  Same here. My current Steam Controller is on its last leg and I’ve spent like 1000 hours on it.

    I purchased mine for full price too. Unfortunately I do not like it for various reasons. Missing dpad and second stick, and holding it is a bit uncomfortable to my hands. And at the early days Steam Input wasn’t this refined. But I loved using it to play with gyro controls. But will keep it, its history. :-)

    The new controller is based on the Steam Deck controls and vastly superior to me (if we assume its like that). I can’t imagine you don’t liking it as much as the old controller.

      Steam Controller really comes into it’s own when you rely on both touchpads.

      I usually map the left joystick to the left touchpad on touch, and if I need options for the D-pad map them to the joysticks instead or even touchpad 4 button click.

      For side scrolling platformers I just map the D Pad to the left touchpad on touch, and ABXY to the right touchpad on touch.

        I could not for the life of me get used to using the left pad mapped as a stick, and d-pad stuff on the stick just felt wrong. Still loved the controller, though.

      Same energy of scalpers.

  I feel the same way. They must be adamant that they need to all launch at the same time or something. I think they should just release the controller ASAP, but they probably have a logistical reason not to.
