Blows my mind that none of these competing devices include touchpads. I swear half the games I play use the touchpads, whether it's FPS-style games or something like Rimworld or Gunpoint.

On the flip side, I've never used the touchpads in a game outside of Aperture Desk Job.

Same, I keep running my fingers over then to get the rumble I'm missing, but otherwise have not used them at all

I think what would be cool is if you’re able to remove the sticks (especially the right one) and replace them with the touchpads without any hassle. Like a modular unit. And if the stick drifts, then just get a new one and pluck it back in.
