It's been announced that (Santa Cruz) will have Trackpads and no analog sticks. It's not final design yet.

please dont speak for all PC gamers.... (pet hate) you do NOT speak for me. I cant stand trackpads and have no problem at all with sticks until such a time we have full body/finger and any object intelligent tracking.

they are the main reason for me why i dislike wands and am confident i will still prefer touch over knuckles... and to me, the steampad is rubbish.
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

I hope not.  Those rings look awful in that position.  The current Touch controllers are PERFECT in every way. 
DON'T SCREW AROUND WITH PERFECTION!!!

This gamer hates trackpads.  The game I play the most would suffer from trackpads because the sticks work better.

What's with all these damn Necrothreads popping up all of a sudden?  Is there a newbie that's responding to old threads and bringing them back in the feed?

Yeah I was noticing that as well.  It's getting quite annoying.

You didn't mention why PC gamers hate analog sticks. Analog sticks aren't good at aiming. A track pad is more like a mouse so it's better for aiming. But in VR you aim by pointing your motion control. 

The analog stick is better for controlling a character walking and running. You can gradually increase from slow walk to fast running by moving the stick more forward. How do you do that with a track pad?

You can also turn continuously and at different speeds with an analog stick. A track pad offers very jerky swipe motion. How do you circle strafe smoothly?
