Yeah, I’m not sure what was up with it yesterday, but I’ve spent some time this afternoon messing about with it and it’s kinda nice. That’s using Moonlight from my Mac too. The more I fiddle with it, the better I’ll figure out how to adjust it to my preferences.
Still doesn’t feel as good as kb+m, but for casual Powerwash Simulator 2 on my Macbook on the sofa, it’s pretty cool. And I guess that once I get used to it It’ll be much nicer.
If you’re using them on a docked Steam Deck, the new controller has a dedicated “…” menu button, so you don’t have to get off the couch whenever you need to mess with DeckyLoader
Serious talk, this new steam controller only exists because the old one didn’t have a D-Pad, sure, the new touch pads are nicer, but really we are all upgrading our old steam controllers to this one for the d-pad.

The only thing stopping me from buying the new Steam Controller is all of the original Steam Controllers I have that are all still working fine.
I dug out one of my OG Steam Controllers today. I basically got it free with a HEAVILY discounted Steam Link, so I’ve never really used it.
Turns out that right touch pad is ridiculously sensitive, to the point that it’s unusable. So I need to spend some time figuring it out.
Fortunately they came correct, and every aspect of every input is insanely adjustable.

But that D-PAD,
Serious talk, this new steam controller only exists because the old one didn’t have a D-Pad, sure, the new touch pads are nicer, but really we are all upgrading our old steam controllers to this one for the d-pad.
The left touchpad acts as a D pad on the original, you can just use touch or press till it clicks. Still might be nice to have a better one though.
Oh we know, and it didn’t work well…
