The Steam Machine and Steam Frame are probably delayed, but they still intend to release them in the first half of this year.
They said they planned to have a concrete launch window and pricing by now, but hardware pricing/shortages have made that hard to pin down.
Does steam input run on the controller itself or the device it’s connected to though?
It runs as part of steam, so you would need to add the program you want to use to steam as an external program and start it through steam. Steam Input then runs as a translation layer around the other program. At least that’s how it works on the Steamdeck.
