This guy will have to wait for his younger brother.
It was available to buy starting noon local time. I refreshed the page until the buy option became available, but kept getting an error when submitting payment. Waited about half an hour and now it’s sold out. Ni modo I guess.
Take it from me guys, I was the early adopter and my experience showed me that as great as they were, they suffered major build problems that were only exposed when in the hands of millions. The second round of builds were much better.
I have been drooling for this controller for years, but I’m more than happy to be patient this round.
For those wondering I went through 17. I have no reason to lie, I love them so much I only used them, but they broke so easily.
yeah, but that was their first experience with hardware like this. there have been 2 steam decks since then.
Yeah I’m not quite sure what meaning this would have. Kind of specious reasoning.
The controller and the deck are two completely different things.
not completely. the deck had a lot of time to get trackpads and steam input right. and build quality is great on the deck, it’s a much more complex piece of hardware and it didn’t have too many issues for first revisions
Yet we can see that they are completely different devices. I don’t quite understand how you can overlook what I’m saying.
same!
because by that logic steam controller 1 and steam controller 2 are also completely different devices and your past experience is inapplicable.
or we can accept that it was valve’s first foray into making hardware and they probably learned a thing or two in the last 10 years on how to make something that doesn’t fall apart. don’t quite understand how you can overlook what I’m saying
The disconnect seems to be that you think because modules have been installed in the deck, that somehow contributes to the build of the controller.
And that’s where I don’t agree.
Explains why my gen1 controller feels like shit. I never understood why people like them.
The haptics are worse than 90s 3rd party n64 controllers bought from a thrift store
