We test and tear down Valve's new Steam Controller, the first of three Steam hardware devices releasing this year. Here's how it compares with the original Steam Controller released a decade ago, how the gyro and trackpads perform, and the unique features of its tracking puck. Plus, an interview with the Valve team about the gamepad's design and why they chose its specific components.
