    WTB: Steam Controller (2026) if you don't want yours

    Are you still looking for one? Managed to snag 2 of them and really don’t use the second at all.

    I mean, you technically can do exactly that. Build your own mini-ITX machine and install steamOS.

    Steam Controller

    I think that applies to the triggers on the ps5 controller but AFAIK the rest of the functionality works ootb wirelessly via steam

    Steam Controller

    If you have a ps4 or ps5 controller, you can get the exact same functionality so don’t really need the steam controller for that, but the extra 4 back buttons (plus the dedicated steam and quick access buttons) make it worth having IMO

    Steam Controller

    If you’re using the controller on a TV setup, they are essential (assuming you don’t have a keyboard and mouse hooked up). Even games with proper controller support often have launchers that require a mouse to navigate. Plus as others have said, you can remap them to anything you want via...

    I’m not sure if she “likes” it per se but she lets me keep it out in the open lol W for me either way lol

    I got to say that I wasn’t expecting much out of the steam machine after all the not-so-positive reviews and assumed I’d regret the impulse buy but have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s super tiny which makes it easy to convince the wife to keep it on the TV stand. The build quality is...

    I got on the reservation list initially and was on the fence on what I was going to do… but as luck (or lack thereof) would have it, received the email from valve this morning and reluctantly pulled the trigger. Now I need to figure out how to explain it to the wife 😬

    It’s nice if you have that option. I pitched the wife on doing that with my basic mid-tower (looks more like a subwoofer than a PC) and got shot down. My only real option is a very small form factor if I want it in the living room :(

    IMO, skip Bazzite and go straight to CachyOS. The atomic model is attractive in theory but when you have to start OSTree layering, it can get dicey on updates and muck everything up. I started with Bazzite, learned the hard way that layering can be dangerous and jumped to Cachy and am very happy...

    I REALLY want one but its a big NO at the current prices. It makes far more sense to grab a dock for a steamdeck, if you have one, and just use that for the living room. And if you need more HP, use moonlight to stream from a beefier machine.

    WTB: DDR4 ECC memory. 32-64gb

    That’s unfortunate :( it’s surprisingly difficult to find. If I don’t have any luck here I’ll try eBay

    Sorry I need udimms and speed isn’t terribly important.

    Shoot me a PM and let me know what you have. I definitely don’t want to spend a lot of money as this is for an old build so looking to see if anyone has some they want to let go for a fair price. I have 100% positive heatware. Thanks Steve
