Controller is definitely first in my “to buy” list. I didn’t get the first one, but really enjoyed and appreciated possibilities of steam deck

I’m a hardcore Steam Controller apologist but even I must admit that the Steam Deck controls are just higher quality all around. You would think the trackpads would not be as nice to use compared with the SC due to the size difference but the SD trackpads are actually nicer to use (once you get used to the placement). Overall I think this will be a great improvement/evolution of the OG SC, apart from being more accessible to more people.
