Valve may be working on a new Steam Controller, dubbed the “Ibex,” and a controller for their Deckard VR kit, referred to as “Roy.” This information comes from Brad Lynch, known for his insights into Valve’s upcoming products. Both controllers are reportedly in advanced stages of development and gearing up for mass production.
The Deckard VR headset’s name, “Roy,” references characters from Blade Runner, connecting to the name “Rick Deckard.” The Roy controller is expected to include multiple features, such as a D-pad, bumpers, grip buttons, triggers, ABXY buttons, a system button, and a strap. There are also indications of an unreleased OpenXR extension for these controllers.
For the Steam Controller 2, there are questions surrounding its necessity. The original Steam Controller was created alongside Steam Machines and Steam Link. With the success of the Steam Deck and its compatibility with various controllers through Steam Input, the purpose of introducing a new controller raises interest. It may serve users who want a dedicated controller for the Steam Deck or signal Valve’s potential return to home-console development.
