Hell yes, two joysticks! My biggest gripe with the first steam controller is that I could NOT get used to using the touchpad as a joystick.

I loved the touchpad as joystick in the valve games (portal, halflife). But as soon as you got to other games, for some reason it didn't work as well.

I still have my steam controller (and it still works), but normally use an xbone controller.

I am keen to try one of these out though, they said 2026 so there's a good chance it will be delivered this decade.

Mine Gabe my thumb wicked cramps, I couldn't adjust to it. But I loved it still.

4 back buttons and TMR sticks is nice...

But Sony's triggers are just too good to skip when supported. It sucks such a general idea can't get locked down by patents for years

The PS5 triggers are so dope. I love when a game supports them.

YES!

I think the canted touchpads are a nice touch, and inline sticks are the way to go (I can't believe Nintendo and Microsoft continue to get this wrong).
