Valve is making a new controller

14 October 2016

Valve is reportedly developing a new controller to work alongside the HTC Vive, reports Eurogamer.

“Pictures of its prototype were leaked on Twitter via developers Robert Merki and @downtohoerth after seeing it at today’s Steam Dev Days conference in Seattle.”

The controller implements a new grip mechanic which means gamers will be able to intuitively interact with objects in VR games.

Merki noted on Twitter that “New Vive controllers [are] coming soon. Prototype available at #SteamDevDays.”
