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

The Steam Deck's controller is usable without Steam running, except for that long, looong pause when Steam has taken over the controller but isn't doing anything about it yet.

I wish that Steam would not put the mouse buttons on the triggers, just leave them on the trackpad-click. And put "high res trackpad scrolling" on the left pad. But you can't have everything.

As you wrote yourself, the controller acts as a mouse, not as a regular Xbox controller.
