I’m curious whether it will be easy to replace the sticks yourself. That could make or break it for me. Based on Valve’s stance on the Deck I’d assume so but I’m interested to see.
I still have the old one, and it's as horrible as everyone said. I'll be curious how the new one is. The control layout works well on the steamdeck, but xbox elite or 8bitdo is so good everywhere else. It's going to be difficult to compete. But Valve could be the ones to do it.
I would love this. The SteamDeck is lacking a controller that matches all the features of the main unit. If it also has gyro, TMR (or even Hall-Effect) thumbsticks, and 2+ back buttons, it would be an instant pre-order for me

That would be interesting. Also hoping these sticks are Hall Effect, and not standard, so we don't all have to talk about drift a year later.
Not sure it will beat the 8bit
Price point!
Yeah, this is an important point. Gonna say we are in the 60 top 80 bucks range US.
I actually liked the old one. It was clearly a first product, but it felt pretty good and the trackpads were great.
Yeah, I liked what they were attempting. Seems crazy to have a ten year gap on trying a 2.0. finally.

It's a good point. Ten years ago it was a bit different, now there is a LOAD of great controller competition out there.

Yep! Hall-Effect is a massive win if they choose to do it. Wish the Deck did. Though I am not having any drift per say but I always think about it.
