Regardless of why it came into existence, it would be a better Steam Controller successor in every way except that it is ugly; Never say never dude... ๐Ÿ˜œ

I seriously doubt they would maintain the current Steam Controller profile, but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

I'd be perfectly happy if they did just refresh the original Steam Controller, but I doubt they will. I think it sold poorly enough to the point where the second iteration has to be a slam dunk -- and what better way to ensure that than to base it on the ever popular Steam Deck.

I would bet on the same hand grip bits and a similar set of back buttons. The touch pads will be revamped and it'll probably force the shape to change a lot.

I think the controllers sold relatively well though. Just not Steam Deck well. I know a good number of people who own at least one.
