Like the original Steam Controller, the device appears to be attracting tinkerers interested in pushing its haptic motors beyond standard gameplay feedback.
COMMENTARY
The demos highlight how advanced controller haptics are becoming more expressive and programmable, turning input devices into playful experimental platforms. For Valve, this kind of modding appeal can help differentiate Steam hardware and build enthusiasm among PC gaming enthusiasts.
