Famous game maker Valve released its best game controller, the Steam Controller, at the end of last year. The product went through a series of iterations after its announcement and before its launch. Now entering the market, the response is very good. But Valve didn't stop there, and the company is looking to give players real power to control their products. To this end, they uploaded the 3D CAD file of the Steam Controller, allowing the player to design their own hardware mod.
It is understood that the current Steam Controller retail price of 50 US dollars, similar to other high-end game controllers on the market, but it also has some additional features that PC game players appreciate. It also provides a dual touchpad in addition to a joystick and several physical buttons. Its internal gyroscope can support some mouse-like functions. Valve says the handle can be used effectively even in games that don't fully support the controller. Valve has always wanted to be able to customize the controller hardware, so the company's CAD design files for this release are not so surprising.
It is reported that these CAD design files are licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons, which includes the precise geometry of all of its externally visible components. Therefore, you will not be able to modify the inside of the controller, these things are not free to use. The 800MB ZIP file shared on Valve's official website contains several eDrawings viewer files, such as Creo Express, and a 3D printer file (almost half of the downloads). It includes everything you can adjust to the design.
Valve's license allows everyone to adapt these CAD designs to their liking and print them in 3D , or to more people. But if you want to sell Steam Controller accessories or mods made with these CAD files, you must get permission from Valve.
Valve has risen with the success of the famous shooter Half-Life series, which currently has the world's most popular PC gaming solution and comprehensive download platform Steam.
