minus-squareAppleTea@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·11 hours ago i think the Steam Controller (2015) incorporated the track pads and had a good aesthetic. Really, all it needed was a real d-pad.
minus-squareJoelk111@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·10 hours agoI disagree, I’ve always thought it was pretty ugly. Too bulbous looking. The new one looks like a “normal” controller, but oversized to accommodate the track pads. Still not a looker, but at least it isn’t so bulbous. Also, glossy plastic can smd.
minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 hours agoThat old thing had just one analogue stick, and like you said, no D-Pad. The new steam controller has the same layout as the Deck, sacrificing no button or input options.
