>But you can say that the Steam Machines may have more games (but not as many that you can play with a joypad - since some PC games require a keyboard anyway).

  > Apparently the steam controller is designed to be a suitable replacement for a keyboard/mouse, and will include a system for sharing controller mappings for games over steam. I have tried the Steam controller (the beta version from a while ago) and it is certainly not as easy to use at they make it look like. It certainly takes a while to get used to it.

    It's understandable that it will take a while to get used to (it's a fairly new interface/form factor combination for an input device), a Valve employee on Reddit has confirmed that the steam controller use in the launch video was live action[1] and that the programmer who designed the keyboard interface can type faster than him on a standard keyboard using it.[2] So it might require practise, but according to this anecdotal evidence, it has the potential (if your dedicated enough) to form a suitable replacement.
