Valve confirms they are entering the hardware business

"We're frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space though, so we're jumping in," Valve declares. "Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven't really changed in any meaningful way over the years. There's a real void in the marketplace, and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked."
This obviously leads to speculation that they are making there own computer, but if this is successful this could lead to Valve making the "Steambox" and entering the console business.
What do you think?.

LOL i laughed soooo hard when i saw this!!!! cos it basically slaps all the PC drones in the face, like proper b**** slap. keyboard sucks i don't care what anyone says, i have plenty of games on the PC i even love the mouse for aiming but the keyboard is just no way to play games
THANK YOU!!!!
I h8te the keyboard, it's just so...confusing!
Edit: Plus... They patented a controller for PC before, so it's probably that...

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect

Well, there goes my dream of Nintendo merging with Valve.
Buy both companies and merge them by your self. Never give up your dreams!

I hope they don't enter the console market, they would get slaughtered. I'm still surprised XBOX made it alive (and well), but that definitely has a lot to do with timing and the company behind it.
PC gaming though, I'm intrigued...
I don't think Gabe Newell is going to risk Valve by entering the console market...its a market they literally have no attachment to anyways outside of Half-Life being ported over by a 3rd party.
