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.

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.
