Now that you've had a few months to use one and create and share custom profiles, see a few updates and patches... do you still like it? Dislike it? Would you buy again or wait for a hardware revision?
I don't have one but I have to comment anyway. It looks like the worst idea for a controller ever. No sticks means no tactile feedback. I'd love to hear people's opinions on it.
However, I did use it to scroll up and down the Steam Controller tutorial webpage I was reading and it gave kind of a vibration when scrolling, and made this weird "vibrating" sound. I'm at work right now so I can't try it again, but it kinda sounded like light grinding, a little bit? It just didn't sound normal and I really hope that can be tweaked or something, cause honestly it sounded cheap or broken. I really need to try it out again so I can determine if I wanna send it for a replacement.
Kinda what I was hoping. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out when I have time. :thumbsup:That clicking/grinding/vibrating/buzzing sound/feeling is the haptic feedback. I believe there's a "haptic intensity" setting or something similar in the controller configuration where you can adjust it or turn it off completely. Keep in mind that Big Picture and each game has it's own profile you'll have to do this in.
I have one and with my very limited experience with it, it seems pretty neat. I'm a kb/m player with just about any gametype, racing games excluded, but I can use a controller semi-comfortably in anything but FPSs. From my limited time playing around with it I could easily see someone who is primarily a controller user becoming extremely efficient with it should they ditch a traditional controller and use this exclusively. The haptic feedback is great and the controller does give a degree of control I don't think you could get with an analog stick. That being said, I look like a retard using it.

Either trackpad can be configured as a D pad. A better-than-normal D pad because all 8 directions can be customized to do anything, even if the game only supports 4 directions.One of the few reasons to use a gamepad on PC is for fighting games and 2d platformers, no D pad is a deal breaker.
