The Steam Controller is one of the hottest tickets in gaming hardware town right now, and for good reason. Valve's second crack at a gamepad crams a lot of great design points into a $99/£85 package, but some of its best features are still emerging as more people begin to use it. Today, for instance, I discovered with the help of my fellow hardware team members that if you have gyro turned on, the best PC controller contender will produce one of my favorite canned audio clips when you drop it.
The Wilhelm Scream has been used in so many films, TV shows, and funny clip compilations online that a lot of you reading this will probably know the soundbite by name. The funny folks at Valve certainly do, because they programmed the Steam Controller to produce a Wilhelm Scream when the device falls from a height.
