I would love to have a Steam Machine. I love my Steam Deck. However... the nature of Steam games, so far, even on the Deck, is that you need to bop "ok" every once in a while, or even enter a username or something for some unwashed-ass game, and that's a lot harder on a form factor that doesn't have a touchscreen...

The steam controller is amazing for that.

I really want an updated steam controller with the same haptic touchpad tech present on the deck. The original controller, while comfortable, just doesn't compare to the improvements present on the Deck 😭

Steamdeck + dock is essentially a Steam machine isn't it?

That's how I use my steam deck - a dell dock & some controllers

I mean with the fantastic touchpads that steam deck has and the steam machine controller would have it should be possible and quite easy to do.
