A review of Valve's Steam Controller and the DarkWalker ShotPad (aka the IFYOO GTP01, or also the IINE Mouse-Pad Pro Controller). This breakdown/analysis/comparison examines their shape, button layout, comfort level, and functionality to determine which is the better trackpad controller for people who want to be able to game on a handheld controller, but who want to use mouse-like aiming instead of a typical thumb stick. There are assorted Pro's and Con's to each device which might make one better suited than the other depending on your needs and interests. Both options can include a gyroscope for gyroscopic aiming, in addition to the trackpad. This video shows gameplay footage of these controllers in action for Killing Floor, Stardew Valley, and Dragon's Dogma, plus a look at some of the Steam Input configurations for the Steam Controller.
