It's not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

I remember seeing the Steam Deck and thinking "the button placement is really weird, none of this looks comfortable". Then when I took it in my hands for the first time, everything made sense.

It mostly does.

As someone with big hands, I can't use the touchpads comfortably without scooting my grip downwards in a way that makes it precarious and less than comfortable.

I have a similar problem with the Index controllers. My thumb is too long to comfortably rest on any of the controls if I grip the grip where you're supposed to to be able to strap your hand in.

Good economics is supposed to work for everyone, and I've yet to try a valve hardware product that fully pulls it off. Maybe the first controller did, but I haven't tried that one.
