    Ya and no one thinks those are fairly priced. Xbox and Nintendo isn’t the bar.

      The fact is that the Steam controller is way more feature rich than other controllers from major brands in the same price point. The price tag actually makes sense vs what Nintendo and Microsoft charge for inferior hardware.

        Jesus bootlicking Christ. I literally just said Idgaf if it’s worth it compared to micro$oft. They aren’t the fucking bar.

        It’s as overpriced as the joycons. Two 50 cent mouse pads don’t add enough value to make up the difference. Would you pay the same price for a Microsoft controller if it had little pads?

        Is this thing worth 5 third party controllers? Are three of these worth a steam deck?

        Fucking Gaben simp squad. Can’t think the moment there’s a valve logo near something.

        I actually hope you morons buy as many as you can of these. Hopefully, they use the ridiculous profits from it to offset and lower the cost of the actually interesting products that are coming.

          If it had all the other little things like TMR sticks, repair-friendly construction, really deep configuration, and other hardware in the family having a track record of good software support, unironically yes. As much as I hate Microsoft, their accessibility controller was a big win.

          Also, it’s not simping to genuinely like a company’s products after using a lot of them.

            Especially if it lasts like the first. I have 4x dead Xbox one controllers, and a working steam controller that’s several years older than all of them.

          Maybe you should avoid gaming communities if discussions about gaming hardware triggers you this hard.
