The right stick not existing was a massive limitation with certain games.
Comment on How to use your Steam Deck as a PC controller
finthechat@kbin.social 9 months agoThere's a joke to be made here about people loving the Steam Deck but not the Steam Controller

It sometimes was but there were good alternatives for that. The much bigger problem imo was the lack of a dpad, using the trackpad for that was abysmal.

The controller on the deck is actually different though.
It'd be good if they can eventually make a controller that is actually based on the steamdeck's controller design.

I would buy one as soon as I could.

Yeah, trackpads in addition to joysticks, rather than instead of joysticks, is such a game changer.

Right, it has more inputs that I find attractive. Especially with Steam Input being a thing, I typically use trackpads as a virtual menu for some games (MMOs typically), with the sticks being the normal move/camera. Then the extra two buttons on the back, helps to bind extra commands to them or tie them to a mode shift.
A Steam Controller 2 with all the inputs of the deck would be a day 1 buy.
