I LOVE the steam controller, and the deck is essentially a steam controller with a computer+screen embedded into it. But the software for customizing the inputs are extremely sophisticated and deeply integrated into Steam. I don't think the deck would have been as good without the steam controller.

I also love the steam controller but honestly I think its biggest innovation was the community collaboration aspect of sourcing controller configurations. There is a lot less trouble in getting into a game initially if I can browse a ranked list of the best configs and seamlessly switch between them.
