I personally like it a lot, but under extremely specific circumstances. It's a good way to control my PC from my bed since it can function as a wireless trackpad mouse, but when it comes to actual gaming I'd never use it in controller emulation mode, because it excels in mouse and keyboard emulation instead cause fuck using a trackpad like an analog stick, steam controller is not good at doing that.
If you set the gyro for fine tune aiming and the trackpad for wide turns in an FPS under mouse emulation for example while binding jump to one of the back triggers, bunnyhopping becomes easy because you're just rocking your controller back and forth while you jump, and it becomes way easier to track targets than with an analog stick since all you need to do is physically turn your controller to keep your crosshair on an enemy.
On top of that, this is good for older games that have ass controls that for whatever reason can't be fine tuned, like, for example, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. In that game I bind everything to control like it does on the nintendo 64 version, but use the back triggers for strafing. It makes the game very comfortable to play.
The problem is, having to configure this shit on a per game basis to suit your tastes is only for people as autistic as I am, I don't know what valve was thinking, this shit is niche as fuck. At least I can use some other autist's profile and make someone else do half the work for me while I fine tune it to my tastes, but this definitely does not have a "I just want to plug in my fucking controller and play some video games" aspect to it.
