Designed for quick response, the SteamOS interface is clear and works brilliantly with a controller, making launching or switching games a matter of moments. High refresh rate support delivers smooth visuals even in fast-paced action scenes, while efficient cooling keeps temperatures low during long gaming sessions. Quiet operation and stable performance let you focus fully on your game without distracting noise or FPS drops.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity
Steam Machine integrates seamlessly into any modern gaming setup, offering a stable connection for all your needs. Fast Wi-Fi 6E maintains low latency for online gaming, while Bluetooth 5.3 enables convenient connection of controllers, headsets, and other peripherals. With HDMI or DisplayPort, you easily connect the device to a monitor or TV to take full advantage of high refresh rates. Expandable storage via NVMe adds space for more games, and vast compatibility with the Steam library ensures you can jump into virtually any title.
Connect keyboard, mouse, and VR
Steam Machine appeals to anyone who wants the convenience of a console but does not want to sacrifice the freedom and possibilities of a classic PC. The open ecosystem lets you connect a keyboard, mouse, VR headset, and external storage, making it easy to customise the device to your gaming style. At the same time, you can rely on a system that automatically updates, optimises performance, and keeps everything running smoothly. There are also customisable graphic profiles and cloud saves, allowing you to return to your game on any device without complex setup.
Steam Controller wireless controller
Steam Controller is a wireless gaming controller designed for the entire library of games on Steam. It offers magnetic analogue sticks with TMR technology, two trackpads, gyroscopic controls, and four rear buttons that you can customise to your needs. Four haptic motors ensure precise vibration feedback, and the 8.39Wh battery enables over 35 hours of play on a single charge. Thanks to Steam Input technology, you can tailor the controls to different game genres and your own preferences. Steam Controller supports wireless connection via the included Steam Controller Puck wireless adapter, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C connection. Use it with PCs, Steam Deck, and other compatible devices running Steam or the Steam Link app.

Alternative to keyboard and mouse
Steam Controller is designed for comfortable play even during long gaming sessions. Analogue sticks, buttons, and triggers make it easy to control games of various genres. Two 34.5mm trackpads present an alternative to a keyboard and mouse, which you will also appreciate when playing first-person shooters. Their pressure sensitivity lets you set the force required to activate a click. Steam Input technology offers extensive customisation options for individual inputs. Because its control options match those of the Steam Deck, Steam Controller supports community configurations for thousands of games right at launch. You can also create your own profiles and share them with others. Four buttons on the back allow you to map additional functions.
Precise movements with haptic feedback
Magnetic analogue sticks with TMR technology are designed for responsive control, quick feedback, and long-term reliability. Capacitive touch sensing lets you easily activate motion controls. The gyroscope together with the grip sensor brings additional options for aiming and motion control. Two capacitive sensing zones on the back of the grips allow you to activate the gyroscope by holding the controller, and release it to turn the function off again. You can also assign other button functions to the sensor. Four haptic motors support complex vibration patterns for precise and intense feedback. Two LRA linear resonant actuators in the trackpads ensure detailed haptic feedback, and two more powerful LRA motors in the grips deliver haptic response including vibrations.
Wireless connection and magnetic charging
The Steam Controller system includes the Steam Controller Puck adapter, which serves as a wireless transmitter and charging dock. It connects to your PC via USB-C and ensures 2.4GHz wireless communication with an overall latency of approximately 8ms measured from a distance of 5m. The polling rate is 4ms and a single adapter supports the connection of up to four Steam Controllers. You can magnetically attach the controller to the adapter for easy charging. Alternatively, you can use Bluetooth or a wired USB-C connection. The 8.39Wh battery provides over 35 hours of gameplay. Battery life is lower when playing with motion tracking in Steam Frame.
Compatibility with Steam devices
The Steam Controller works with PCs and other devices running Steam or the Steam Link app. It supports Windows and Linux PCs, tablets and smartphones. You can use it with the Steam Deck, whether docked or handheld. The controller pairs easily with the Steam Machine without needing the Steam Controller Puck adapter. In addition, you can wake the Steam Machine directly from the controller. When playing in virtual reality with Steam Frame, the controller's infrared LEDs can be used for camera tracking, for example when playing standard games on a virtual big screen. For macOS, the Steam Controller is not compatible with certain Steam games that use Apple's Game Controller framework. A compatibility fix is being prepared in cooperation with Apple.
