@fireflyzero touch pad instead of a d-pad..?

That sounds honestly awful.. Steam tried it and abandoned it. Trying to play any mobile game that uses an on-screen "d-pad" is miserable. If you want precision control it's a decent thumb-stick or, at a pinch, circle-pad you need.

@wiredfire

It's a circle pad, yes (Cirque Glidepoint). On each demo, I take 2 people, give one Xbox controller and the other Steam Controller. People prefer touchpad but it takes a minute to get used to. It's not on-screen and more tacktile that a touch screen.

The failure of Steam Controller is that it, from software perspective, mimics xbox controller. If there were games designed specifically for the controller, the experience would be different.

@fireflyzero I was meaning the circle pad as in the 3DS but a round touch-pad is intriguing!

I'll eat humble pie on this one and watch on with interest! Thank you for the insightful reply, I appreciate it ☺️
