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

I'm pretty surprised nobody seems to like the Deck's touchpads. Yes they're a bit of a compromise, but I have been playing hundreds of hours using the right trackpad for camera control on my Deck and they're pretty great. Maybe my hands are weird.

For me, the Deck's trackpads are half way between my thumb knuckles with my hands in a comfortable position, so they're not nice to reach for, whereas everything's a comfortable distance away on the original Steam controller. I have big hands, so maybe you've got small hands?

On the Steam Controller I use the touchpads for

With all the swiping and clicking I do in combination with the back button usage the touchpad placement led to putting strain on my hands. I don't feel that discomfort with the joysticks, which feel comfortable in its placement and reachability of all the inputs around it.

And the 180 consistency I have hard time replicating with my natural swipe pattern despite adjusting the rotation in Steam Input, so I have to do corner to corner swipes due to Valve going with a square over a circle. The layout is one where I'm having to force my hand out of what would naturally feel comfortable.
