Well, the question will certainly be exactly how many people do care about playing a PC game with a controller that was not ment to be played with a controller... Specially RTS games and other games. Its not even about being ultra-competitive since many non-competitive people play sc2... I don't even think games like command and conquer would work that well with a controller once you are versing someone online who uses a keyboard/mouse.

And yes, you could say that about the whole "no PC game without controller support is meant etc" but there are many games that are designed around mouse and keyboard for a reason and there are plenty of hotkeys and button combinations that are avaliable to keyboard users that you can't do with a controller because there just aren't enough buttons on the controller. If you really want to do it just for casual play, then sure but I doubt that will justify the purchase for most people if they already have a xbox controller which I am sure many do. We will see how well it sells but for me, I am not very interested cause I never really have the need to play games like sc2 with a controller cause even at the lower leagues and online arcade matches, I would probably lose

Like I said I do not think that there are many people who are interested in the Steam Controller who care about being ultra competitive. Steam Controller will in no way replace the K/M but it is an option for a lot of people who do not care for gaming on a K/M which is why virtually every serious gamer I know plays on a console. I am the only one who really deals with PC games at all over this issue, I can probably get them into PC gaming some if there is a controller that works reasonably well for most PC games
