Yeah I said xbox beacause whatever, but I'm just worried that Valve, while they are usually consumer-friendly never added a standalone gamepad mode to the controller directly and it is always reliant on Steam (and so you need to do tricks like using GlosSI[0] to use it outside).
And at the same time, if you just plug in your controller while holding the right trigger, it acts as a usb drive where you can just replace (and grab it's original) firmware, so there have been some efforts.
I at least want that from the new one, at the very least.
My understanding is that GlosSI isn't actually required for using Steam Controller, but what it does is add SteamInput, aka the whole complex rebinding layer that also handles things like custom multi-level menus etc. to games that expect X360 controller and do not cooperate with steam.
I might be wrong, but it sounds like it's handling a different area
