Comment on The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable!

With the Steam Deck’s success, I’m surprised the Steam Controller didn’t return, as I think it would be an excellent controller for couch-mode gaming. I’d buy 4 of 'em.

I don’t own a Deck, but Wikipedia does say that the Deck has HDMI out. I guess that having the Steam Controller available would presumably let you use the Deck as a console — plug it into your TV, pair a Steam Controller, and then you get a big screen and a lighter controller.

  You need a docking station for it

  No, it has USB 3.0 type-C that’s capable of video output

  Not HDMI-out, you need some USB-C <-> HDMI cable. Preferrably a dock since there’s only one USB-C on the Deck. But otherwise, yes: plug it into a TV and it’ll display on the TV, connect a bluetooth controller and you basically have a console.
  
  I was just hoping Steam Controllers were still around to be that controller
