The Steam controller is finally ready for pre-order. Valve posted the reveal video today on their official YouTube channel, check it out below to see what you think!

The controller boasts the best of both worlds, from pc gaming with the precision of the keyboard + mouse, and the comfort of console gaming from your couch. As a long term PC gamer it will take some convincing that you can really have the control they are claiming, but I’m excited to see how it fares. The high precision input is really going to be key in converting mouse gamers to the controller.

As you would expect the controller is customisable, you can setup your inputs just how you like it, and you will even be able to download and share your own settings from Steam games.
