Hori's new 'Steam Controller' might be the first third party Steam hardware we've seen in years, but where are its trackpads, its adorable owl-like face?
First reported by The Verge, peripherals manufacturer Hori is making an official Steam-branded controller set to release in Japan on October 31. While this is a Steam controller, it's not a Steam Controller if you take my meaning. But this is the first time Valve has licensed the Steam branding to a third party hardware manufacturer since the quiet death of the ill-starred Steam Machines.
