i still have my original steam controler from 20 years ago, i am waiting for the steamframe, hope this means it will also come soon.
You gave me a mini heart attack, but I’m pretty sure you mean ~10 years ago.
And I will be buying one at 10:01am.
And by 10:00.1 it will be sold out.
10:00.1
ten hours, zero minutes, and one tenth of a minute (6 seconds)
or ten minutes, zero seconds, and one tenth of a second?
either way fuck the scalpers that are gonna try to ruin this for everyone
If they do the rollout like the Deck initially, it should make it harder for scalpers and bots to scoop them up.
Steam’s webshop servers are going to fucking explode.
$150 CAD. Ouch.
Could have been much worse tbh. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro costs roughly double that, for example 🤷🏻
yikes!
Yeah, at that price point I’ll just hold on to my DS4.
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.
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’ve had it wishlisted since it was announced, may be a region thing?
all set, resolved itself
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.
From reviews, it sounds like it functions as a normal Xbox controller without Steam running to augment it. Most of the time. I heard Retro Arch reads it as a mouse and keyboard, which is how the old Steam controller worked.

May the Fourth be with us all.
Finally
I bought the first steam controllers when they launch, years back for 50cad each and they still work perfectly fine. I did not understand why where not more popular. It’s basically the only thing I really enjoyed from steam, I get most of my games from gog and play with heroic.
Interesting they basically made a dualshock controller with two trackpads instead of one. wonder why they kept the dual track pads?
No Halle effect sticks?
It uses TMR sticks which are similar and in some ways better. The hall sensors technology but a little different
Dope. Never heard of them! Anything better than ps5 and Xbox default.
