Looks like I'll be waiting until September

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

Which'll happen first? You get your controller, I'll get mine, or society utterly collapses?

C'mon, Valve.

 

[RCX]

Its just a controller and they cant even make these in a reliable way.

It has no ram or storage so whats the fucking problem? Valve starting to look very incompetent lately

 

[Hudo]

Oh wow! By September, I might actually be able to give Valve 100€. Ridiculous situation.

 

[jshackles]

Mine is supposed to arrive on Monday. Got in about two seconds after the reservation system went live initially.

 

[J3nga]

Just get any other controller if you need one

 

[Mownoc]

Yeah if I go to get one now, in the UK, it says estimated 2027. 6 month wait for a controller lmao

 

[DarkShadowXI]

What is going on over there??

 

[Aressa]

I don't get it honestly. Why can't they produce them faster?

At least you can order. It's not available on Steam in my region so I have to wait for it to be available in stores which by the look of it seems like 2030.

Maybe I want this one?

Sep2026.

Something must have gone wrong for the hardware people. That's a massive oops.

 

[Dorfdad]

I have a sneaky decision they only made 1000 units or something and waited to see if anyone cared and than making a purchase. No other reason for this long ass wait for a controller. Wait till they sell out the initial Steam Machines... 2 year wait

 

[OverHeat]

Not worth the wait IMO

 

[Soodanim]

GAF, a lot of you seem angry about something that is out of your control.

To help with this, I'm going to let you know that I've already owned and returned the new SC. I hope that cheers you all up.

 

[delirium trigger]

I was on the fence about it but I figured I'd reserve one. Reserved on May 11 and have an estimated order availability in 2027.

Yea fuck you too Steam. They purposefully didn't make many of these.

 

[DarkLordOtaku]

I finally got my confirmation email today. Placed my order an hour after reservations went live.

Not incompetent at all, had mine for over a month and delivered right on time.

This is exactly how I feel when GAFers tell me to buy a PS5 instead of a Steam Machine lol

Good. Don't let any of these degenerates push you around or tell you what to do

 

[DarkShadowXI]

For sure. I'm gonna push the buy button for the Steam Machine even harder

 

[Last Hearth]

Mine arrived today and just tried it out, it's pretty awesome. The touchpad has some haptic feedback on my fingers that makes a big difference. I need to play with it some more but this may finally be the best of both worlds in terms of controller and K+M that I've been looking for.

A boutique "pro" controller for a platform with a ton of choices. Hmmm

I think the opposite. There's people on eBay with multiples - they under estimated scalper culture especially when there's software you can subscribe too that scalps for you.
