More expensive than what I expected, but the double touchpads and TMR joysticks do make the $100 price justifiable.

I expected it to be around $80. I'll probably get it anyway, since I love playing FPS on my Steam Deck with motion controls, customized to enabling motion on the touch of the analog stick.

My xbox controller is getting scruffy, might have to pick a new controller soon. This could be the option

I always go alternate: Xbox -> broken -> Dualsense -> broken -> Xbox -> broken -> ( right now I'm here )
So my next controller is a Dualsense ( sterling silver looks gooood ).
It's not that I'm against Steam, it's just years of playing on those two, which are just so comfortable for me, especially the Xbox.

Do they have interactive triggers? Love that one the PS controller.
My only worry is Steam hardware is made of the cheapest feeling plastic ever. Hollow, horrible feeling things (yes I'm talking about Steamdeck and the original Steam Controller). Wish they'd get their manufacturing game together, but someone there seems to have a fetish for cheap ass plastic.

Same, i'm still using my old XBox 360 controller, if this Steam Controller will be a success i'm definitely switching.

Not only that but Valve is full in on rights to repair, so you'll have this controller with a long lifecycle

Yes, exactly. The only thing that really makes those controllers "premium" are the additional features the base ones don't have. Stuff like back buttons which Steam controller has, along with the track pads. $25 more isn't much when you look at the features.

So Dualsense is 75? I thought they were 90 for some reason.

Base one is 75. The price varies based on the design, I believe

Just watched the video... yeah not for me dawg. Looks cheap as hell, back paddles have been made into buttons and look and likely feel cheap. No interactive triggers, same cheap as plastic I mentioned before thats used in all their products. Very sad by this as those track pads are valuable, and the price isnt bad. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make a Steam Controller Elite for those who want a quality feeling product.

I don't blame you, DualSense is packing lots of tech inside it.

This is crazy given the cheaper but better alternatives out there. 8bitdo or Gamesir are both well worth a look. If you want more find the controller thread where you will get solid advice and recommendations.

Getting the shaft
I've honestly never got stick drift on any controller since 1995 until I got the duelsense pro and 2 sticks went. I could replace those though.
Prices are silly now. If I look at how much my ps5 pro is worth in CDN $ its $1099+$99 disk drive and my local computer store has my 2TB western digital ssd for $1200.
That's an insane $2400 for a ps5

It has features more comparable to the PS5 duelsense edge controller, which is $200

TMR nice! How about the buttons?

Being honest, I bought the last one on launch and tried to love it, but it was an unwieldy piece of shit. This one does not fill me with hope.

Anyone know if the Steam Machine is bundled with a controller or not? I want the controller regardless but I don't need two.

I think GameCube / Dreamcast controllers were like 30 or 40? I'd have to check, I still have a couple new with stickers.

I dunno but I'm the UK I've never known a first party controller since the N64 onwards to be less than £30. In fact I'd say they've always been a lot more!

Yeah, not sure about 20 at all. Just citing what I think.

6th generation. The DualShock 2 was $25 I believe and the GameCube controller was $20.
Edit: I think I was wrong. I believe the DualShock was $35. I did find an old IGN link stating a MSRP of $20 for the GameCube controller though. I wasn't even 10 so I wasn't old enough to remember personally.

Honestly not that bad, I skipped the first one cause of no 2nd analog stick but if the build quality is good and can last me 10+ years, its worth it.

I wish this info was easily accessible (accessories launch prices in different regions) - the Game Cube was available for as low as £129 according to Google so I'm really curious as to what the pad cost.

Okay so after a little digging I finally found this link from IGN which is like a guide to the GameCube launch in the US.
GameCube Launch: Ready Your Budget - IGN
You never thought you'd see the day, but Nintendo's next-generation console is finally a reality. The GameCube will enjoy a September 14 launch in Japan and a November 5 one in the US, just in time for the holiday shopping season. Below we've compiled a list of the games that are absolutely...
Also found this which is from a Nintendo Power I guess
Another IGN article for the PlayStation 2 stating the same $35 MSRP for DualShock 2
E3 2000: PS2 US Launch Details Revealed - IGN
At its pre-E3 press conference in Los Angeles, Sony Computer Entertainment today announced the exact pricing and release details for PlayStation 2 -- including hard drive and new peripheral information for the North American market.

$25 is worth it for back buttons. It's stupid that only the dual sense adge at $200 has them for official PS5 controllers

It was 99 USD for the console for a bit. I bought one of those with the Zelda Collection bundled at 99. I think cleared out even hitting 49 USD.
Edit:
Here's an older article talking about 99 MSRP in US.

The lack of a headphone jack or mic is a bummer. Otherwise, it looks great. This is more in line with the DualSense Edge or Xbox Elite controller so pricing is ok.

I tried 8bit, it's too small for my hands. Gamesir idk felt weird, kinda cheap. I don't know, I'm a simple controller person, I just pick either Xbox or Dualsense and it's fine, these controllers are all-rounders just like say an iPhone or EarPods or Macs, you don't have to choose much, just buy and it'll be good in all areas. I'm not looking for the best.

It looks like a block with tacked on touchpads and grips.
This thing better be loaded with tech for that price, i.e. haptics, gyro, hall effect sticks...the works

no, this is a insane price for a controller
for everything the deck offers $99 is a way fair price.
