    Ah, right after I ordered an 8bitDo Ultimate 2C because my OG Steam Controller is disintegrating. At least I hope the new SC doesn’t arrive at some ridiculous price in Europe, I’m willing to pay 50-60€ tops.

      I don’t think it’s going to be 50-60, it has a lot more features and hardware than other controllers.

      Isn’t that the price of a PS5 controller? Given that it’s got a lot of extra features I would expect it to probably be more expensive than that unless valve decide they want to take the hit and make it a lost leader.

        Why would Valve need to do that?

        This controller, and the Steam Machines can be used anywhere including not on Steam, so it doesn’t make sense to do this. Especially after Gabe demanding the hardware division stands on its own.

        My projection is these will sell like hot cakes, like most things Valve sells.

      I bought the same one I think a few weeks ago. Also one from Gamesir to compare, but I like the 8bitDo better. The only annoying thing is that the start and select keys are too high up and I cannot remap the lower two one to be select and start also.
