I'm very excited about this controller for a few reasons. One is that it is coming from a major player in games that has no legacy controller to iterate on; therefore Valve was able to venture to a new type of design.

I also like it for the fact I can play older games with a pad no problem or games with no controller support. I know I could play system shock 2 with m/kb but I would much rather use some type of controller. It is just more "fun" and engaging for me. I think there are other people like me who like to game on PC but prefer having a controller since it is what we grew up on.
