$99 USD is hard to justify. 8BitDo Ultimate is half the price and a great controller.

It has more features than an Ultimate 2, and has one of a kind joystick tech. It's also going to be what they test Steam machine against, so it's the most likely to interface well with any game. It certainly makes sense for it to go for around 100, especially since that's still way below the pro Xbox and PlayStation controllers.

People forgetting the "pro" controllers of consoles are $200??

$99 is incredibly reasonable for all the tech you are getting with this thing.

Ultimate 2 also has TMR joysticks. I love mine.

Oof. That hurts. Was planning to pick this up but at that price I may wait...

It's closer to 2/3 the price than 1/2. It also does a lot less.

Not that I don't love almost everything 8bitdo.
