Watch the production of the Steam Controller, courtesy of an Aperture assembly line

As a bit of a treat, during the December 2015 Steam Controller Update, Valve included a video demonstrating the production of the Steam Controller.

It’s really rather interesting – we love ourselves a good How it’s Made-esque production line video, particularly if it’s the production of a gadget or hardware – but perhaps the best part of the video was the Aperture logos plastered on the robots. Throw in the Portal theme and you’ve got a fairly surreal, eerie video.

It’s virtually all robotic; GLaDOS would be so proud.

Valve also made a point of introducing a number of new developments regarding their new controller, like the use of its gyroscopic sensors in FPS games.

Having seen the videos, which you’ll find in the update page, we’re rather impressed by the community’s work, and even more so of Valve’s foresight to offer community involvement like they did.

The update goes on to describe the various mouse-like movements and options available to users of the Steam Controller.

If you own one or are thinking about it, you should definitely check it out.
