would you buy a steamcontroller?

No way. I'm happy with my 360 controller and if I had to replace it I would buy the Xbox ONE controller

If it's priced reasonably, I would definitely buy it. Looks really promising.
Though, of course, I'd like to check it out in action first.

Yes. 1000 times yes.

Sure

Absolutely. Depends on the price when i buy it but i will, for sure. I was never 100% happy with my Xbox 360 pad, alone the digi pad is awful...and after 1 year and 3 weeks my left stick didn't got back to the middle...Microsoft only replaces the pad within one year(asses!)...

Why i think the controller from Valve will be better as current gamepads? It will be much more precise as other pads...i played competitive games in leagues years ago and i prefer high sense mouses...to play a game with that normal sticks was not good, especially shooter and so on...that could change...because of the high sense mouses its hard to play on a TV. with that controller i could play some of that games on it...maybe...depends how good it is in the "real life"...if Valve brings what they say...but i think so...they only fucked us one time until now^^...

The other thing is the compatibility with all games. It just "emulates" the buttons and so on, that's great...

The only fear i have are racing games...i dont think that will work well, but we will see...when not it would be the right time to buy a wheel again :D....

It is price dependent.

Yes... While I'm definitely a mouse+keyboard gamer, I'm building a PC to hook up to my TV, and have been interested in using a controller... I've always loved trackpads over mice (for general computer use, not gaming) and hated joysticks, so I'm incredibly excited for it...

I like my 360 pad for many 3rd person games, but I'd be more than willing to buy a Steampad too if it is a sensible price (less than £25)

I'm just fine with mouse and keyboard. But for a console I might want to try it, assuming it works? I don't know much about those things.

Mouse + Keyboard + Logitech Controller = all I need

Probably yes, but I need to try it first (or at least read/watch some reviews before). I'm not sure that it will be comfortable in longer gameplay (more than 1.5 hour of continuous rubbing rubber-like material might be worse than using elements provided by current xbox/ps controller).

I dont know, since it has touchpads instead of sticks.
definately have to try one first but i can't think it can compete with the xbox360 pad, because touchpad controls sucks most of the time (think of playing a game on smartphones like here)

i simply can't aim properly withcontroller..so i sue it only for some games...space sims (but not with x3) , racing and some 3d smashing action like Darksiders et simila..

No, I have my Xbox 360 gamepad.

No, it's just have too small amount of buttons for me. Sometimes I have leak of keyboard. The gamepad is pretty unefficient for me.

Yep, the controller sounds way better than the 360 one.

Yes, because I'm getting lazy.

(and it would be nice to hold a controller again, for nostalgia's sake).

Would I? Yes.
Will I? No.

Nothing can beat mouse (+ keyboard).

Depends on the touchpad part, the price, and any dlls/software. I've been meaning to get a controller for ease of play with some games.

Sorry, but I simply don't believe they found the holy grail of gaming. To me it looks like a mediocre mixture of controller and keyboard/mouse controls. A real controller will still be (slightly) better for controller games and a real mouse/keyboard will still be (much) better for mouse/keyboard games. Unless you absolutely can't be bothered to switch controlling devices between games I think it's utterly pointless. Of course you never know, but it's not that hard to imagine how the controller works. It's a hybrid that may be interesting for pure console gamers who would use it instead of a regular controller (so they can at least play games that aren't suited for a controller, even though it may still not feel like keyboard/mouse), but I don't see any use for it in PC gaming.

It was clearly made for the whole 'big picture' thing they have going on so you can play keyboard/mouse games on your couch in your living room, a place where you simply can't use keyboard/mouse comfortably. Since I like to play games on my desk like most PC gamers probably do it's not interesting to me as I have better tools to get the 'job' done.

maybe after my f710 stops working :P

The steamcontroller looks nice to me, but I will be waiting to test one myself before buying if I like. I currently have a wired Xbox360 controller and I'm happy with it, my gaming PC is plugged to the TV and I also have wireless keyboard (with touchpad) + wireless mouse for some games. There is also a desktop PC with only wired keyboard/mouse, so I can always to what I want :)

I already have a 360 controller but if I need a new one this will probably be my choice. But depends on price too...
