Oh man, your "least favorite" #1 makes it a total no-go for me. "My hands don't really like the matte finish of the deck." My whole body was repulsed by the feel of the touchpad surfaces of the Steam Controller. Like I got physically ill putting my fingers across them. However good Valve might make their devices, they are absolutely shit at picking surface textures.
Just to clarify: For me its nowhere near as bad. Its not that i get repulsed at the feel of the device but rather that if i play for a longer time my hands get sweaty and oily (BTW this dosen't happen with other controlers.)
You can just buy a case or skin if the feeling bothers you. There are also touchpad covers available. It is a different material than the steam controller touchpads though.
