FYI, Tyler McVicker said that games media are traveling for this now, including HLX / Half-Life 3. I can confirm several of the outlets I follow have sent people "somewhere", including the two guys from Giant Bomb who traveled for the last Valve hardware event. They would have seen everything yesterday, and if the embargo lifts sometime next week, it would give everyone time to edit their footage.

MODERATORS
Probably the only thing out of their new hardware lineup that has any chance of being released in the near future.
Yeah. Damn shame, but if they released the steam machine or frame at the moment, the price would probably have to be at the point it would ensure the product didn't have a chance to catch on. Pity, I kind of want a steam frame.
I mean I guarantee the timing is no coincidence with the chinese ram market crashing
I'll keep my fingers crossed! 🤞
However I kinda suspect it may be valve responding to all the gamers who have been saying they want the controller now, it doesn't need ram so why wait to release it with the other products? I get that valve probably wanted to do a simultaneous release, but that just doesn't seem possible any longer.
Steam Frame... when?
My wallet fears the answer to this question.
I've been waiting for this controller for a while. Hoping it's even remotely close to my expectations.
I'm so ready to turn the page on the crappy PS4 Pro controller I bought a few years back that developed charging and battery issues and become unreliable. Regardless of what Lemmy trolls want me to believe, I feel like a 2.5 year life span for a premium Sony controller was a rip-off.
I like the fact that the analog sticks are symmetrical in placement (compared to XBOX). So really, I'm just hoping that the batteries and connectors in these are more reliable than the poor quality crap that Sony puts out.
2.5 years life spam for a controller is a rip-off, that being said I have PlayStation 4 controllers that are waaaay older than that and still work (battery is not great, anymore, but I'm sure I could find a replacement). I don't know what people do with their controllers, mine last for years and years, the only controller I have that actually developed an issue is one that I lent to a friend for a month.

No, you're right. That's a fucking ripoff
I do want this controller, even if ram shortages make the actual gabecube expensive.
And of course, no link to the unboxing video....fuck these articles!!!
Did you read the article?
Nope, literally opened it up to see the link for the video 😁
There is no video
And thus their complain about the title of the article making it seem like there is one...
I still hold firm that the first steam controller is GOATed and it only failed because the world wasn't ready for it yet.
I still have mine and I agree. Though I do like the changes on this new one to more mirror the steamdeck.
I wish I could get an original one, but the new one being in line with the deck is great because the deck is ergonomic as duck!
Why can't you get an original one?
Valve got sued by a patent troll over the back buttons.
Fuck SCUF and Corsair
But I just bought an original one
Not new from Valve, they haven't sold or made any more since 2019. You either bought it second hand or from some third-party shop that just had some left in stock.
No one said new
When GabeCube?
When steam frame?
