Steam Controller. What do you think of it?

i think it looks flat out badass! i also wonder how it will work with older games that already have xbox 360 support built into them. it looks like it could be fun with FPS games or even games like torchlight II or civ 5. i would love to pwn someone (that is iusing a ps4 controller) while using it if games ever go cross platform (mantle??). kb/m would be fun for that also but still love the ideas they have here.

what do you guys think of it? i love it!

First thought: This thing looks totally ridiculous.

Second: Not so bad actually, just way different than what I was expecting/am used to.

Third: What really matters is how it feels. If it's comfortable I'll probably buy one.

I like it a lot. Not a huge fan of thumbsticks though I have used them way too much.

Very very interested and hope they can sell them <$40. 

It looks really uncomfortable to me. The handles just seem too wide to be comfortable to hold. And the touchpads make me nervous.

The only thing that would have interested me for their 3rd announcement was a game that had a 3 in it.

Agreed.

Yes it looks crazy, but valve must have spent a considerable amount of time testing it, so it must work reasonably well. I would certainly like to try one. It's the first real change in the controller for decades.
