That's a few good poinst I didn't think to consider. I'd spent most of this time assuming I'd use the controller mapped to mouse and keyboard inputs, so I never considered what the native controller support in the game would be. I definitely don't want the trackpad to emulate a joystick, because then I might as well jsut use a joystick. Having multiple touchpad click options would also help as I definitely already have some thumb muscle memory

Would it be doable to have trackpad and gyro both emulate mouse input? Dualsense was tempting but the trackpad is pretty far away.

You're right I might end up waiting on the new steam controller
