Play your whole Steam library

Built for Steam, and configurable with Steam Input. Play all your games however you like, on whatever you like: PC, laptop, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and more.

Defining features of Steam Controller

Plug and play with the Steam Controller Puck

One puck, two jobs: It’s a wireless transmitter that provides a fast, stable connection for your Steam Controller. It's also a charging station, connecting to your Controller magnetically with a satisfying click. Prefer using Bluetooth or USB? Steam Controller supports those too.

Next-generation magnetic thumbsticks

Steam Controller comes with magnetic thumbsticks using TMR technology, designed for improved feel, responsiveness and long-term reliability. They also support capacitive touch to enable motion controls.

High definition rumble

Steam Controller's powerful motors are capable of handling complex waveforms for immersive, accurate haptics.

Grip-enabled gyro

We're calling it Grip Sense, and it's a new input for Steam Controller that enables gyro with capacitive touch. Hold and release to enable and disable gyro aiming. You can also map it like any other button.

Plus, all the inputs you'd expect

Control & comfort

Steam Controller is built for comfortable extended play, with thumbsticks, buttons, bumpers, and triggers positioned for hands of all sizes.

Icon: trackpad

Trackpads

Use Steam Controller to play even your favorite mouse and keyboard games. With increased precision and customizability, it's another way to enjoy fast-paced FPS games.

Motion control

Aim more naturally with gyro, capacitive touch thumbsticks, and the new grip-sense feature, to achieve even more precision.

Icon: grip buttons

Grip Buttons

Four buttons on the back; you choose how to use them, all while leaving your thumbs on the trackpads or thumbsticks.

Icon: Steam button

Steam Button

The Steam button is both the power button and the quickest way to navigate to your library, the store, game controls, settings, and more.

Icon: menu button

Quick Access Menu

Easily access notifications, friends list, Steam Chat, and more. Press and hold to get a handy list of shortcut options in Steam.

Customizable for Steam Input

Steam Controller was designed with all the inputs for all your games. Paired with Steam Input, it’s the ultimate customizable controller. Thanks to its input parity with Steam Deck, Steam Controller will be pre-populated with community configurations for thousands of games from day one, or you can make and share your own.

Steam Controller inputs

Steam Controller plays well, wherever Steam is

With anything running Steam

Steam Controller works with any PC or device running Steam or the Steam Link app. This includes Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs, as well as tablets and smart phones.

Steam Deck

Whether your Steam Deck is docked or on the go, Steam Controller is a great companion, with all the same familiar inputs.

Steam Machine

Steam Controller pairs easily to Steam Machine without its puck. Wake your Steam Machine without leaving your couch.

Steam Frame

Infrared LEDs make Steam Controller trackable by Steam Frame’s cameras when you’re immersed in VR. Perfect for playing all of your non-VR games on a giant virtual screen.

Powered by Steam, optimized for gaming in any form.

The Steam Hardware family officially expands in early 2026. Just like Steam Deck, all are optimized for gaming on Steam, and all are designed to help players get even more out of their Steam Library.
