Valve, the company behind the Steam gaming distribution platform, has branched out into hardware with a sleek 16-button touchscreen and two trackpad-sporting gamepad, designed to work with Valve’s TV-focused operating system, plus the Steam Machines PC hardware, all due in 2014. The company claims that “whole genres of games previously only playable with a keyboard and mouse” will be accessible in the living room with the controller. Civilisation without a mouse? We’re not yet convinced.
