Since the Steam Controller is a fairly new product... customization options are limited, u know, cases and thumb grips.
I've been researching the options I have at home for the thumb grips
I'm happy to announce that the thumb grips I use on my other controllers (Xbox Series X/PS5) work quite well on the Steam Controller. I played with one on each side and neither fell off; they stayed firmly in place even during the most intense gaming sessions.
For those interested:
For the Xbox controller, I use the ones from the PlayVital store. (Purple one)
For the PS5 controller, I use the ones from the Geekshare store. (Light pink one)
Likely just less reliable, your finger is just disrupting an electric field the sensor makes, you don't actualy touch the sensor as it's very fragile, often capacitive touch sensor are behind/sandwiched in glass or plastic (the thinner the more accurate it can be).
You're right about that, it's still working quite well so far, I doubt it will cause problems in the long run; it's not a feature I generally pay much attention to.
Not reliable in durability terms, mean in terms of sensing the touch,, I probably should have said accuracy when i shortened my reply (trying to work on my run on sentences, not doing to well),,, it's definitely less accurate with them on but it might be the difference of 99.8% without and 99.5% with them on.

I wonder if that makes the thumb sensor not work for binds that support that
