Placed my order for the new one yesterday and I was curious. I bought the old one for 35 bucks at a discount. They must have had surplus stock in 2016 lol.

    It was also much less appealing with the touchpads replacing a thumbstick and dpad, instead of being in addition to them.

      Every time people say they liked the original I’m amazed because it was so godawful for me. My friends and I made jokes about the steam controller lol. As if I’d want to give up actual buttons and a stick for thumb destroying touch pads smh. The second controller however is wonderful. They really do love the number 2 over there

        You can program the left trackpad/dpad on the original to input stick controls.

          Which is what i do, but it’s a physical improvement I’m wanting, not just the input.

          I like the SC2026 but I don’t prefer the track pads, I’m kind of in a nomans land between Controller preference now 😅
