    No. Valve spends a shit load on marketing and almost none of the articles over the past few days have been anywhere near negative.

    100$ for a controller is fucking stupid. If valve wasn’t paying everyone off, they would be getting ripped a new one.

      I’m not getting paid by Valve, in fact I will be giving them money for this controller as soon as possible. If you only play controller games then yeah, €99 for a controller with just 2 extra buttons and capacitive gyro might be too much (although, the capacitive gyro and extra buttons alone justify the price for me). But no other controller can be used to play mouse games comfortably. The trackpads might not be for you, but to claim they’re not worth it is naive at best, as they’re the ONLY good solution for this problem and no one else is doing them to be able to say “this other controller does the same and is cheaper”.
