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.
-
I'd base all expectations on Steam Deck not Controller v1. You can already see the lessons learned in the deck.
-
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.

-
- Native support for games - have it use the Xbox or PlayStation profile
- Don't require that abysmal Big Picture mode for remapping, custom layouts, etc.
-
Onboard remapping profiles would be nice, I use them on my 8bitdo controller and I can toggle them on-the-fly.
I personally remap the paddles mostly, but still.
-
The only reason I stopped using mine was because the membrane that makes the ABXY feel mushy eventually went and I couldn't find a suitable replacement.
If they put in some sort of mechanical switches there so that this couldn't happen, I would probably never use anything else.
-
Yes to all this. I picked up my original Steam Controller the other day and forgot just how crazy loud that thing is.
-
Why were you using haptic vibrations on touchpads? I switched them off the moment I discovered I can, they are really annoying
-
It feels like it's missing something without rumble..
