It depends on the game. But mouse + keyboard > controller.
I'm just trying to imagine what games I own that a controller would be good for.
Good defined as I would rather use a controller than mouse + keyboard.
Dota 2 - lol nope
Counter-Strike: Source - maybe
Terraria - nope
Super Meat Boy - NOPE
Prison Architect - nope
Arma / DayZ - nope
SimCity / Cities XL - nope
Team Fortress 2 - lolnope
Antichamber - yes
Bastion - probably
Braid - maybe
The Walking Dead - yes (could play that with just about anything)
Chivalry- Modern Warfare: yes
Metro Series - yes
And obviously any xbox / ps3 game on pc - yes
Most of the games that I normally play wouldn't work with it, so for me, it wouldn't be worth it.
Plus, mouse precision > controller precision.
One of the biggest features showcased in the video are how much more precise you can be with the Steam controller than you would be with other controllers.
I'm pretty sure Valve took precision into account when they decided to start funding development for this, and that they're aiming for it to be useful enough to rival the mouse and keyboard.
They may be hat-happy, but they're not stupid.

First, I thought you were Void, confused the heck out ofme.Why not Prison Architect?
I'm still iffy on this on FPS games. I have trouble believing a controller will be better than mouse & keyboard. But for just about any game I'd use a controller, I like the look of this one. Maybe these blatant console ports wont be such kicks in the balls.
hah! Little plebs with their consoles thinking they are going to be UGC Platinum material because they play Battlefield and Call of Duty.At least we'll have a lot more cannon food on TF2 when new players join with a Steam Machine!
