If you are accustomed to standard gaming devices, then this “gatepad” may seem quite strange at first glance. Judging by the description of Polygon, on it you will find two tracks (one right and left), which are also part -time buttons, triggers, two bumpers and still on the back button on both sides of the gamepad. That is, in addition to the front four buttons, two tracks and an analog stick, the Steam controller has six more buttons from the reverse side.
Moreover, Polygon believes that all these decisions gain meaning, as soon as you take the device in your hands. In addition, for the sake of emulating a mouse with a keyboard, it is capable of some tricks. For example, the right tracking can be used as trackball. And you supposedly really feel a rolling ball under your finger!
And if you do not like the existing configuration of the controller, then Valve guarantees that the user is free at any time to independently reconfigure the functions of the buttons and their tactile recoil. Or, let’s say, just go to Steam and download your favorite scheme that some other gamer shared.

The best comments
I study at the institute (good), the school day ends late, I don’t communicate with my friends from school, classmates go home after studying (they live far, some very far) I don’t have the opportunity to walk with them, I calmly go to the cinema that are interesting to me (if I succeed with my relatives or friends), I spend time with relatives/familiar with relatives/familiar, travels. I spend my free time not only at the computer, I already mentioned that I had played playing time for a very large "life gap". Well, on the basis of what you made conclusions above, if absolutely nothing about me. I note that I wrote “1000+ hours” not in order to pound, but only hinting at good awareness in the question posed above, indignant why everyone around me sculpts the minuses and at the same time they are not trying to convince me. And I don’t understand why to criticize a person’s preferences in games, even if there are many shortcomings in them.
Now this will seem strange to the joutcoo, but for me, strategies, in childhood, were associated with gamepads and consoles. To be more precise, in childhood he played Dune, Command and Conquer, Warcraft2, Kknd2 and something else. The same thing with quests, many hours spent behind Broken Sword1.2, Ark of Time and others. And all this is on the gamepad, and without sticking. And then it was a common thing and did not cause any questions at all. I will say even more, I was surprised when I found out (later. With the era comp.clubs and other things) that all these beloved, in childhood, the games were on Pek, and even with a more steep count and had continued. When someone says Red Alert, they often recall “Red Alert2” (on Puck), but I immediately recall “Command and Conquer Red Alert” and “Command and Conquer Red Alrt Retalation” (with PS1).
What meant. My brain does not freeze when I hear from someone that you can play on the gamepad in strategy. It is clear that it will be done more convenient and faster to do it on the clamp, but still.
Moreover, in childhood I only happened a couple of times from a couple of meters to see a mouse for PS1, but it was never possible to touch 🙂
Design, to put it mildly – strange. But oh well. The main thing is that the gamepad itself is convenient. Already pleased that with the designation of buttons they did not begin to wise.
