I'm pretty sure that Valve could have made a standard controller if they wanted to. So yeah, watch some tutorials and be experimental. I watched some reviews of it and people didn't even know what some of the buttons did, for example, adjust mouse sensitivity, which was the cause of some of the few complaints. Personally, for first-person shooters, I enjoy using the Hori TAC Pro G1, the one that a half PS4 controller and half mouse. Then you will enjoy the Steam controller.

Watch an in-depth review, search for the right games to play with it and keep an open mind. You need to invest a little more time in it and find the right games. Some guy makes a video review of the controller after playing with it for five minutes and gives it 1 star. For example, the XE-1AP works well and it's excellent for playing After Burner or such shooters, but you won't be able to play Sonic comfortably, or at all with it. Well, like a lot of the aforementioned controllers, it works well for what is designed to, not to replace everything. The Steam controller gets a bad rap for being convoluted and complicated to set up, or not working well with all games. I'm a controller collector who has a massive and diverse collection of regular and sometimes downright weird controllers, like the Sidewinder Dual Strike, the ASCII Sphere, the Micomsoft XE-1AP, just to name a few. Works well when used in the right context
