As someone who spent $150-$200 on the Xbox Elite controller just to get the rear paddles, $100 for this with the rear buttons and the track pads seems like no problem at all. Imo it's incredibly fairly priced as compared to the competition, considering the features and emphasis on repairability.

Sounds like you're a sucker who falls for scams

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Sounds like you don't know what a scam is. A scam is when something is promised but not delivered, not when you think something is overpriced.

Sounds like you need to brush up on the definition of a scam.

Overcharging for something that's clearly identified isn't a scam, and your idea of what qualifies as "overcharging" isn't universal.

You sound like you're butthurt about others having disposable income and choosing one product over a cheaper option. I've had my elite controller for 5+ years. There are cheaper options out there but the elite is the most comfortable controller for my hands.
