The site also reported that the controller will use AA batteries, rechargeable or regular. It’s also been revealed that it will include gyroscopes, but said feature’s yet to be implemented.

And of course there’ll be more changes made before the controller releases alongside the army of Steam Machines hitting the market this year.

Valve will release the Steam Box sometime next year as a direct assault on Sony and Microsoft’s bread and butter — the living room. Will the Steam machines succeed? We don’t know yet. There hasn’t been such a distinct and capable competitor fighting for our gaming time like Valve, and what they’re offering is extremely tempting.

My guess is if the Steam Boxes could be sold at reasonable prices, then it’ll come down to services offered on said systems.

We’ll be paying close attention.
