The Steam Controller is different, and it has is quirks, but still, it’s the best game controller you can get right now if you are a PC gamer.
It is an amazing piece of hardware.
It’s a beast, currently held back by its software, waiting to be unleashed completely.
As said before, Valve is rather quick on the updates and with APIs being developed, and a standalone-driver already being available for Linux, just after a month after release, it can only get better.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Steam Controller develops through its lifespan.
Also it’ll be interesting to see what Valves statement way back from the announcement means, and if it comes true, and if it does, in which form.

"The Steam Controller was designed from the ground up to be hackable… We plan to make tools available that will enable users to participate in all aspects of the experience, from industrial design to electrical engineering."
