I'll think about it. I have more than enough controllers, but the light actuation force of the face buttons on the Steam Deck is real good, much better than 8bitdo. So yeah, if it's the same I'll consider it.

Purchased.

[TintoConCasera]

Nope, don't need one. Good luck to all of you trying to get one!

 

[keefged4]

Ordered. Manage to order it 2 minutes before 6pm!

 

[rm082e]

Looks like my order went through. It was stuck on the Payment details for a good 30 seconds but I just kept hitting the button and it eventually went through.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Added to the cart but can't get past the payment screen.

God hates me.

 

[Metnut]

Keep saying there's an error in initializing or updating my transaction when I try to check out.

 

[Dzab]

In my cart 3 mins before it went live and it's been giving an error the entire time, nice.

 

[willothedog]

bought, was kicking up a fuss about PayPal so went with visa.

 

[dorkimoe]

im so glad with all the advancement in technology we have still not managed to fix a checkout system that can handle a bunch of people. insane really

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Added to the cart but can't get past the payment screen.

Keep trying. Mine did that over and over again.

I finally got it to through but I only selected my PayPal versus trying to use my wallet (had like $29.something).

 

[Magic Carpet]

It's not even letting me add 100 bucks to the steam wallet. It just blinks error message.

 

[Interfectum]

did you guys not buy Steam wallet credit before today? dont use CC or PayPal when everyone else is, just pre-buy credit.

 

[TrebleShot]

Lol error at checkout.

 

[lame gag1990]

Sold out?

 

[dorkimoe]

did you guys not buy for Steam wallet before today? dont use CC or PayPal when everyone else is, just pre-buy credit.

or..how about they make their shit work ?

I have more than enough in my Steam wallet, still won't let me check out

 

[Interfectum]

Sure but the goal is to get the controller, not chance third party processors breaking down during a launch.

 

[Sorcerer]

Is there a limit of 1 or 2? I know three is out of the question. Won't let me pay with my Steam Wallet.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

SITTING IN MY FUCKING CART AND CANT INITIALIZE TRANSACTION FUCK

EDIT: GOT IT!

 

[TrebleShot]

I did but still have the issue.

 

[reinking]

I kept getting the checkout error and kept retrying. It eventually went through. I hope I did not get charged for all of those attempts. Gabe is going to owe me a Steam Machine.

 

[Holammer]

CONFIRM SHIPPING INFORMATION

then it throws me back.

 

[Puscifer]

I'll try for 5 more minutes before I give up.

 

[Interfectum]

I did but still have the issue.

welp... time for Gabe to restart the Steam servers then. lol

 

[Revolutionary]

I demand a free Steam Controller as compensation for this inconvenience.

 

[jshackles]

Well my wife is giving me "the stare". Tried for 10 minutes to check out and no luck. If it's still available tonight I'll grab one otherwise I guess maybe I'll pick one up if they're eventually available.

 

[TrebleShot]

Finally worked , just had to spam the fuck out of the button.

 

[Paris]

My transaction finally completed with Steam Wallet funds. Got it placed 6 minutes after 10am Pacific. For me, tax and shipping was included in the $99.99 price (I'm in California), so it is a better price than I originally thought.

 

[Chukhopops]

Stuck on the payment info as well, doing the reasonable thing by clicking every minute until it works (or crashes entirely).

 

[timothet]

Is there a limit of 1 or 2? I know three is out of the question. Won't let me pay with my Steam Wallet.

It limits to 2 per order, but I think you can purchase more than that. I already purchased one, and it allows me to add two more to the cart. Maybe there is a check for how many have already been purchased before the final checkout step.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Steam doesn't want my money.

 

[Topher]

 

[ReasonBeing]

Almost certainly be patched post launch and there is a software solution already.

Maybe, the first Steam Controller was also not very useful outside of Steam. I do recognize a fundamental difference with the lack of a second analog, but Valve has yet to show an interest in there controllers playing nicely with other software.

In saying that, I hope they do. I want to have a reason to get one.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I stream to tablet and Quest devices often. The current 3rd party software wouldn't help in that use case.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

You have to lightly spam the green button on each new step. Don't over do it. That's how I got through. Don't restart.

 

[Comandr]

Honestly just spammed the fuckin' button. Good luck everyone else.

 

[TrebleShot]

3-5 days shipping is a bit of a joke in 2026.

 

[lame gag1990]

Finally worked , just had to spam the fuck out of the button.

Can confirm. I managed to eventually get through by spamming the fuck out of the button. Good luck to everyone trying to purchase.

 

[dorkimoe]

slipped to 6-10 days still cant get it lol

i fucking hate how this shit is everytime

 

[CandyCrushSagat]

Gabe help!

 

[manlisten]

3-5 days shipping is a bit of a joke in 2026.

This is what you get for complaining

 

[Magic Carpet]

I only have the one credit card on file with them. Theres 16 bucks in my steam wallet. It's not letting me add money to the wallet either much less the controller in the cart.

 

[Puscifer]

I'm over it. I haven't seen Steam this unresponsive since their Black Friday sales in the early 2010s, legit embarrassing.

 

[dorkimoe]

im just glad they keep taking orders , ill get mine in a month when they fix their shit

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Hell no, i dont think it is worth the money.

Besides the perfect controller was already developed, I just so happen to own one:
