They targeted scalpers.
gabe let me down bro...
>>738427495...and low IQ PC players, who don't know first thing about game controllers, and lack the ability to tell the difference from a cheaply made garbage controller (Steam) from one with high-quality material and design.
>>738427495Oh well, at least the ebay resales are showing that it's actually popular. Once it goes on sale years from now, it'll be nice to have had many people yell at valve about bugs.
post >yfw you are a First Wave CHAD
>>738427495Coulda had a queue system day 1, but they wanted that headline
If the steam deck 2 doesn't have a queue I'll be mad but not surprised. Honestly scalpers have been helping me not spend so much on stupid crap lately.
>>738429981All controllers are cheaply made garbage, the only low IQ people are the ones who spend more than 30 dollars on one
>>738430204mfw it just arrived.
>>738430204mine comes tomorrow, feels good
>>738430204>Boughted mine six minutes after it was available >Still on packagedThe only first wave I'm feeling is the waves emanating from my blueballs
>>738427495you can't even wrap your fingers around it because the touch pad would block them. is this controller for handlets?
>>738427495>put it in my cart as soon as it goes live>remember i've been spending a lot lately >take a moment to double check my finances>finally decide to buy>steam wont let me go to checkout>realize it's out of stock
>>738430204
>>738430998You should be thankful you were saved from an impulse buyThe steam controller is garbage
>>738430998It took you 30 minutes to che your finances? Because that's how long it took for it to sell out.
>>738431095I guess I don't need it but it fixes all of my problems with the original Steam Controller so it would probably be great for me. >>738431123Yes, I have ADHD and didn't take my meds that morning.
>>738430420How is it?
>>738430204we are literally all about to ascend and get so much pussy.
>>738431427in terms of hand feelsurprisingly "thin" feeling, also wish it was a little bit widerthe back buttons are exactly at where your fingers rest, so depending on how you look at it, they're either very easy to reach and or misclick city
>>738430204Reporting in
>>738433925You really paid 150 dollarydoos for a controller
>>738433925>>738434619A controller that's now going to last like a decade and not be subjected to stick drift and not niggerlicious like a $300 Xbox "elite" controller or $200 PS5 controller. Uhh yeah I think this is an easy choice lmfao. Also don't be a broke nigger, simple as
>>738434795>>738431856The dpad seems kinda shit for fightans
>Only works with Steam gameslol no thanks fatGaben
>>738430204damn feels good bro, shitty console controller users seething rn
>>738434840What dpad isn't? Other than dual sense I guessIf you play fighting games you want a leverless controller
>>738430204How long was it between packaged and picked up? Mines been packaged for 2 days.
>>738435240Dualshock 4 has godly dpad
>>738434795>don't be a broke nigger>literally complains about price of controllers in same postHow would you feel if your didn't have breakfast, anon?
>>738431095it's literally the perfect controller for couch gaming. The touch pads solve every problem with using an 8bitdo with the steam deck. I don't understand the impulse purchase aspect thrown around, I've been planning on buying this shit for like 3 months. I hope the scalpers get fukt, then have ot use their controllers and get converted into fans of the steam controller, while simultaneously not being able to buy something they've waited for. It's just the way it is.
>>738430204I got in a minute before it went live and it only got packaged yesterday with no movement at all today
>>738435258It's only been a day for meMine won't arrive until Saturday
>>738427495Can they not just cancel scalpers orders?
>>738435305pretty hungry. Also my point is that $150 is not that expensive when in comparison to $200-$300 controllers, so complaining about price instead of the actual features of the controller is a brokey mindset
The sticks are too close to the dpad and buttons and the dpad is a little too small, please fix this Valve. Make a gimmick trackpad free revision because I only use the trackpad with 8 games I just wanted a big battery and perfect Linux support and the magnetic puck instead of a big dock
>>738427495Scalping only exists if the market justifies it.This breaks the brains of people who don't understand basic economics, but the reality is that you don't have a human right to a luxury good at a price you happen to find convenient.
>>738436825You'll get your wish. There will be chink imitators.
>>738437147massive trvke just dropped
>>738434795 TMR Joysticks still have a spring inside them to reset them to center and can wear down and go floppy or not center properly over time just like any other joystick so you will have to replace the joysticks one day
>>738430204Got mine coming tomorrow
>>738436825If you want a controller without the trackpads you don't want a steam controllerjust get any of the hundreds of alternatives
>>738430204First wave but Burger so I'm still on Packaged
I want to play my Steam games on my TV but all it does is open it on my desktop monitor and mirror that to my TV which is really lame, I don't want the game running on my monitor and my TV at the same time. Is there a way around this?
>tfw live in shithole country so miss out on first wave AND have to buy from local "electronics stores" (basically legalized scalpers) when restocks happenFuck this queer ass earth
>>738438557Are you some sort of gen-A ipad kid? Extend monitors, not duplicate
>>738439001I don't mean I plugged my TV into my PC, I meant when I try and use the Steam play app to connect. Not only that but there's horrible lag as well, even with fiber internet and my PC connected to ethernet
>>738438963where bro, I got komodo even in my third world country
>>738430204>ordered 2 minutes before 10am PST>only shipped today>arriving tuesdayValve FUCKED me.
Got the controla now wheres my frame, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaben?!
>>738439108I'm torn between waiting for the frame and just getting the quest 3, on one hand frame has no passthrough, on the other, I'll have to let zuckerberg watch me jack off
got mine about an hour ago, the diagonals are much better than the steam deck, havent played super metriod before so I cant report on wall jump performance.
