Just got the email to complete my order for a Steam Controller! I reserved back in May and the page said my expected availability was 2027. Quite a nice surprise that one is available! Maybe production is starting to catch up to demand?

Ooooh. Thanks for the dose of hopium. What's your region?

I already have one but want one for player 2.

We got fast and lucky and got a family set at launch. They have been enjoyed. I like them better then the steam controller (I did not rename them the same, so don't blame me).

Good to hear the que is moving up.

What are you planning to play with yours? Any games or use cases in mind?

My favourite thing is the seamless control mapping between steam deck, steam controller, and recently the steam frame. I can just swap platform and keep my custom control bindings

North America, so what I would expect to have been one of the regions with the longest wait-list

Are you running Linux? Folks running Debian based distros have had issues updating the firmware to the controller and puck, the update script supplied by Steam requires Sudoers access and steam does not prompt for such access.

I documented my resolution to this as it is still persistent in the latest steam build.

Hey, that's me! I put the reservation for my second in June I think.

Nice. I love mine and I still use it everyday with my DIY bazzite "steam machine". It's expensive for a controller but totally worth it.

You made me check my inbox. Of course every single fucking Steam newsletter is in my proper inbox, but the ONE email I was expecting, my Controller reservation, got dumped into spam... and I'm just beyond the 3 day reservation period.

fuck.

Send an email to steam support explaining your predicament. They may be able to help you out.

Already done so, waiting on a reply
