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.

Agreed with all of this except for similarity to Deck (if the touchpads are squircles I will lose my mind), but my main concern is the shoulder buttons. Pressing shoulder buttons on the SC is literally manual labor and sounds like cracking a glow stick. Hopefully they'll be more like the Deck or any other modern gamepad.
