It really shows, because it's just a well thought out, no compromises device. I'm still crossing my fingers hoping that they're getting somewhere with the steam controller 2 prototypes that I'm sure they're playing with if only for shits and giggles

The first one didn't sell that well, so doubt it. Which is a shame, since it's the best controller I ever had. If they removed the buttons and put in a joystick (or removed the right Gaben nipple) it would've been perfect.

But so many people have decks now, it would make sense to market a dedicated controller for docked mode. At least that's what I'm desperately hoping for.

Imo I think the steam controller didn’t take off because it relied so hard on the touch pads (the touchpads also clicked, which I didn’t like). Now with the steam deck it adds two real joysticks, and pressure sensitive touchpads which are so much better. So if they were to make a steam controller 2 it should have two joysticks as well as two touchpads. Pretty much all they have to do is make the steam deck without the screen.
