Important edit: The Steam Controller is not totally out of stock. They are toggling availability to limit orders. If you have not yet gotten one, continue checking the site.

Who all managed to get one?

Who’s with me in the “impatiently has to wait for them to return to stock” camp?

What excites you most about the Steam Controller?

Got mine 3 minutes before the hour. I was smashing that F5 button like I was Brock Lesnar in a squash match. My friend also got one same time, although he had the error screen a few times before it went through.

Good luck on the next releases of the machine and frame, gents 🫡

Yep Valve opened the sales a couple mins early so I had my order complete already when 10 AM PST rolled over. They seemed pretty reliably available for at least 30 mins after that, at least whenever I refreshed.

To add to cart yes. But Most people’s complaints were during the payment part, it kept erroring out.

Oh, got it. Somebody gave me the tip to preload my Steam wallet, so that made it smooth sailing for me.
