I use the steam controller. Nothing wrong with it in my mind (except maybe the fact that it uses batteries and is slightly too large).

I disagree. Because of swappable batteries my controller is still relevant 7 years and half worn down stick later.

If I were to complain, it's about unpleasant hollow sound on trackpads and L1/R1 button clicks.

Those are my two gripes too. They seemed to have fixed those issues on the deck though. If they ever do a v2 I'm sure those improvements will carry over.

Deck bumpers are still a long way from the best bumpers - xbox's.

You mean those delicate little things that snap off if you use it over 1000 presses?

The AA batteries last really, really long and you can get rechargeable ones. You swap them in a few seconds and can continue playing.

The ones that were included with the controller lasted me for several months before I had to swap them.

Yeah, they do last a long time.
