It’s not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

    God dammit, why will nobody bring back 6 button pads? I’m so sick and tired of having to buy a separate controller just for fighting games. This controller would be absolutely perfect if it just had two more buttons…

      Not the same thing, but the steam input allows you to make virtual buttons and assign them to the area of a touchpad.

        Well that’s better than nothing so I’ll take it.

        I’m just glad that Valve is bringing back the Steam controller. So sick and tired of boring, uninnovative Xbox and Playstation controllers. I like the idea of toggle switches under the controller that aren’t just remaps of existing buttons, and actually usable touchpads. I hope the left stick and D-pad are hot-swappable in the final version, but beggars can’t be choosers.

      Doesn’t everybody play fighting games on “a piece of plywood with a bunch of arcade buttons jammed into it”?

      Oh, and the backside buttons on the deck are pretty convenient. You might end up liking them more than having “more face buttons than your thumb can reach”.
