New Steam Controller 2 and VR controller designs got leaked

Valve did a bit of a woops here, as they recently accidentally leaked the designs for what looks like their upcoming Steam Controller 2 and a new VR controller that is likely to come with the long leaked Deckard VR headset.

@gamingonlinux Weโ€™ll have to wait for the size and thickness, and the angle of the grips, but this will probably not work for me. Symmetrical sticks placed in the middle of the controller, with touchpads on the way where my fat hands will likely activate them all the timeโ€ฆ

Sounds like a recipe for thumb and wrist pain for me personally :/

@thelinuxEXP When you look at your hands though, your thumbs naturally rest where the sticks are, so it might not be as bad as you think
@gamingonlinux Dรฉpends on how inclined the grips are. They look kinda straight down to me, which means the wrists wonโ€™t be rotated in the right portion for the thumbs to lay naturally on the sticks, but weโ€™ll see!
Thereโ€™s also the issue that my thumbs often bump into one another with symmetrical sticks on a PS controller, because the sticks are too close

It does kind of remind me of the Dreamcast controller, which I did find to be a bit uncomfortable but worse was it being an awkward shape to hold well.