>Replenishment of inventory will vary from region to region. We will start fulfilling reservations next week in the US / Canada, and UK / EU / AU in the following weeks.eurobros... its over
Mine is coming tomorrowwhat are the best games and settings to use the trackpads?
no xinput?
>>738434840Why are you using gamepads to play that? Even a keyboard is much better.
>>738439523you could say the same about any other game on controllers, other than 3d platformers
>still at "Packaged items"I spend so much money on CS cases and should get special treatment
>>738437607>muh springHas never been the cause of drift.Grasping at straws since your console just has a crappy ALPS pot.
>was supposed to arrive today>randomly delayed to 11th
>>738439843what country/state so I can laugh at it?
>>738440158netherlands
Be honest, what do you actually need a steam controller for? What games are you playing that a kb+m or a regular $50 controller can’t satisfy?
>>738440438I just got it because it's the only pc controller that has attempted to offer an alternative to mouse controls
>>738440438The list of controllers with TMR joysticks, LRA rumble and gyro is very short. Also the deadzone on my dualsense's left joystick is like 50% of its radius now. I can tolerate deadzones but I'd strongly prefer if I didn't need them at all.
>>738430420Your face is a cardboard box with a controller printed on?
>>738440871Yes.
>>738429981You are not smart.
>>738436825>Make a gimmick trackpad free revisionGet any FlyDigi or GameSaar controller for $20.
>>738440438Mostly sims where i can just map 99% of the stuff i use to the steam controller while not having to fuck around with head tracking if i dont feel like it. Also anything that has map/inventory interactions with a mouse pointer. Theres probably way more stuff but thats just from the top of my head and i will be getting a frame so theres extra value for me.
>>738434906>Only works with Steam gamesWrong.
Gabe you are bloody basterd scalper sir...
>>738427495I bout My controller within 7 minutes of launch and live 30 minutes away from downtown Los Angeles, which is THE major shipping hub of the west coast and a global city. My package hasn't even shipped yet, so I think you might be onto something OP.
>>738439843>>738440158nvm now it updated again and is on the way
>>738427495any fightanfags get one yet?how's the dpad?
>>738440438I want to play vintage fps games on the couch with at least decent accuracy.
>>738434906SC4Windows in a month, trust the plan
I'm waiting for the real Steam Controller to come out
>>738443472Better than deck, still not what fighter fags view as "quality". But seems like 2 thirdds the market is shit according to them. I'd love to see what fighter people call a good controller, because I've seen sd, 8bitdo, gamesir, dualsense, and basically everything but xbox pro controller called shit for fighting so...But also is that's all you worry about in a controller, it's not for you anyway
>TFW desktop track pad sensitivity keeps resetting.
I want one but I'm scared its too big for my tiny hands. Looks too chunky
>>738443789>it's waylandI've fucking had it, Fuck wayland, Fuck KDE, Fuck System d
>>738445339it's not that much bigger than a regular xbox controller and it surprisingly feels lighter
>>738447786Never used an xbox controller, biggest I have is a switch pro which feels fine. How would you say it compares to that?
>>738445339Kinda feel the same. Dual sense is like right on the edge for me and from the images I've seen, the steam controller is bigger. DS4 shape/size is perfect for me. Maybe I'd get used to it over time.
>>738445339How big are your hands give length and width
>>738447881I don't have a switch pro controller so I can't say, maybe another anon can
How is it compared to the DS5?I find the DS5 to be the most comfortable pad
>>738435274DS4 is stiff as shit
>>738430204ima Eupoor so il have to w8 for a while
>>738449070>>738447881I had one for gyro. I'll compare when it arrives.
>>738439498>Anally
>>738429981>who don't know first thing about game controllersLet me guess, you're an xbox controller user.
>>738453052Honestly, got a series s controller for my pc and it's probably the cheapest feeling controller I've ever had.The plastics just don't feel like 55 euros, but a 20 euros controller, and the gaps are all around, literally each shoulder button has a different gap between them, and the end of the prongs you hold onto ends in a three piece plastic joint which the corners are sharp and can rip strings on cloths easily.
What scalping? Did valve set aside a certain amounts for different regions? I'm a europoor and I tried to buy it 90 minutes after it went live, I got some error message because steam was overloaded, decided to play some Vidya instead, and bought it 2 hours later after the server pressure had dropped somewhat
>>738453282That has been sort of my experience with the xbox one controller, it's such cheap garbage I don't know how Microsoft could get away with charging more than 20 dollars for it
>>738434840Steam said they are working with Hori on a Steam Controller for FGs.
>>738450367You may want to balete this nonners, transaction ID is bretty bimbortante...
>>738454590>What scalping?People are just saying this because they didn't get one.
What are the actual alternatives to this controller for the form factor? I need a new controller and I missed this.
immagine buying one just to resell it at double/triple the price, immagine having a bunch of accounts created just for this and buying a small bulk of this, thinking you'll make money, and now the only way to get rid of them is to sell them at a loss.scalpers rekt
>>738456150Just pre-order one today.
>>738427495wich is fucking based, what going to happen ? pc player not buying game on steam ? lol
>>738456150nothing? if THIS form factor is what you want(symmetrical layout, dual touchpads, gyro), then this is the first of its kind.
>>738456150Valve is launching a reservation queue tomorrow I think. Just reserve a controller and buy it when it comes out. There isn't really anything else like this on the market atm.
>>738456469Yeah I really like the giant brick sort of thing its got going on. I've got massive hands.
>valve software>actually sells hardwareFucking hacks, this is why people are moving to Epic en masse
