I think the versatility that comes with a touch pad would be awesome. Imagine not having to configure buttons anymore?

For examle, you had a touch screen, touch pad, and whatever game you bought, came with button layout card which is inserted.

You insert a Mario card, and a regular button layout appears on the touch pad.
You insert a Street Fighter card, and a 6 button layout appears on the touch pad.
You insert an SNK card, and a 4 button layout appears on the touch pad.

The ability to change the button layout (not the config) on the fly with the touch screen/pad would be an interesting concept.

Yeah, that's what I was saying was amazing. Not the touchness, but ability for it to be customizable.

And, if developers wanted to be realy creative, they could package custom layout nibs with the games. That way if you are playing a RPG, you could have a lot of buttons for those neccessary hotkeys.

And this would practically eliminate the need to buy controller converters for fighting games, seeing as how right now the PS2 controller is the only good one for it.
