Yeah, in fairness the steam controller had its perks. I didn't see the appeal of the two pads, but it was the first I can recall to do half/full pull triggers.

Their customization also allowed you to do some crazy things. Personal favorite of mine was setting the gyroscope to act as right joystick, but only while zoomed in. This let you fine adjust your aim with about as much precision as with a mouse. In the end though every game had to be translated to the controller and there was always enough of a change to make it feel unintuitive. If Valve had paid an intern to go through the top games each day and make official layouts for games that roughly lined up with each other I'd probably be using one now.
