Placed my order for the new one yesterday and I was curious. I bought the old one for 35 bucks at a discount. They must have had surplus stock in 2016 lol.

It was also much less appealing with the touchpads replacing a thumbstick and dpad, instead of being in addition to them.

    Every time people say they liked the original I’m amazed because it was so godawful for me. My friends and I made jokes about the steam controller lol. As if I’d want to give up actual buttons and a stick for thumb destroying touch pads smh. The second controller however is wonderful. They really do love the number 2 over there

    I wish they made a dual trackpad version with a dpad instead of the left stick

    You can program the left trackpad/dpad on the original to input stick controls.
