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.

    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.
