Valve has added 'initial' SteamOS gamepad support for several new gaming handhelds, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+
Along with a host of bug fixes, of course.
Valve has introduced initial SteamOS gamepad support for several non-Valve gaming handhelds in the latest 3.8.25 Beta release. Among the supported devices are the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, Ayaneo Pocket S2, and the Konkr Fit. The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is a gaming handheld, while the Ayaneo Pocket S2 and Konkr Fit are Android and Windows-powered handhelds, respectively.
The Konkr Fit comes with AMD APU options, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, featuring TMR joysticks and Hall effect triggers. Additionally, Valve has updated gamepad support for the OneXPlayer Apex, an ultra-high-end handheld previously released. The update also includes new firmware for the Steam Machine, aiming to resolve issues such as CPU performance degradation post-sleep wake-up.
Despite the ongoing hardware price crisis, Valve continues to enhance SteamOS compatibility with new handheld releases.
