A very reassuring read, honestly. If Refenes is saying this, then the controller should do fine with a little more tweaking. Considering Valve's full support on modding the controller, I wonder if they're planning on making the track pads modular to a degree. Refenes mentioned briefly in the article that during his testing, he suggested to the engineer that adding tactile nubs to the pads would go a long way in helping players know exactly where buttons are located. Valve had already discussed the idea previously as well. The idea of modular pads would make this controller extremely enticing for players. It would be awesome if they shipped these with two sets of pads; a pair without the nubs, and a pair with them.
