Valve's Steam controller tweaked once again
The latest design now includes an analog stick.
When Valve first introduced its Steam controller some time ago, it introduced a funky new control style that not many gamers were used to. It utilized touch pads in the place of traditional controllers, but still appeared as if it was built for comfort. Still, some folks couldn't help but feel the need for an analog stick. Well, good news, gang, you're getting one.
Although the general touch pads are still in place for the redesign of the Steam controller, an analog stick has now been added, located to the lower left of the control pad. The design, discovered by SteamDB, shows the stick fits right in with the controller's set-up.
A lot of changes have gone into the controller since the announcement, including the removal of a touch-screen and buttons added in its place, as well as a sleeker build that makes the controller easier to hold.
It still doesn't have a release date as of yet, as Valve probably has even more tweaks in mind before a final build is ready. But, still, you've got your analog stick, people. Enjoy!

Shacknews is no longer a relevant video game news site because of stuff like this. In this business, if you're not posting news the day it breaks or shortly thereafter, you're losing traffic to competition.
A site like Rock Paper Shotgun can away with posting news slowly because their editorials and features are so strong. Shacknews can't afford to do the same in its current state.
The frontpage is more often than not days behind the chatty, and a thread here gets posted after another site reports on the subject.
If I'm imagining this issue, please tell me.-

Shacknews was just bought for a relatively small sum of money, and very nearly avoided getting shut down. It's not just the Chatty that has dwindled in size - the frontpage has lost viewers too.

because digital doesn't do degrees. If you go left with digital its all left, you can't go a bit left. Some games use the analog input to sense how much of one direction to determine speed so if you press the stick all the way, its full speed, but if you just move it slightly, you guy moves slowly in that direction
