    Deckard is rumoured to be the standalone VR headset (Steam Deck on your face).

    Roy is rumoured to be the VR controllers.

    Steam Controller 2 is the second coming of Jesus or something.

      standalone? as in something like the occulus quest?

      that would be awesome,
      even if that means that the steam controler remains dead.

        They’re doing both. A steam Controller 2, and a new controller for their standalone VR headset. And yes, rumors are it’ll be untethered like the Quest

    I’m sorry what the heck is that Blade Runner reference.

    Edit after skimming the article: It’s internal codenames for the controllers I think.

      The VR community has been hearing about this Deckard project for years. It’s been a long wait.

      I hope it’s mostly an evolution maybe with some extra buttons on the back like the steam deck.

      On a personal level, I always thought controllers with 6 face buttons instead of 4 needed to be more of a thing. I know the original Xbox tried with its black and white buttons, but I was thinking more a traditional A, B, C, X, Y, Z setup like the SEGA Saturn
