    Steamframes the one I'm most interested in. I missed out on the pandemic VR chat phenomenon, kinda hope the release re-ignites a little interest in that with folks.

    Originally, they said it would be less than $1,000

    It only has 16GiB of LPDDR5 RAM, which is somewhere around $250 at currently inflated prices direct to consumers

    So I'd think they'll manage to keep it under $1,250

    Nice. I've been using an 8bitdo, but kinda struggled with my hybrid PC w/ Tv all the way over by the couch setup. A steam controller might be a little less wonky than using KDE connect on my phone

    I'll be trying, but there's a 99% chance it's not available in my country 😭

    It was the same for the original Steam controller, and the Deck on launch... Even the Index is still pretty hard to obtain.

    Yeah Valve doesn't ship to NZ. I have a Steam Controller 1 and have previously had an Index as well, but I had to freight forward to get them, and I seem to recall needing some trickery of changing the Steam account to another region to get it to work.

    Steam's webshop servers are going to fucking explode.

    $100 is fairly steep, but I'll shell out a bit extra for quality. My Xbox controllers have lasted me years, but at least one of the recurring problems I've seen with them after so much use could be remedied by the better tech in the sticks in these things.

    At ~1 hour after the post I'm unable to add to my wish list from my Steam mobile app, indicates "Reservation Servers are busy, please try again" without response.

    I really wish they had either made it modular or made a variation that had Xbox style stick layout, I find the dualshock layout with the side-by-side joysticks uncomfortable, would've been the endgame controller.

    It's crazy, I haven't bought a console in a while, so I've actually never spent more than $50 on a single controller. That said, I already think I'm going to buy this.

    I was really impressed when I used a steam controller at pax years ago, but didn't end up pulling the trigger, my usb Xbox controller was good enough. But that controller has some significant stick drift now, and I have had situations where I really wished it was wireless.

    Honestly, I just have a good feeling about this device. I don't know if it'll be as reliable as items like my Logitech mouse for instance, but I'm hoping it lives up to that.

    This controller looks quite neat. The part I don’t like is, unless I’m mistaken, it requires steam and won’t work on its own.
