Might be a hot take, but I loved the steam controller. I killed two of them just through constant use and abuse and I still wish I could get another.
Oh well, my steam deck is enough for now.
It is outstanding, the ergonomics are much more comfortable than Steam Deck, and the disc-shaped pads are roomier. I'd love to see a Frankenstein mod of Steam Deck that adds Steam Controller grips to it. But honestly, I think the sheer length and weight of the thing is a limiting factor in terms of comfortability.
I found the deck to be comfortable enough for my purposes. That being said a steam controller grip would be great.
I mainly got it to develop against it, so it seems like it shines when docked. I have mild RSI, and I found it a bit cumbersome to play with handheld for longer than twenty minutes or so. It seems like there isn't an ideal posture/grip combination that feels natural. You have to hold it up and away from your body, and in so doing, it becomes heavy. Or you cradle it and then you have to crane your neck downwards. It's just a series of trade-offs coming from the unorthodox formfactor. I've seen this issue raised from time to time, but I concede that it's a minority problem.
They were a great design but, like you say, you killed two of them... they just didn't have the robustness or QA. But, to do that right, they would have been more expensive, and they were already fairly pricey. Personally, I hope they re-release them, or something like them, sometime down the road, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
