@JezCorden They just can’t make up their mind and have consistent messaging

@VideoCardz What’s the point? The walls are max 1500w here in standard homes

ASUS ROG Thor 3000W Titanium III Edition 20 PSU listed at €999, comes with four ROG Equalizer cables for quad RTX 5090 setup

@tomwarren Exclusivity and this creates mixed messaging imo although we know they explained it

Valve is getting serious with Steam Machine and Steam Frame.
• Steam Machine Verified is basically the Steam Deck playbook, but for the living room
• Target is 1080p / 30 FPS
• Steam Deck Verified games should mostly carry over
• Steam Frame is focused on standalone VR and streaming
• Valve says the new Steam hardware launches this summer
This is where SteamOS starts to take more places than just the Steam Deck.

@WinC_Gaming @JezCorden Why are these premium controllers all loud and clicky? Can’t comprehend
English

It's not the best-looking Xbox controller in the world, but the Flydigi Vader 5S has some unique features I wish other Xbox controllers would consider.
REVIEW: windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/fl… 🎮
A ton of additional buttons, Hall Effect sticks, and unique steel thumbstick adjustment rings seal the deal. This is a really solid first entry from @myFlydigi.
English

@MizoChris I don’t understand the trend of clicky controllers with noise. All premium ones feel bad. I can’t find something with Xbox layout but quiet like dualsense. 8bitdo ultimate 2 is too small that it gave me thumb fatigue and was loud
English

Your controller is FAILING You...
Potentiometer sticks
• Traditional analog stick
• Uses physical contact to read movement
• Found in Xbox, DualSense, and many standard controllers
• Main weakness: wear over time, which can lead to stick drift
Hall Effect sticks
• Uses magnets and sensors
• No physical contact for position tracking
• Usually more resistant to drift
• Found in controllers like many 8BitDo and GameSir models
TMR magnetic sticks
• Magnetic, but more precise and power efficient
• Can detect smaller movements more accurately
• Usually seen as the next step above Hall Effect
• Found in the new Steam Controller and some newer premium controllers
• Found in controllers like Steam Controller & GameSir G7 Pro
Potentiometer = cheaper and common, but wears out quick for intense gamers
Hall Effect = magnetic and more drift resistant
TMR = magnetic, more precise, and more advanced
Which controller would you go with?

@shadlink321 @WindowsCentral Right but those are consoles. Dualsense would work on steam on pc for example. You are missing the point
English

@carmichael7 @WindowsCentral Yes, since they all implemented the XInput standard. Let's try to make the XBOX controller work on a PS5 or Switch 2. Yeah, not going to work!!
English

Disappointing testing results confirm it: Valve's new Steam Controller cannot be detected as a joypad in PC Game Pass titles when launched as a non-Steam game, unless you install third-party apps from GitHub.
The controller stays in "lizard mode" without access to Steam Input, which offers little more than basic mouse controls and a handful of keyboard inputs for basic navigation.
SDL library support is on the way, but it doesn't solve the lack of XInput on Windows. Is it a game breaker for you, or did you buy the Steam Controller anyway?

@shadlink321 @WindowsCentral Idk what you mean. Standard Xbox controller works on steam, Xbox app, epic etc
English

@carmichael7 @WindowsCentral So you don't use any controllers then. Since not a single controller will work with all stores and all games.

"Report: PlayStation won't release its single player games on Windows PC or Steam anymore — putting pressure on Xbox as it considers bringing exclusives back."
Sony is making its single player PlayStation games completely console exclusive. Will Xbox respond?

@Pirat_Nation Maybe handhelds in the future if this goes well

Valve is continuing to improve its ARM gaming plans ahead of the Steam Frame launch, with new Proton updates showing better ARM64 support and Qualcomm optimization.
Proton 11 Beta 3 adds improved FEX emulation support for Linux ARM64 systems, helping Windows games run better on ARM processors.
It also brings better support for 32-bit and 64-bit games, improved controller support, and stronger Qualcomm chip optimization.
Recent Steam database updates mentioning Steam Machine and Steam Frame packages, along with Valve preparing a reservation system, suggest the company is nearing a wider hardware launch.

@bdsams @JezCorden @zacbowden They should ban cheap laptops that are given at work and ruin windows experience. There should be a higher standard minimum for all regardless of the manufacturer
English

@zacbowden Be Microsoft
Have 1.6 billion MAUs of Windows
Never talk about it on stage
Never communicate big updates
Wonders why no one talks about Windows.

Microsoft needs to do an annual event like this for Windows imo

@WinC_Gaming @JezCorden I’m not Gen Z but I get this. If you don’t like replaying, why not sub to the service and enjoy something new?
English

"Gen Z's shift toward Xbox Game Pass has me rethinking how we buy video games and subscriptions"
A new gaming study suggests audiences are moving away from ownership, and Xbox may benefit from that shift.
Frankly, I’m not surprised.

@Yacamochi_db Nice, enjoy it. Where’s the campaign? Only in physical store?

@VadimYuryev Now, if you can game on the Apple devices, then it’d be a checkmate
English

Prediction: Windows DIY PC users will become laptop buyers in 2026 due to the RAMpocalypse.
Those laptop buyers will eventually become Apple Mac buyers since laptops will also be getting more expensive due to Nvidia no longer including VRAM.
Apple's Golden era is upon us.

@JezCorden The characters and the world and the story… I just couldn’t get into it. Felt like none mattered

@iiamcloudman Hope this has silent buttons like the dualsense.
