To me this looks like Steam were trying too hard to be groundbreaking, and didn't take into account people's muscle memory. I mean the traditional game controller has been around 20 years, buttons on the right, directionals on the left, to try and change it seems pointless.

How the heck do you hold that thing?

With hulk sized hands I'm guessing

looks more like a set of ipod speakers

This is a Valve product though, they wouldn't release it unless they knew it worked. They've been trying to perfect this for 4 years, and I'm really excited to try it.

You got to remember though that PC gaming is different to console gaming. A controller with trackpads instead of buttons make more sense as it's a closer experience to using a mouse.

Only thing I'm surprised about is the lack of "Biometrics" in the controller, they were really into those a while back.
