Valve updated their article about when the Steam Machine/Controller/Frame will ship.

Previous message:

We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. We’ll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!

As far as I recall they did say that you can use them with the Steam Machine.

I just want a good controller where the hands aren't forced to be together. The Switch ones are too small for me.

Do you recall where you saw that? I can't find that statement. Would be cool if true though. Wasn't possible for Index Controllers.

Probably one of the early videos when they were announced.
