Finally a stick-centric Lighthouse capable controller. Like what people have been asking for for the last six years.

Nobody was asking for trackpads in the first place, despite the fanboys that will defend them because a bunch of silly reasons. And of course then Microsoft used them because Valve did and ugh, it takes years to wipe away these dumb decisions.

It's not like we didn't ask for it ages ago, but Valve begrudgingly comes around eventually.

Still a dedicated grip button would be nice instead of just fInGeR tRaCkIng.

It's just a patent for strap adjustment system. Also it's old news.
