Valve being based as usual. They released surface topology CAD files for the controller and the puck under the CC license.
 
You know one would have thought that Valve would have know better... But clearly they have no idea what they are doing again... Deck launch had pre-orders. So no reason why this would not have had. Or working servers...
Regardless if it was intentional or not, it made the big rounds on normie medias. They should've done it on release, but better late than never I guess

I imagine maybe they optimisticly figured less demand than deck? Though if so the company being humble is kinda sweet and adorable compared to a lot of shit.

I mean when's the last time you heard of a controller getting scalped ... never??

Humanity has reached a point where it's scalping sauce packs and poptarts.
 
Well, I got mine. I'm currently testing it out with my Steam Deck docked to my bedroom TV to act as a pseudo Steam Machine. The controller sits comfortably enough in my hands. So far, it feels about how I expected it to. I can see why people say the plastic casing feels cheap though. Despite that, the controller does have a bit of heft to it.

I trust a kiwi more than most, so can you explain WHAT feels cheap? Light? Squishy? Scratch prone? Isn't it same as deck??
Well, after holding it and then holding a Playstation 4 controller, I feel like its the weight distribution between the controller's shell versus the internal components making the plastic feel lighter than when compared to other controllers giving an impression that the plastic is of lower quality than its competitors. It doesn't feel fragile though. The handles didn't give at all when I squeezed them with some force. As long as players aren't throwing the thing at a wall, I'm sure it'll be fine.

What woman marries a man that buys a $100 controller for himself instead of a $300+ handbag for her?
