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

Looks about the same layout as the steam deck, and it's great on there. Dunno about the pads not being squared up, though. Dunno that I would like that, even if it would make the pads easier to reach, I still might rather have them squared up.

Or since they are right next to each other, it could be just one big touch surface.

The deck isn't great, it works for some people, and is still really good for the rest, but the touch pads are pretty awkward for a lot of us. If the new valve controllers ergonomics are equivalent to the deck, it won't be worth ditching the DS5 for me.
