The Steampad is... Well...
Of course, you will be able to use 3rd party controllers like the 360 pad on SteamOS, so this is more of an experiment for now. it could either be great or be awful. I bet it will be expensive since it is using untested tech, and a touchscreen and unique touchpads and haptic shenanigans will drive the price closer to a 100USD, I am betting.
So, to me, the Steampad is worth a test drive, and we will need on to decide anything on it. It could be a game changer? Yes, but also can be one of many controllers that tried to be different and failed. One thing for sure: it is a try before buy.

Ok, let's see... Well, I am Brazilian, speak both portuguese and english(none of them properly ;) ), have 32 (Yes I am old, shut up) and work at a cable manufacturer. My first videogame system was an Atari 2600 when I was 8yo, then the Sega Master System at 11, a PC, then all the Playstation Family(PS1, 2 and 3 and the PSP).
Nowadays my primary gaming platform is the PS3 and my favorite game is Battlefield Bad Company 2, so if will wanna play or get some help with a trophie, my PSN ID is Man_w_no_name. Feel free to ask me to add you as a friend. My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy VII and the worst I have ever saw is Danger Girl for PS1.
Aside gaming I love movies, books, anime and manga, Doctor Who and weirdness. So that is it. Hope to find good friends here at Destructoid.
