There is a lot of user customization possible with the steam controller though. e.g. This guy is trying out layering inertial control on top of the touchpad for aiming. Generally I do prefer using a mouse to aim instead of a controller for first person games, but I will try this out:

(disclaimer - I work at Valve but not on the steam controller so this technique was a surprise to me)

For all the innovations in the hardware, it was the software that really blew me away. The amount of customization available is staggering, along with the ability to share profiles online and see which ones are the most popular for a given game.

If any of the popular game consoles were to implement something similar for their own controllers, it would be considered a "killer feature".
