Yesss, I'm happily sitting on my original one. Those things are great.

I thought you were supposed to hold it in your hands

Sometimes you gotta put those haptics to work.

Me too. Excellent controller.

Did not care for the right side touchpad but it worked well enough.

I really regretted only buying one the first time around. At least I got the backplate with the dongle storage.

You better jump on this one because there will never be a 3rd. 🥲

I'm sure they'll make a steam controller: episode 1.

I think I missed this perk, I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have it? I'll need to look again. Either way, the dongle vanished ages ago, so I guess it's moot...

I remember them making it available as an STL file for 3d printing but I never saw them selling it directly

It didn't ship with my controller, I had to order it extra. I looked it up and apparently they started shipping the backplate standard with the second run of controllers. Hopefully the new controller also uses a dongle, because good god do I hate Bluetooth. Being able to plug the damn thing in and have it work on any machine instead of faffing about with BT unpairing and repairing like I do with my Xbox controller is so nice.

I still use my Steam Controllers, have two. Will definitely be buying their new iteration.

I missed out on the original steam controller. Now that I've used the steam deck I will absolutely be picking up a couple of these.

Honestly loved my Steam controller. Not even sure what happened to it? I'd definitely buy another one though
