It retains features such as dual trackpads while sporting a more conventional layout, alongside additional buttons and expanded customisation options aimed at PC gamers who prefer couch-style play. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Like other Steam-compatible peripherals, the controller is designed to work across a range of platforms, including PCs, Macs and mobile devices running the Steam ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"local-availability\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Local availability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For now, the Steam Controller appears to be launching first in the United States, with no official confirmation of availability in Singapore or other Southeast Asian markets. As with previous Valve hardware, regional rollout details could take some time to surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For more information, head over to Valve\u2019s website here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: The Verge<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/valve-steam-controller-pc-gaming-singapore-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valve has confirmed the launch details for its new Steam Controller, with the controller set to go on sale from 4 May at a price&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[5235,4131,3418,8372],"class_list":["post-48179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-controller","tag-launches","tag-steam","tag-valves","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/48180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
