Steam Frame early impressions: light headset, awkward controllers

GamingOnLinux tested the Steam Frame on SteamOS 0.4 (1TB model) with streaming from Fedora KDE 45 and a Radeon RX 9070 XT. The headset is light and comfortable thanks to the rear battery, setup was easy and Beat Saber ran smoothly, but the new controllers feel awkward and the dongle randomly disconnects on Fedora.

• Headset is light with a rear battery for balance, but pulls on eyelids without a top strap
• Beat Saber ran smoothly with no tinkering required
• Controllers use swappable AA batteries but are awkward to hold
• Dongle randomly connects and disconnects on Fedora KDE 45
