When I just search exactly just steam controller, then filter price to over 100 usd, there’s several hundred results, some of which are the original one, but the vast majority are the new one. Don’t put 2026 in the search, that’s not how scalpers think.
Try ebay.com, rather than .de? A lot of the listings I saw were from Australia.
Just searching “Steam Controller,” minimum price $100, item location worldwide, sending to some zip code in Los Angeles (originally it was set to Germany), I get like 400+ listings, but less than 25 of the new controllers. All the others are the old ones, those Hori licensed Steam controllers, Steam Links, 3rd party controllers, flight sim stuff, etc. (I stopped scrolling after page 4, since the new controllers stopped very quickly).
Shipping from Australia makes sense (which I also see), since there seems to have been not as big of an interest there. I saw posts mentioning how they casually grabbed one, hours after launch with no fuss there.
I’m laughing switch it to recently sold on eBay.com good 40+ sold at $200-350 a pop. By the time the next wave comes they are coming in force with profits like that. Gonna be a long summer of stock alerts.

It’s basically the same.

Yeah same. Just checked again, nowhere near as many listings. Maybe it was all one person and they got banned
