Oh for sure. I liked the original Steam Controller for what it was and I'm excited for the new one to give me a Deck-like experience on my Bazzite PC. I'm confident this will be a good controller.

I just think it's kind of a big swing going from the $5 bargain bin device to the $100 follow up. I wonder how many people are going to think they can wait for this one to go into clearance?

I'm pretty sure that the original sold for something like 45 or 50 at the time. Maybe more.
