Steam Controller review: Valve’s new controller is a near-perfect PC gamepad

It was 10 years ago when a coworker placed a Steam Controller in my hands. I had no idea what I was holding. It was a foreign object to me, tossing decades of conventional wisdom to the curb in favor of two bizarre trackpads. I wrote it off immediately after struggling to manage Doom’s radial weapon menu and laughed it off as another one of Valve’s kooky ideas. Why reinvent the wheel?
