New leaks reveal Valve Steam Controller 2 and new Index VR controllers
Valve leaks reveal Steam Controller 2, VR controllers for headsets.
Recent leaks indicate Valve is working on a new Steam Controller and VR controllers, potentially starting mass production next year. Evidence shared by Brad Lynch from EOZ VR XR shows these products are well into development and could be a transformative step in Valve's hardware lineup.
The Steam Controller 2, called 'Ibex,' incorporates previous Steam Deck design features, adding traditional gamepad elements like a directional pad and analog sticks. This new controller aims to address the original's limitations while enhancing user experience in line with current gaming trends.
The VR controllers, under the codename 'Roy,' are designed to be smaller and more feature-packed than existing Valve Index controllers. These designs include a comprehensive set of buttons and sticks, aligning with modern gaming standards and hinting at Valve's continuing innovation in VR technology.
