[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 child) 250 USD ? In the US, like on Amazon or Best Buy, is that the normal price for an Elite + Tax? Holy shit. Now I understand why people are defending the SC2 pricing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 16 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yes, there are several premium controllers in the $200 range. People unhappy with the price are thinking of the SC as an expensive base model controller when feature-wise it's more like an inexpensive premium one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 months ago Feels more in between to me. Premium would have better buttons, adjustable polling rate, adjustable stick length, maybe trigger stops or swappable face plates, adjustable weights. It really does give base model controller vibes. Plus it costs a third of what I paid for a steam deck, and that controller came with a screen and a computer. Recent economic devastation notwithstanding it feels like it should offer more for the price to me. permalink fedilink source parent
