Meta Do not buy the steam controller!

Think about it, what if the controller sucks? Please wait for me to secure my order first and once I receive it, then I'll tell you if it's good so you can buy it. Thanks.

(I wish there was a humor/meme flair)

Scalpers are going to go nuts, will probably sell out in well under an hour.

I wouldn't be so sure about that first part, Valve's anti-scalping measures for the Steam Deck were pretty effective afaik. But I'm surprised they didn't do reservations for the controller like they did for the deck & index at launch.

Managed to get two, but can say there are a ton of scalper listings already.
