Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 150371, member: 73"] I never owned one, but me and a friend played a lot of Portal 2 co-op one summer, and I got pretty familiar with his. The slide d-pad things are incredibly dumb and awkward to use. I know for a fact that the person designing the controller had FPS games in mind, so why he thought "Hm, I know, I'll replace the analog stick... WITH A TRACKPAD!!!!!" is beyond my comprehension. Pointing and aiming feels clumsy and awkward, just like when you're using a poor-quality trackpad on a laptop. I also really didn't like how [I]every [/I]button on the controller was mapped to a different in-game action. Portal is one of the simplest first-person games ever conceived, but I was making my fingers into pretzels and sliding all over the place just trying to play the game normally. I also felt that the face buttons were really, really cramped – they're tucked away in some tight corner of the controller, away from where my thumbs are during gameplay. Am I not supposed to be using them? The Steam controller felt exactly like what it was: a console gamepad designed by a PC developer. [/QUOTE]
