This game is a beautiful work of art! Amazing storyline, good game mechanics and really fun battle system. The only thing I can say i dislike is the hacking mini game which I only dislike because I am not good at it. I have had this game for a while but now I understand why this game had such a huge following when it came out. Great job guys!

Title: Thank you from a guy with PCS [Post Concussion Syndrome]

Having gotten a concussion about 5 months ago and still suffering with Post Concussion Syndrome, I have had a lot of time off. Dealing with a lot of the many issues that come with PCS, mainly depression and anxiety I wanted to get something that would allow me to take my mind off of my current situation and help me play through my game backlog. Well I picked this controller up at Gamestop seeing that it was on clearance and decided to give it a shot. The unboxing was pretty nice with a decent presentation and connecting it to my main gaming PC I didn't have any issues getting it to work.

My first game I started playing was CS:GO and right away I noticed that the touchpad was HUGE for accuracy in game, I did have to go through and make adjustments as far as accuracy/speed goes but I got it setup to where I am getting better with it everyday. But this is MUCH better than any other controller with thumbsticks that I have used in the past. I then decided that I would put together an HTPC with my leftover PC parts from my previous build. The old parts were pretty big and ran hot but I connected the PC to the TV in our bedroom, overall experience was pretty good especially with the steam streaming capability and having the ability to stream this game from my high end gaming desktop vs using an old Radeon HD 6870. I also started to play a work of art I got off a steam sale and have been obsessed with it since: Neir Automata. Over wireless N the HTPC had a few hiccups but once it got running, the game ran fine from my gaming PC in the office. Next I learned about Steam Link and after doing some research, I had wished I bought it while it was on sale for $2.50. Looking for alternatives I learned that you can use your phone and run the SteamLink app so thats what I did. Having my S9+ connected to the TV via a Samsung Dex cable I was able to run the SteamLink app and connect it to my Steam Controller and I was able to play Neir Automata in bed! This was a beautiful sight!

I wanted to thank the folks at Valve for creating this awesome ecosystem and set of tools for me to learn while i was going through some bad depression and dark times. Also the studio that made Neir that has created this beautiful story for me to get hooked into! Having this has help keep me from thinking of all the negative things in my life and even helped me have a lot of fun discovering and making all of this work together!

Pros:
-Plays beautifully with the Steam environment[Steam OS, Steam LInk app]
-Amazing customizability with button and touchpad behaviors for all of the games that I have played
-Excellent Steam community uploading their own custom configurations for games
-Bluetooth capability to pair with your Android device

Cons:
- Learning curve
-Shoulder buttons could be softer instead of a click[think PS4 shoulder buttons]
-Not great for fighting games but this is where you get your PS4 controller with the D-pad


Summary: Definitely recommend this controller and to anyone who has a vast Steam Library with different genres of games. Although there is a bit of a learning curve to go with it, IMO this is the only controller I would use to play shooters with compared to the other ones out there [PS4, Joy-cons, Xbox one, etc] as it provides the accuracy you need. The touchpad can be easily adapted to any other game as well with the large amount of community configurations that can be customized.
