Why the Steam Controller is (and isn’t) a big deal

A new Steam Controller model has been released with features not found elsewhere, including customizable control schemes and onscreen menus. It has drift-resistant joysticks, improved ergonomics, and touch-sensitive sensors that can be mapped to any input. The controller is also user-repairable and has long battery life, with a build quality better than its predecessor. It will be available for purchase for $99.
