The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

…I might pick up the controller if it’s not a hundred bucks.
The controller is going to be closer to $200
Ain’t no way. I got my steam deck during the first sale for around $330. There is no way their controller based off it will cost about half of something that came with a screen, soc, and bigger battery.
Ps5 controller is like $70, the Steam Controller has more features than that, and the OG Steam Controller was pretty expensive. I’d be shocked if it’s under $100. I’m expecting it in the $150-$200 range. But we’ll see, I’d love to be proven wrong
Wasn’t the OG steam controller $50 ?
Yeah, it was. So it had more features than most controllers at the time and I think was still cheaper.
I got the steam link for ~$10 but that was after it was discontinued.
Cool, let’s have a gentleperson’s bet. I’m going sub $100.

The original steam controller was $50, I would hope they’d be able to keep it under $100.
Not to mention a steamdeck is $400, and that’s got a lot more going on than just a controller.

I mean the original controller had gryo, track pads, USB dongle and Bluetooth, haptics, and buttons on the back.
However, I do agree the controller felt cheap (I think really just how light it was).
We’ll have to see. I think they could pull it off as they’ve been more aggressive with pricing than other companies.
