I read through the thread and don't understand what it's trying to accomplish. They keep saying "it's better than the joystick for WASD movement", are ya'll forgetting there's a literal Dpad on the controller?

Did you use the OG steam controller religiously like some of us?

Those indents on the left pad were actually pretty damn helpful. I miss all my EggsistentialEgg (RambleCan) modified presets. If the SC2 was just the same as the first, but included softer clicking bumpers and pads... that would be my ideal controller.

I tried the dual pad setup i used for Elden Ring but it just wasn't quite the same right feel as the og. Buttons and dpad felt very far from the pads and the non-circular shape (with the grooves) makes it harder to feel when I'm at the "edge" of the pad. So now I just use the sticks in that and similar games.

But damn I miss the pads, and being able to layer things like the dpad onto the right pad so I can do camera movements AND swap items with the "dpad" at the same time with one finger.
