Never seen a steam controller so can't say, x05 is xbox controler shape/size though.
Decent game controller?

No further forward yet with my issue. They were very fast to reply when I asked for an order update (within 4h) but not yet heard from my email sent on the 10th*
In the meantime, I have managed to get different results by holding in that T button for different amounts of time.
I've actually managed to get lb to respond, however it does also flicker on and off when I'm not touching it and eventually stops responding or ghosting multiple inputs. Very odd.
New thing I've noticed. Pressing lb is making the RGB on the home button flash. However, a few more presses of this mysterious t-button and it stopped flashing, lb functions for a bit, but inevitably always ends up getting stuck on according to the GamePad tester.
Omg I think I've fixed it. Unfortunately though I have no idea how, but it's all been to do with messing around with the turbo button.
Broken again after changing RGB looool.
Considering how long it took to ship this out, I cannot believe they didn't test it before they sent it.
Okay, something I can now replicate it registers the button is being toggled if I just rest my finger on lb but don't actually press it down. This is clearly now a hardware fault.

R1 on my SMX05 now requires me to press it very hard to function. I'm noticing a pattern here with mrk recommendations and faulty hardware 
Good ol' PS5 controller still going strong though. Never had a controller issue until recently.
Took the SMX apart and fixed, for how long who knows. Had to adjust screws on circuit board so it was up more on one side.
PB situation looks like it will be going to a chargeback as they won't respond.

TMR is due to be superseded in January it seems! New tech with even lower latency, higher bit resolution, lower power draw.... More soon 
hey my X05 still working fine in the hands of my nephew, as is the Defender Strange that the same user having issues with 2 controllers though

The X05 was a tiny tolerance issue, the little prong on the button wasn't comfortably reaching the actual button on the circuit board, so I just loosened it and then like held it up on one side a bit and redid the screws and it was fine.
The PB issue is nothing I can fix I'd imagine and I don't want to try on a controller that costs that much. Shame as I really liked the ergonomics of it. Bloody sensitive sticks though.
You're right though it is actually strange because these are the first two controllers I've ever had an issue with lol. Interesting on the new tech though, though I do feel it is getting to the point where you'd only notice this stuff by using measuring apps and there won't be much of a tangible benefit, though if it costs no extra then why not.
