Finally, to make all of this more interesting and appealing, the company has unveiled the epic Steam Controller that all we gamers will soon be sweating on. And, as for the first look, it looks freakin amazing.

“The Steam controller offers a new and, we believe, vastly superior control scheme, all while enabling you to play from the comfort of your sofa. Built with high-precision input technologies and focused on low-latency performance, the Steam controller is just what the living-room ordered.” Valve states on the website.

So, what do you think about this bad boy? Do you think this could challenge PS4 and Xbox One?
