Runs on a version of linux (SteamOS), which is fucking cool. You can also install other game stores and run normal programs on it.

Here are some tech specs:

  • CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
  • GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6 TFlops FP32)
  • 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM (5500 MT/s)
  • 1280 x 800px (16:10 aspect ratio)
  • 7" optically bonded LCD
  • Bluetooth 5.0 (support for controllers, accessories and audio)
  • Wi-FiDual-band Wi-Fi radio, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, 2 x 2 MIMO, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
  • MicroSD slot to add more storage

Is this any good? Looks better than the switch, but idk.

    I fucking love my Steam Controller, I use it for just about every game that makes sense to use it for, and a fair few where it doesn't because the inputs are so customizable you can turn it into a better-than-KB+M option with a little bit of experimentation. It's criminal that they dropped support for it.
