       Will you be buying the new Steam Controller from Valve?

       @gamingonlinux I'm torn, initially I wanted to but at a leaked $99 it's a tad more than I'd want to.I've actually started to use my Dualsense a tad more now too as finding more and more games support the haptic triggers which I do like.

       @gamingonlinux with the caveat that I bought the last one and still have it somewhere and might have to justify the purchase in that knowledge

       @gamingonlinux I know this an unpopular opinion™ but I got 2 of the originals, and they were and still are a big let-down

       @gamingonlinux Without question. I love playing my Steam Deck docked on my living room TV, but always sad to lose the touchpads. I’ve got the OG Steam Controller, but it doesn’t have enough buttons, and the shape is funky (tho more comfortable than you’d think). This feels like the perfect evolution.

       @gamingonlinux I thought I would but at $99... I think I'll save the money for the Frame which is what I'm most excited for.

       @gamingonlinux Secret fourth option:Maybe when my DS4s crap out because I'm very happy with those otherwiseKinda waiting on reviews tho, I guess. I have a pair of the old Steam Controller and it was a pretty mixed experience with them. The new one seems to address some of my gripes but a big one was that the build quality on the old controller was not great. It just doesn't feel super good to hold etc...Optimistic, still, really want these to be great

       @gamingonlinux not on its own, but with a Steam Machine if/when they appear.

       @gamingonlinux Got two Steam Links, an OG Steam Controller and a Steam Deck. Gotta keep the family together 🤣

       @gamingonlinux No, I'm not buying anything from Steam/Valve anymore. I could consider GOG-controller if they make one. 😉

       @gamingonlinux My "good" controller seems to have gone missing in the last month, so it's a well-timed replacement. In the long run, I expect to have two, as the Steam Machine is also supposed to come with one - which is ok, I like some two-player games. But if I can get one now and they offer the Steam machine without, I'll likely go without.

       @gamingonlinux I answered yes, but it's more of a "very likely." I'm in no rush, but my kid adores the original Steam Controller, and theirs isn't always reliable after ten years of being dropped on the floor and handled with sticky kid fingers.  I think we'll get at least one of the new ones to replace the old.

       @gamingonlinux My PC gaming is 99.99% RetroArch, and at the moment, my old PS3 controller works fine. I know it won't last forever though, so when I need a new one I'll likely be mulling it over between a Steam controller or something from 8bitdo.Edit: forgot to say "reviews will play into that decision" 📊

       @gamingonlinux either when my current controller dies (which may be soon sadly) or whenever it gets on sale. Whatever comes first.

       @gamingonlinux It definitely costs more than I would like, but it really looks to be the ultimate controller for the steam deck, especially with the dual touch pads. I usually use an Xbox controller but occasionally have to swap to a PS4 controller due to it having a touchpad. I really think the steam controller will take the place of them both.

       @gamingonlinux Unlikely because it uses the PlayStation stick layout.

       @gamingonlinux Not yet, maybe if it was 20€ cheaper or I needed a new controller. But I don't need one right now, and the price although maybe fair considering the specs, is higher than I expected.
