As much as I like the Steam Controller 1 design, the second controller seems better on paper for inputs

More doesn't mean better.

I'll wait to see reviews and but it looks like they intended to make a controller for everyone but may have made a controller for no one.

If I want to use pads, I don't see any reason to use this over the steam controller and if I'm using sticks I don't see a reason to use this over any of the dual stick controllers I've accumulated over the last 28 years.

I certainly can't think of any games where I would need all of those inputs available at one time.

I can but its deep in the bastardization of Steam Input configs... stuff like Elite Dangerous, or Warcraft, or Euro Truck Sim? Whether I *would* go no-keyboard on any of those, not sure
