  • For a second I thought the AU delivered price was still in US dollars lol

    • Sorry for the confusing, not so good at making the titles.

  • Your URL takes me to Steam Link not controller. - edit I see you have 2 links. Got it thanks.

    • Should be fixed, sorry!

  • Steam Link says "Ships to U.S. addresses only"

    • It allowed me to add it to the cart a little awhile ago.

      • I get this "We're sorry but product 'Steam Link' can only be shipped to the United States" at checkout after putting in address

        • They might be catching onto international purchases, Sorry.

    Bought it for 58 USD delivered months ago from Amazon. It even came with Cs:go back then. How's this a deal?

    Title: "Steam Controller - US $64.98"
    Body: "They are normally $50USD each."

    So… the price went up?

    • Yeah this is super confusing

      US$64.98 includes shipping.
      US$50 is the usual price without shipping.

      The shipping fees are stupidly high so if you were buying the controller for US$50 it would cost you a lot more than US$65 to get it here, even from Amazon.

      • US$64.98 includes shipping.

        At least it would IF it shipped here.

        • ?

          It does ship here. The OP purchased two.

  • Why would you want this?

    Honestly. Given the alternatives. Either use a keyboard and mouse, or a ps4/xbone controller

      It's to allow people to play mouse driven games (ie, games without native controller support) from a couch using something like a controller. Fairly limited market I'd say, but some people want it.

      • Agreed, it definitely has its use cases. I have one I don't have much of a use for it. That said I think it's a good fit for some people, but it depends on what you plan on playing. Personally I've been playing a lot of modern titles that all have xinput support anyway, and the xbone controller feels much nicer.

        That said, the Steam controller is well-suited to playing any games that don't offer any controller support (non-competitive strategy games, arcade, older games among others). You can tinker with so many different settings, use the trackpads as the mouse/scroll and buttons as other controls, etc. so there's a lot of utility in it. Of course, if you don't care about any of this then there's not much of a point to getting it.

    • Can I also add that activating the gyro combined with mouse look makes this a better controller than the PS4/XBone ones? Playing Tomb Raider, Rocket League and Overwatch with one of these and genuinely enjoying it much more than the XBone's controller.

      • Interesting use of the gyro.

        Personally I have only found gyro to ruin games so far (comment targeted at mobile gaming, vita, and wii-u)

  • I think I will just wait for the steam sales ;-)

  • I think I'll wait till official release in Australia, they are bound to be cheaper and will likely be improved by then too
