I actually love the steam controller. You are weird.

Seriously though, can you explain your dislike for it? I'm curious.

Remember when indie game writers were testing it to see if it's good and the game they thought was suited for that was bidirectional single action button platformer super meat boy

Seriously

It is a mouse and a controller and I feel it has a hard time being either. There are better mouse input devices and better controllers, so it feels really weird to me.

Got one, not really that impressed. It's nice for light surfing tasks on the couch though.

For racing games (sims) the triggers have a too short path. Gyro isn't precice enough for me. I'd like to create a config where you steer like with a wheel on one of the touch circles:

it APPEARS to me, based on extensive research, that the "steam games pad control unit" has very limited use unless u really want to play mouse based games on a couch. compounding this issue, there are no games designed to really take advantage of its layout and unique functionality. there is no such thing as a "general purpose" controller bc all games are designed with assumptions about their intended input device baked into them and are almost always goign 2 play suboptimally on a different one

jus't my too sents, take care and good luck on your path  Smiley Wink Smiley Wink

I like the steam controller.  Being able to toggle the gyro thingie on/off by just making contact with the right side pad/stick/thing has been a helpful feature.
