Excited for this. Hopefully they keep the dualstage triggers, they're great for emulating Gamecube games.

I hope they improve it. The steam controller was the worst controller I have ever used. Hard to hold, loud buttons, just awful UX

It is still the best controller I've used despite having come from a console background so dual joystick controllers being my most used controller prior to it. I loved being freed of the reliance on aim assists and weapon/item wheels.
Nothing has come close to replicating the functionality of the dual touchpads which I use for movement, quick gadget swapping, quick 180s/gyro activation.
And I use it to play games like Doom Eternal, Left 4 Dead 2, Spin Rhythm XD, The Finals, etc.

I wonder if I just got a bad one, because it was so terrible I cannot imagine anyone liking it.

It's probably more due to not knowing how to use it and just going with whatever random config was applied. It's not a controller for people who aren't used to controller remappers and just wanted it to function like a xbox controller.

No, like it was physically awful. Using the pads required effort and the clicks were sooo loud.

Long time PC and console gamer. For me, the X-box controller achieved the pinnacle of usability, I was intrigued by the Steam controller, but it was so shoddy.

I straight up did not like the first controller. Tried to push my cousin into taking it and he snuck it back in my car because he didn’t want it 😆 That being said, I grabbed a steam deck a while ago and that thing rules. I’d be very excited to check out a V2 controller with everything they’ve learned.
