It seems like it has some exciting potential for Dolphin if it really is as "hackable" or "moddable" as it says.

It has a touch screen in the center, which could potentially be used to simulate a Wii Remote pointing at the screen, with a "click" emulating a B press. It even (apparently) has some kind of built-in speaker. "It is a higher-bandwidth haptic information channel than exists in any other consumer product that we know of. As a parlour trick they can even play audio waveforms and function as speakers." No idea what that means exactly, it's possible they're terrible speakers, and I know Dolphin has had trouble with the Wiimote speaker, but the haptics sound nice!

It's an exciting new controller that could free us from the tyranny of the 360 controller's nightmare setup. Or it could flop due to the lack of a joystick. WHO KNOWS?? But I'm excited for its potential. Anyone else??

Like the Steam controller? I've only seen cautious optimism or pessimism. And a lot of disappointment that the announcement wasn't a game.

It's hard to pass any judgement considering how early the news is; and the only real way to rate a controller is when it is in your hands. But I would hope most people are intrigued by it. I

Hate it. Trackpads I can take with some cautious optimism, but the button layout is freaking horrible. It is definitely limited in what it can do.
