Give me the Steam Deck layout sans screen and I'll buy several.
So fucking fed up being charged out the ass for a few extra buttons and/or shitty build quality.
I went through RMAing SIX god damn Xbox elite 2 controllers before just giving up and getting my CC agency involved to get my money back.
I just want a controller with back pedals and touchpads for mouse emulation. Is that so hard?
But with hall effect, and slightly more angled triggers for better ergonomics since it doesnt have to be flat. And.. and..
This 100%. Personally I'm happy with the build quality on my Elite 2, but I hate that it requires Windows 10+ to update the firmware. And it really needs a trackpad.
I’d be surprised if they weren’t making exactly that. It’d also give devs an easier way to test controlling with a deck without having to buy one
It’s wild to me that somehow the elite controllers are worst than their cheaper brothers. I’ve owned both series. Both sucked hard.
Not to defend Microsoft, but I haven't had any issues with my Elite 2 controller, and I've had it for a couple of years at least.
My grips started peeling after close to three years of heavy use. A tube of silicone glue fixed it right up.

This, they should include gyro too ideally if that doesn't go without saying
I never got into gyro controls. What are the pros for you?
For me personally, it's just a nice to have for games that require it. I remember pulling out my steam controller a few times when Breath of the Wild needed motion controls.
I find it works really well (as a combo with stick) for FPS games on the steamdeck, feels a bit closer to mouse & keyboard in precision
I really need to give this another try. Any games you've tested this with in which gyro aim works particularly well?
Nintendo's work is solid on the Switch. With all the gyro control, I got so used to it that whenever I'm using my Xbox controller on Steam I instinctively tilt the controller for control. Once you're used to stick for general direction and tilt for specifics it feels natural.
I've managed to use it as a steering wheel for the old NFS:MW
if it ends up being like the steam deck layout, they'll probably just fuse the touch screens into one larger one in the center of the controller, towards the bottom. At that point, it would probably just be pretty similar to the playstation controller, but with slightly more questionable ergonomics, or maybe a more usable touchscreen.
You're not seriously asking for that button arrangement right? The D-pad is so uncomfortable to use. I love my Steam Deck, but I accept the button arrangement as an acceptable cope.
