After reports that Valve had received shipments of the accessory, a Steam Controller review has appeared. Deleted ahead of a likely release date update, a YouTuber praised its responsive dual trackpads. Even so, the price may make it more difficult to discount the Steam Machine.
I think it’s insane that people just threw around the $500 price tag willy nilly when they announced it. It will only lead to disappointment. But maybe that was the point.
