Why aren’t there more PC-first gamepads? Valve don’t know, but they "did see an opportunity" for the new Steam Controller

We asked Valve why there aren't more Steam Controller-style gamepads designed for PC first.

      TMR isn’t unique to the steam controller. Plenty of 3rd party controllers have had them for years at this point.

        What are some good ones that won’t break the bank? I thought the issue was quality control so this is enlightening!

          I’ve never heard of any QC issues unique to TMR. Sure the Guilikit doesn’t have the best QC, but none of their controllers really do, and it’s a $30 controller. You can get 3 of them and it’s still less than the steam controller. The gamesir is about $30 cheaper and is actually decent quality.
