You can still us it while it is plugged in. It looks to have USB C on the front or you can just have the puck on the controller while you play with it plugged in.

Just like how the PS4 and PS5 wireless controllers can be used, while plugged in.

The magnetic puck is great. I hope it is at least 6ft in length.

I know but wireless version of controllers are more expensive than the regular wired ones.

The controller has always been a wireless experience.

That is a different issue then what you stated in your OP.

I don't mind the cable, i just rather not have to recharge the thing every once in a while

The previous Steam Controller was actually less expensive then other first party game controllers ($50 vs $60-$70).

It isn't so much if it is wired or wireless these days, but the technology that goes into it.

The with new Steam Controller, it uses more modern tech then even Xbox or PS in theirs. Magnetic thumb sticks (far less likely to get stick drift), haptic feedback and the extra buttons, the only equivalent is the $200 DualSense Edge and that doesn't even use magnetic thumb sticks.

So, honestly, well worth it. I also love how it isn't the Xbox style controller. I never could get used the that thumbstick positioning.
