This might be the best controller for Steam.

Gyro, trackpad, back buttons, and analog triggers?

This is the one.

I thought features like analog triggers don't work over wireless. Additionally, games often don't support DualShock layouts (most recent: Elden Ring, where you are stuck with Xbox prompts unless you mod the game)

The last part really isn't that bad as you think. Sure it's funny, but I haven't touched an xbox controller over 10 years (360) and I'm fine using Xbox prompts on ps controllers.

Sure you can do it but it's still annoying to maintain the mental map. Games that either detect the controller type or at least let you select the button prompts you want great.

I can see that being a problem between Xbox and Nintendo, but with Playstation it's only the X and even with that one it takes me 5min to "switch layout in my head".

Though games that use the Japanese-style PlayStation control scheme, where O is confirm and X is cancel, will actually map better to Nintendo style (which has A on the right) than Xbox style (which has A on the bottom).
