I hope they improve on the following

  • The touchpads and paddle "clicks" are way too noisy
  • An actual D-pad
  • ABXY buttons less mushier
  • USB-C port for charging
  • Similar to Steam Deck layout
  • A place to store the USB dongle inside the controller when not in use
  • Better rumble

I switched to an 8bitdo controller with hall effect joysticks since, but I do miss the touchpad's precision for FPS.

  • Native support for games - have it use the Xbox or PlayStation profile
  • Don't require that abysmal Big Picture mode for remapping, custom layouts, etc.

Onboard remapping profiles would be nice, I use them on my 8bitdo controller and I can toggle them on-the-fly.

I personally remap the paddles mostly, but still.
