Comment on Steam controller price

Probably the same as a DualSense; around $70-80.
Wouldn’t they cost more? I mean, they have hall effect sticks and 2 touchpads.
The previous one also had two touch pads and even better stick hardware than hall effect sticks; still cost no more than its contemporaries.
Is Hall effect the good one or like the Nintendo Switch and PS5 that wear out and require replacement?
Hall effect sticks are better than the potentiometer type sticks used in the Joycons and DualSense. They don’t nake contact with anything so they don’t shed material and wear out as easily.
Previous what? I was under the impression TMR was new technology…
The previous Steam controller for it’s one joystick.
