You haven't done us any favours. We wanted to buy it through the MM for peanuts

Oh yeah sorry, I'll reorder when they're back in. I'll tell you what tipped it, I asked myself what was the last game I wish I could play away from my desk that the mouse controls could be handy for. Couldn't name one lol.

Have you got a controller you use already for usual controller games on PC? I can understand not needing a Steam controller if you're already using something.

Yeah Dualsense and that weird weathered metal controller that mrk 'made' me buy. Also Switch 2 pro controller but dunno if that works on PC.
Not played anything in quite some time that I’ve used one for tbh.

Mine says it shipped yesterday but not handed over to courier. I think it won't update the shipping details until its actually been delivered. Same thing happened with the steam deck.

I'm feeling the same, but I ordered one anyway cos I wanna try it. Also FOMO.
I currently use a PS5 controller for controller oriented games, so will be interesting how they compare

If the Steam controller had trigger haptics I would have bought one.

about 10x the battery life for starters, that was always my biggest issue with it.
