Engineered to integrate smoothly with Steam’s platform, the new Horipad Wireless includes three dedicated menu buttons that provide quick access to Steam features—ideal for users who often navigate Big Picture mode on their PC. The controller connects to Windows PCs and Steam Deck via Bluetooth, with a battery life of up to 12 hours.
While the gamepad comes in four distinct color variants in Japan: Midnight Black, Shiny White, Neon Yellow, and Luminous Violet, for now those in the US can only preorder the Midnight Black version from Amazon. We’ll also keep an eye out for any updates on the other color options.
It’s a pretty exciting new addition into the PC controller market. Alongside the GameSir T4 Kaleid and the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra, which both offer software-driven customization, the Horipad’s distinct combination of touch thumbsticks, analog/digital trigger modes, and gyro support make it a unique entry in the field.
