New Steam Controller’s surprising features

Did you know the new $99 Steam Controller rings like a phone so you can find it in your couch cushions? Or that you can type with two thumbs on a PC from across the room? Or plug it in over USB-C to navigate your BIOS? Or that its wireless puck doubles as a wireless charger that magnetically snaps to the controller? It may not have mechanical hair triggers or replaceable stick tops, but there are lots o’ surprising features you won’t find on any other pad — not even counting the magnetic joysticks, twin touchpads, and infinitely customizable community control schemes.
