Oh man, I still use my Steam Controller a lot, their scheme with "Big Picture/SteamOS" is pretty fantastic, I love the little two touchpads that turn into a keyboard, it's very intuitive. I still use Steam Link hooked up to my TV, and it runs great with ethernet connection. There are some apps and games I prefer to run on the TV.

you can even stream emulators through to your TV, so you can play wiiU games and stuff on your TV with an xbox controller or what have you. I really also enjoy just being able to easily surf my computer or browser from my TV. Steam Link is fantastic.

When I ditched cable I just built a half-badass PC that runs in the living room 100% as an HTPC and dedicated gaming rig so I do all my PC gaming as a couch gamer. I really wanted to like the steam controller, I forced myself to use it for a couple weeks but I just couldn't get a feel for it - the controller is too bulky, the track pad always frustrated me and reminded me I'd rather have a right analogue stick... I seemed to spend more time dinking around with the controller settings than I did actually gaming.

Only death will take my 360 controller from me!

Oh I only use the steam controller for certain games, like an RPG but I have to re-learn it almost every time. It's certainly not the ideal "gaming" experience. But I prefer to use the steam controller in desktop mode when it's being streamed to my TV. It's super useful as I dont have a wireless keyboard and mouse, and at that point I dont want a kb+m on my couch also.
