Wasn't able to snag a Steam Controller. It's sold out.
I'm ordering that Brook Wingman for the PS2 today.
Any word on the 8bitdo Ultimate 3E? no new news.

Both me and Durin couldn't even get past the payment - did it sold out that instantly, lmao?

3E has May/June launch date so nothing precise yet.

Fuck, now the G7 pro 8k date changed to may 12th sigh. Im getting this instead of steam controller. Atleast i can use this on all launcher without messing with steam overlay and also switch 2 support

I'm really enjoying Xeno Plus, and G7 Pro 8k uses the same sticks.

I bet you won't be disappointed, if you know that Dpad is a bit wobbly. Other than that I think with updated sticks it will punch above it's weight for sure.

They fixed the DPAD in the 8K versions

It didn't sell out until like 30 something minutes but their payment processor kept spitting out errors. I managed to snag one. Hope it lives up to the hype. At the very least the touchpads should be a great help for playing X4. I might even try playing CK3 with it.

Should've just spammed the button I guess, because I tried to space it out thinking that would help.

Wouldn't even let me get to the Paypal prompt, already had one in my cart a few mins before 10am.

Had the same issue with the Steam Deck on launch though, but at least my copy of Gran Turismo 7 came in today to play with.

I could see X4 and other Space Sims being way easier to control with the touchpads for interface, along with all the different buttons, and doing radial menus on the left pad.

Yeah, I already play X4 with a controller but I have to switch to KB/M for management stuff. By using the back buttons as toggles I can use one touchpad for more hot keys than I need and keep the other touchpad purely as a mouse.

I'd imagine the haptic squeeze for gyro to look around the ship would be cool too. X4 is still on my backlog just because it's a dense game, but looked cool.

I clicked on a button and got rejections for 40 minutes while talking to a friend, but finally I got through to the final page of checkout and my order went through. Persistence paid off! There must have been strong demand.
SC, of course.

Edit:
Added to basket at 1 minute before the hour, and my screenshot of successfuk purchase was 42 minutes later. Perhaps I was very lucky

Steam Controller reservations are open for those of us that didn't spam buttons as much, lmao.

Steam Hardware - Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th - Steam News

MOJHON (BIGBIG WON) STORM Wireless Gaming Controller

Compatible with Windows, Switch (NS1/NS2), Android, and iOS Supports 2.4GHz USB, Bluetooth, and Wired Connections 2000Hz Polling Rate (Wired & 2.4G) for Ultra-Low Latency TMR Magnetic Sticks (No Drift, High Precision, Long Lifespan) High-Precision 6-Axis Motion Control (Native Switch Support)...

Storm is available on GadgetHyper. But I just reserved Steam Controller so I will sit this one out. Apparently it uses JS13 TMR sticks, which G7 Pro 8k, Xeno Plus and Steam Controller uses too. I already have Xeno Plus and will have SC, so honestly I don't know if I should order Storm in a near future, lmao.

Valve are not happy with the scalping, it seems. Good. Sucks for people that genuinely want more than 1, but hopefully the mere existence of the reservations kills off the scalping market for this controller.

My controller is still in packaged phase. The only thing I can do is be patient.
