Now that the steam controller is dead I kind of wish someone took over that market and produced a controller for steam controller fans.

I loved the layout, the touchpads, the massive customizability, and it had a good price point too. It seemed like there was loads of room for improvement but there hasn't been talk of a controller 2 yet.

You can thank the patent trolls over at Immersion Corp spits in disgust for that.
I agree. I love the Steam Controller. It's not great for everything (e.g. Super Mario World kaizo romhacks have, IME, required a real D-pad instead of the trackpad) but it's really nice for a ton of games.
A controller that's basically the control layout of the Steam Deck would be amazing.
