I have a lot of controllers (Xbox, PS, Switch). I don’t _need_ a Steam Controller, and I doubt I’ll use it to its full extent, but I ultimately wanted to tell Valve that there’s demand for their hardware.
Not like they needed _me_ specifically for that, considering they sold out in an hour… but I didn’t know that until it happened

I’m pretty sure it’ll still work without Steam, you just might not have all the bells and whistles. But according to the site, it can connect to anything with Bluetooth.

Well yeah, there are only like two gamers in the EU. I’m talking about America, the center of the universe 🦅
(Just kidding, I’m glad yall seem to have more stock/lower demand)

Sounds like my earlier theory was right, they’re using the “out of stock” as a way to limit orders. I finally got my order to go through at about 11:10 PDT.

Even if I complete the transaction, a message pops up that says “Your order cannot be completed as the item is out of stock”

My hope is that the payment processor died because of demand, so they marked it as out of stock to try to work through the queue
Edit: this seems to be the case. See my other reply

It’s been too long ago now, but that sounds right

Too late for the Steam Deck
Too early for Steam Machine 2
Just in time for Steam Controller 2

I think it’s funny just how popular this thing is. How may people do you think are trying to buy it vs scalp it? 90:10? 80:20?

Stuck on the payment screen myself. Scrolling Lenny and pressing “Pay Now” every minute or so.
This is how it was with the OG Steam Deck, too. Took me about 15 minutes of guard dogging to make sure I got one. That was a pretty stressful time, lol
