Important edit: The Steam Controller is not totally out of stock. They are toggling availability to limit orders. If you have not yet gotten one, continue checking the site.

Who all managed to get one?

Who’s with me in the “impatiently has to wait for them to return to stock” camp?

What excites you most about the Steam Controller?

I was able to order two in Canada. Looks like they are sold out now too.

Looks to be still in stock in the EU?

Saw it went live at 0958 PST was able to get in and out with no issues. In about 10 secs

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Got an order in!

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

It went out of stock multiple times but after spamming checkout for 40 minutes it finally went through at 1:09PM CST.

I'm in the "I still have the original, but will probably buy one"

I liked the original as a concept, but the implementation left me wanting. The Steam Deck is really the best of both worlds, and I’m glad that they’ve basically ported that same design directly into a controller.

Damn, I've seen a few of threads about this and it's making me feel a little guilty that I managed to order one without really trying hard for it.

Am I the only one who doesn't really want one? I mean, I'd try it, sure, but like.. eh?

And I do like some controller games, I have a handful of 8bitdo controllers.

I didn't even get an email to tell me it was available, they were gone that quick.

I'll pick one up in the next batch.

I got one. Had to click "Continue" about 100 times to checkout. Took over 30 minutes. And I had the required funds in my Steam Wallet.

I'm still able to add to cart on the mobile app

Does it pair directly to the steam deck? Without the puck?

You must be living pretty good if this day is the worse.
