The steam controller was a mediocre controller: Those touchpads are garbage for games that you are used to using a stick for. Valve made the same mistake when they used basically the same trackpads for the original Vive wands. It's awful to use, the force feedback doesn't even come close to replacing the actual physicality of normal sticks. But by god it is the best "control a computer from your couch" tool ever made. I love using it as a wireless mouse/keyboard thing for a media PC. The trackpads work great for the onscreen keyboard. 80 hour battery life is pretty great.
