I hope they improve on the following

  • The touchpads and paddle "clicks" are way too noisy
  • An actual D-pad
  • ABXY buttons less mushier
  • USB-C port for charging
  • Similar to Steam Deck layout
  • A place to store the USB dongle inside the controller when not in use
  • Better rumble

I switched to an 8bitdo controller with hall effect joysticks since, but I do miss the touchpad's precision for FPS.

Yes to all this. I picked up my original Steam Controller the other day and forgot just how crazy loud that thing is.

I'd base all expectations on Steam Deck not Controller v1. You can already see the lessons learned in the deck.

The clicky-ness of the touchpad, paddles, shoulder buttons etc. is one of the things if absolutely love about the OG Steam Controller

Their clickyness in themselves is good and responsive, it's just that it's too noisy to my taste.

Why were you using haptic vibrations on touchpads? I switched them off the moment I discovered I can, they are really annoying

It feels like it's missing something without rumble..

  • Native support for games - have it use the Xbox or PlayStation profile
  • Don't require that abysmal Big Picture mode for remapping, custom layouts, etc.

Onboard remapping profiles would be nice, I use them on my 8bitdo controller and I can toggle them on-the-fly.

I personally remap the paddles mostly, but still.
