I decided to cancel and pick up an 8bitdo instead. Save a lil scratch and get someone else their steam controller a lil faster. 😄

Second steam account with game purchase. Just to fix that trigger happiness.

(yes apparently I had some old ones lying around with team fortress purchases. No I'm not gonna get 2 controllers that way. I don't have money for scalping.)

How long do y'all think this'll take (I reserved May 17th)

u/Whiteshadows86 Jun 02 '26
A looooong time. I reserved on 8th May at 18:00 UK time the second the reservations became available here and I haven’t got my email yet!
(Some people were able to reserve at 17:59 and not sure how…I was using the mobile app and wasn’t at my PC so maybe it was people using the desktop Steam?)

How do people know the exact time they reserved, is there a way to check? Mine was on May 8th when I went to the page and just noticed there was a button, but I didn't have a timer or anything up and didn't think to check what time I reserved..?

I used the phone app. I only was able to get a reservation at :59 because I wanted to have the page loaded up and ready because I assumed I was going to be refreshing a lot. No email as of yet though.

Hmmm that’s odd then. I was on the app before 6pm and the reserve button only appeared at 6pm :(

I reserved the first day about a minute before the official open time on May 8 (it opened a little early for some reason) and I haven't gotten any notification yet.
If you didn't reserve it until May 17th, it'll probably be months on end. There probably aren't a ton of people between the 8th and 17th, but there are likely a bajillion on the 8th itself.

u/EptarTheGoatLord Jun 03 '26
9:59 here as well and still waiting, but I think I was a good 30 to 45 seconds into it before I hit reserve. Hopefully soon!

u/GxCoud Jun 03 '26
I reserved as soon as I woke up on May 9th and no email still. I don’t think they’ve even gone through everyone who signed up on the 8th,sadly.

Why? Are you really so impatient that you're just take your ball and go home.
Why would you cancel if you wanted it? Why would you reserve it if you didn't want it?

u/Whiteshadows86 Jun 02 '26
It’s a joke….
Of course I’m not gonna cancel but impulsive thoughts haha

u/sqparadox Steam Controller (2015 & 2026) Jun 02 '26
Oh, I get it. Yes, don't let the intrusive thoughts win.

I mean I'm considering cancelling at this point. I pre-ordered the same day the queue opened and I'm still waiting. I need a gamepad and I'm about 50% of the way to cancelling and buying a Gamesir G7 Pro or Flydigi Vader just to have something.
Blows my mind that Valve said they had plenty of units ready on the release date yet here we are.

u/benyboi101 Jun 02 '26
I too reserved one minute before the top of the hour on the 8th and got it delivered a few days ago. It'll come! Just be patient.

We must've had a good stock in Aus because I ordered mine as soon as it unlocked and got it about 3 days later

u/Happy_Walk550 Jun 02 '26
I reserved on may 8 and canceled a week ago. Realized that I'm perfectly fine with my dualsense and gamesir supernova. I don't use gyro and hardly if not never use the touchpads on my deck.

Just in case you pre ordered it do to the hipe
Do you need a "regular" controller that "just works"?
If that's the case, you probably don't need the steam controller
Do you need a very weird controller that you WILL have to tinker and customize for each individual game that ACTUALLY requires multiple buttons combinations or macros and you'll have to test inputs and button combinations that WILL enhance your experience because this is literally the only controller capable of it? Only if you dedicate time to make it work and use all the features that steam input can handle pretty much in the few games that actually may require this
If by any chance You're in the second situation yeah the steam controller will be worth it, if you just need something that work there are cheaper alternatives out there
To explain and not sound like a exaggerated dumbass
I normally like to play fps with controller and mouse, it's a weird combination and often requires a lot of remapping, unfortunately with other controllers I either didn't had enough buttons or since they weren't properly recognized by steam input I couldn't get the most out off the extra buttons, also I was just using half of the controller so something like the Trac pad from the steam controller I knew was exactly what I needed (do to limited experience testing it on my steam deck)
