I really enjoyed bioshock infinite and fallout 4 with my steam controller. I also like the track pads to move in beat'um ups. I bind the paddles on the back to crouch and jump in almost every game, they feel natural to use and have a tactile click. There is also a gyro in the controller, you can aim with it in a 1:1 ratio with the screen, or drive a car using the controller as a wheel. You have to adjust setting to find what is right for you, but for most games there are at least 5+ community bindings that one will fit your play style. Every bit of the controller is tweakable, with decent instructions on how each individual setting works.

Where I find it really strives is a living room controller, I stream most of the time to my TV. If I'm cooking and watching a recipe on youtube, it's so handy if I need to rewind or jump around. The track pads feels good and behave just as a trackball would, and I was able to navigate the windows 7 within minutes of the desktop mode. All your basic controls can be bound to the 15+ binds and an option to bring up a keyboard. The keyboard is clunky at first, but I find it more difficult to type using a standard xbox 360 controller and becomes quick after typing a few sentences.

I wish the controller was a little heavier and a better feeling of quality. The buttons are too small and not in a spot that I'm used to with my xbox 360 controller, but the paddles make up for odd button p[lacement.

I am very happy with my purchase. The steam link is also worth the money, it's easy to set up, stream quality is decent, I use an Ethernet connection.
