that can squat, jump and paddle. You can say their names without taking your thumb off the touchpad.

But this is just the beginning.

Steam Controller is a customizable cult classic.

Thanks to Valve's powerful configuration software, Steam Controllers have gained widespread attention, with thousands of gamers uploading their customized configurations to the entire game library on Steam. At the beginning of the game, it is not uncommon to find dozens of fancy profiles, which make the game's features at your fingertips and add new control modes. A common modifier is to press and hold a button to switch the entire gamepad to gyro aiming mode, which not only prepares a character's weapon but also reduces aiming sensitivity while allowing you to make a small amount of physical movement of the controller to use its built-in gyro.

Steam controllers have some growing pains. Remembering the perfect configuration of Metal Gear Solid V just found the game getting more and more confusing, whether using a mouse, keyboard or Xbox gamepad. Eventually I stopped playing completely because most games were more comfortable with traditional game pads. Also, when Valve starts letting you remap any game pad the same way without Xbox native support, there's no reason to pop out of third-party controllers like Steam Controller, PlayStation, Switch or even 8BitDo.

However, I never cease to marvel that the Steam Controller is a pure gadget filled with wired and two forms of wireless connectivity, a touch panel that can play chip tunes, a pair of long-lived AA batteries, and a carefully designed joystick to eject those batteries.

When Valve brought the Steam Link app to smartphones last year, Steam Controller did have some new leases that allowed you to transfer games from PC to phone and add Bluetooth to Steam Controller via firmware updates, making it a game board with those titles. However, it cannot be used as a controller for regular Android or iOS games. You'll need a phone holder or 3D printed attachment to attach the gamepad to your phone. I prefer my double shock 4. It can also be paired natively with two mobile operating systems, and its touchpad can be doubled like a mouse.

If you've never sold along these lines before, I don't know if I'd actually advise you to buy a steam controller. (The $8 fee seems a bit expensive. However, as part of the history of the game, I have always kept my heart and soul. In case I lose my USB dongle, I kind of want to buy another one.
