The steam controller 1 already has wifi, its not the only controller that does this, the nvidia shield controller also does. The standard these and a very few other controllers use is called wifi direct, and basically uses an adhoc network to connect. This is seamless for the user.
That’s would be really neat for those of us with lots of wireless interference in the 2.4 GHz band. I can’t even really use Bluetooth controllers for that reason.
Controller with 5ghz wifi? Hmm.
Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.
Fancy controller with embedded screen and CPU?
Don’t be crazy.
Standalone VR!
Integrated Steam Link?

Valve could be trying their own version of stadia / Luna. Doubtful though. Probably a vr device.
