A Valve engineer fixed 3D lighting so hard he had to tell all the graphics card manufacturers their math was wrong, and the reaction was: 'I hate you'

        Only because SCUF (and by extension their owners Corsair) are patent trolls and forced Valve to discontinue the Steam Controller due to the existence of back buttons. Valve eventually won the appeals but by then the SC was already out of production

        It lives on in spirit in the Steamdeck and the HTC Vive wands.

        It looks like a Madkatz controller, you’re right, but it has some really cool features. The D-Pad and the right stick are replaced by two clickable touch surfaces, as to allow you a different type of control than just using two sticks. It also has an accelerometer and horoscope, which is also a nice thing to have when you want to aim in games almost as precisely as with a mouse. On top of that, there are also two extra buttons on the rear of the controller.
