$60, has capacitive joysticks, gyro, steam menu buttons, and 4 extra buttons. Fully supported in Steam Input.

However, no track pads or vibration.

$60 is a lot for two extra buttons and no vibration. Gyro is nice, if it actually works with games though.

I feel like they missed an opportunity by not replacing the d-pad with a track pad.

I think it has 4 extra buttons, in addition to the back buttons there are two extra buttons under the dpad and right thumb stick.

Those are the back pedals.
It has two extra Menu buttons. Not the most exciting thing in controller design.

Paddles on the back have been around for awhile.
