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 We’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 time…

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 @thelinuxEXP I’m just happy there even are symmetrical sticks. There’s the Deck, some Ayn devices and maybe 1 Chinese telescope controller for your phone who do this over the Xbox style layout.
@Semmelstulle @gamingonlinux Yeah, my line of thought is « : if almost no one does it, it’s likely because it’s harder to do it well :)
