minus-squareAppleTea@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 hours ago i think the Steam Controller (2015) incorporated the track pads and had a good aesthetic. Really, all it needed was a real d-pad.
minus-squareJoelk111@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 hours agoI disagree, I’ve always thought it was pretty ugly. Too bulbous looking. The new one looks like a “normal” controller, but oversized to accommodate the track pads. Still not a looker, but at least it isn’t so bulbous. Also, glossy plastic can smd.
