A listing for an Industrial Designer position on the Valve Corporation Job Postings Page has a very interesting description that expresses Valve's frustration with the progress of hardware development and offers more on their plans to address this (thanks Computer and Video Games). Here's word: Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the PC and Mac are important to us, as they enable us and our partners to have a robust and direct relationship with customers. We’re frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space though, so we’re jumping in. Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven’t really changed in any meaningful way over the years. There’s a real void in the marketplace, and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked.

Dear Valve, some of us HATE gamepads. Keyboard and mouse are just fine with me. Nevertheless, I am interested in your ideas, as long as they're OPTIONAL and kb/m is still supported. Kthxbye, a loyal customer.
One of their initial drawings had a game pad where you could swap out various pieces to your liking (specifically a trackball attachment, I'm assuming for aiming). I'd be very curious how that turns out.
Not familiar with the site, but here are the images.

Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling... |
