I still have my Steam Controller but I was itching for better Gyro after playing with Steam Deck so I picked up PS5 controller for PC after doing some research.

I like the PS5 one quite a lot, it does have nice upgrades over the Steam Controller like the adaptive triggers which work only in some games though and the haptics are sooo much better... But the battery life is a complete joke, it's really annoying.

With SC I've just chucked in two AA batteries and was set for 3 months+ with PS5 controller I can barely get 10h with haptics and got around 15h without haptics.... And it takes ages to charge too...

The only appeal of this new controller is the touch stick for gyro but other than that this seems quite lackluster imo.
