It's not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

Give us the circle pads back! Just keep making the steam controller actually, with another back paddle, hall effect stick... Damn squares.

Honestly not having a dpad and second thumbstick is a deal breaker for me on the original steam controller, it means that most games with built in controller support don't work well without switching to a custom or community layout. I think having a "normal" controller layout + trackpads/etc is necessary for the controller to succeed.

Additionally, having this layout means it will match the Steam Deck, which should make all control profiles interchangable.

Square pads are where it's at until you start playing on a round TV screen. Besides, it's way easier to set up hockey buttons in a square Touch Pad than a round one.

I was going to say that if you wanted one they're cheap on eBay, but after checking, they're $50+
