Steam Controller Drops Touchscreen

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday March 15, 2014 @08:51AM from the walking-back-innovation dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last year Valve announced a new game controller that was trying to innovate on the designs that have been with us for over a decade now. The biggest changes were replacing analog sticks with circular touchpads and plopping a small touchscreen into the middle of the controller. Valve has now revamped their prototype hardware, and the touchscreen is nowhere to be seen. In its place are stop/play buttons (which appear similar to start/select buttons) and a bigger Steam logo button. They've also moved around the directional and ABXY buttons, reverting to a more traditional layout (picture). They'll be demonstrating the latest prototype next week at GDC."

It's just that yesterday (or the day before) they actually unveiled some new imagery showing what it looks like.
