Valve put up their Steam Year In Review 2025 and initially, they made it seem like their hardware plans were a lot more uncertain but they've since clarified.
The first one was alright, but honestly felt cheap. This new one has me very interested, and I’m mildly annoyed that it seems to be getting delayed along with the other new hardware, despite not needing expensive RAM to make!
There is a detent at 100% analog, and if you pull further, it generates a button event. This is especially amazing for boost or afterburner on throttle, or e-brake on brake.

I missed the first controller, now I‘ll get this generation.

They seem to have dropped the two-stage triggers and I am NOT THRILLED.
What?!
who?!!!
Are you talking about them having a lockout for hairtrigger modes, or something different?

Interesting, I don’t think I’ve used a trigger with that feature before (or if I did, I wasn’t aware). Thanks for explaining.
AFAIK it is unique to the original steam controller. I don’t think the handheld has it.
Gamecube style analog triggers with a digital gate at the end
