It's not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

It seems to me like the thumbsticks are in the same ergonomic location as on a Playstation controller, and the trackpads are just in the empty space that would otherwise be there. I’m fully into it even if this is what it looks like when complete

To me it looks like they've shoved the joysticks up where the trackpad is on playstation controllers. If they haven't, that's even worse.

There's nothing below the joysticks on the playstation controller, because that area isn't within comfortable reach for your thumbs.

Sure you can put stuff there, but bending your fingers there isn't fun. That's already true for some users when using the trackpads on the deck.
