Gonna keep buying Xbox controllers I suppose then :\ Would love to throw money at Valve for theirs, but they aren't making it easy and I am not going to join a waitlist for a piece of plastic lol. Hopefully in the future they'll have some for sale

Why wouldn't you join a wait-list? It's not like it costs anything, they're just sending you an email.

I have a Steam Deck and am not sure what the hype is about with the Steam controller. On my SD, the track pads don’t really work that well (mainly use them in desktop mode as a mouse), and $50 Xbox controllers otherwise seem equivalent, except at half the price with support for Linux distros other than SteamOS. Am I overlooking something critical?
