Seems like they should have made a modular controller, where you could pop out and arrange the segments on the face however you liked. Thrown an extra analog segment in the box if you wanted to just play with a normal console-style controller. I had an old PS2 controller you could do that with. You could pop the analogs out and arrange them Xbox style, put the D-pad and face buttons wherever you wanted, etc. It was a piece of shit build-wise, but I really liked the general idea of it, and Valve could have surely pulled something like that off.
