#2Love it already. Just look at those face buttons.

#3The key to this is the haptic feedback technology that makes it more than two weird touch surfaces. Sounds awesome.
Re: Steam Controller
#4I'm skeptical that the trackpads will provide the same precision feel that a good analog stick can do, even with the haptics.
But I'm not going to count it out. I'll reserve all judgement until I get to try it. And that's the only real sticking point for me on this announcement; everything else about this controller I love.

The one thing that frustrates me with the 360 joysticks is positioning my thumb not at an extreme but not at neutral either. This option seems like it will eliminate that entirely.
For that alone I'm very interested, obviously also the fact that they're trying to make things quite open.

Laptops all moved from nipples to trackpads a long time ago, surely if analog sticks could provide higher resolution then that wouldn't have happened, or there would have been a move back?

#7I need to use it to have a better opinion but the lack of joysticks is not looking good to me.

#8Ay dios mio, this is going to rock!
Heck, as someone who doesn't own a console, this might finally get me to play games on my TV.

#9I don't know, this controller doesn't look like very comfortable for platforming/fighting/action games.

I'd have agreed with you once, but I broke the trackpad on a ThinkPad a couple of years ago and out of apathy i switched to the nipple mouse and I haven't looked back. It takes more practice but it has excellent precision and infinite movement. The trackpad remains broken and unplugged.
