Best game ever!

I've been using this controller for year - year and a half. At first I wanted X-box One one as it is kinda benchmark in gamepads.
After all the time with the Steam Controller I still think the X-box one is better as classic gamepad - even the best. But if you wish something better, something from "new generation of controllers" - this is it.
The Steam Controller ROCKS!!!
The plastic looks cheap on photos but actually it is pretty good build quality and feels nice to the touch. Buttons, sticks, pads - everything is great.
As for usability the pads are reaaaaaaaaaaly great. Having additional buttons, gyro, feedback on the pads, force feedback so on... Well it has everything that you need imo and it is more then the best "classic" controllers.
You can customize everything which is kinda neat. I do not like to create new profiles but there are a lot of public ones that are shared and a quick tweak helps sometimes. In general I thought I would have to spend a lot of time customizing and setting it, but in reality I haven't wasted almost any time there - load public profile, test it, use it. But you have the freedom to change/create/tweak as you want and suits you!
As profiles there are great functions. For example simluating pressing a key (e.g. if the game does not support joystick you can set the stick (for example) to simulate fast pressing of the key you need. Such example is Scrap Mechanic or old games), changing sensitivity when you zoom (of any other action), switching gyro only when you zoom (or any other action), etc, etc, etc... Just great!

I have so much to say about that but overall here is my scoring:
- Expectations: 5.5/10
- Reality: 10/10
