I am just wondering, what do you think the Steam controller is going to cost when it comes out?

    We know it is wireless, has a gyro, and on top of all basic controller functions has two trackpads with extra haptics, so it’s unlikely that it will be cheap.

      Essentially the same as the original controller with just an extra joystick.
      The Deck has all that + screen+computer+speakers for as low as 400. The controller part is not 1/4 of the cost there.
      Plus the components are essentially the same as for the deck, so less cost for the RnD and the manufacturing.

      If it’s priced higher than ~60 it better work perfectly with the system/games, unlike the Deck which has many issues with multiple controllers.
      I’ll gladly spend around200 buck for a 4 pack if that means I can reliably play couch games with my friends, but imagine having to spend more than what a used Deck costs for 4 controllers 💀
