Nar, need to see how it operates on linux first

It's basically Steam Deck without the screen, So very well.

Fuck, man. They just took my cash and said fuck me. Still only processed.

The buying frenzy of this thing is way over the top. It's a pretty standard controller but with touch pads added. It's not that special.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Looks neat, might buy one later. TMR sticks and extra grip buttons are tempting.
Scalpers are such disgusting creatures. Jail. Right away. People who buy from them should be shamed and ridiculed, as well.

The only thing I hate more than scalpers are people who buy from scalpers.

 

[Topher]

I didn't expect demand for this to be this high. A bit insane. I still have money in my Steam wallet, but at this point it looks like it is going to be sitting there a while

You uk based? mine still payment processing, I had steam account credit so not sure what they are processing.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Both the controllers I ordered have now completed the "packaged item" checkpoint. I was genuinely convinced they would've been cancelled with the errors, but I am more excited, genuinely, I get to surprise a family member with 1 because they were unable to order any and have been so excited since it was revealed (they loved the first Steam Controller too).

I think the onus should be on suppliers to combat scalpers, like how Sony handled PS5. Trying to fight the principle of supply and demand is a fools errand.

People will always have the right to buy a thing for one price, and resell it for another price. You can't outlaw market dynamics.

Big uphill fight trying to stop scalpers

Companies do need to figure out a way to stop the mass buyout bots though

 

[Pedro Motta]

Why should I? Honest question, why?

Playstation were on the right track when they limited sales to people with proven history of PSN/PS+ activity.

While I didn't mind that you also kind of tell people who never owned a PS we don't want your business just yet

But at least it was something to try and curb it

 

[Z O N E]

I'll probably pick one up down the line cause I really want to try those new trackpads with some titles that don't have controller support, but I still have my Xbox Elite Series 2 , so I'll wait a little while longer.

 

[Little Mac]

I'm in the US ... paid with steam gift card credit ... under shipping status it still only says "processed payment".

 

[Gonzito]

I would like to get one in the future but I am not dropping 100 euros for a controller

And its not about the money I can afford it but I just dont see how that pricetag is justified

I feel like Steam had the perfect way to do that (how they handled the Steam Deck early on) but failed to implement it for the controller

 

[OverHeat]

Packaged!!!!!

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Packaged!!!!!

Same!!

 

[Flyingpanther]

I was almost on the fence but I will buy it later my xbox serie x controller still works no need for a new controler now. Mabey when it will break I buy the steam controller

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Packaged!!!!!

Same!!

Yep, same here. I'm hoping maybe there's some hope that I get it Friday since I have a long weekend. Steam shipping is usually extremely quick for me. Both of my Decks came next day once they showed as shipped.

They're in my general sphere of influence. I expect it by Saturday or Monday at the latest. Without Valve telling me anything. After that... beyond my scope of understanding, lol.

 

[Thanati]

Nope. Got World Cup tickets for my son and me instead

 

[Mr1999]

Can I buy one off you?

The other is for brother in law. Also it just updated for me and got the usps tracking, says it should be here Friday, its about 100 miles away, so it could be here tomorrow.

The buying frenzy of this thing is way over the top. It's a pretty standard controller but with touch pads added. It's not that special.

After watching some videos It makes a viable alternative to the mouse and keyboard, obviously its nice to have a keyboard and mouse, but sometimes you just wanna relax, and you end up using the mouse with on screen keyboard, and that's slow, controller is better at that point, yes im lazy. I blame my wife, I never knew about onscreen keyboard till she told me lol, glad I never touched it growing up, but now i see the appeal.

Until some other company makes touchpads worth a damn on a controller that alleviate pain points for PC on the couch, then it will literally be special for just that alone.

 

[CandyCrushSagat]

My guys!
My steam controller has been delivered!

 

[Jesb]

For the price of this I could buy two high quality controllers. Ridiculous price.

 

[Lord Malachite]

I've got both DualSense Edge and Xbox Elite, and they've been just fine for me when I game on PC, which isn't often anyway, so it's the hardest of passes for me. But I hope those that are opting in enjoy their purchase.
