Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99
I went back to a post i saw about the controller bein $100 or more, and most of the comments were basically saying "first party controllers are usually overpriced, valve won't price their controller like that, that's why it'll be cheaper" with a lot of people suggesting it'll be $50 to $60. It's kin

Ultimate 2 Bluetooth latency is kinda bad
I am using this one with the Switch 2 and can't believe it has this much latency. I've tried every connection, Bluetooth, 2.4 and Wired, and feel no improvement. I am testing against the JoyCons and they have little to no latency, feels perfect.

Super cute 8BitDo controller
