Comment on Steam is now allowing users to reserve a 2nd Steam Controller

  Quite good, so far. To be honest I haven't got around to game that much so I'm still to try it to its full potential, but I can already say that it's super nice and comfortable. If I had to I'd certainly wait until December to get it and not get carried away and buy another (like I was tempted to do), unless you need a controller sooner or see another one that you like better, idk.

    Thanks for sharing! I can wait, I’m not in a rush fortunately. We are in the middle of a renovation, so time and energy for gaming is limited anyway. Nice to see you are enjoying it, have fun!

  I half wonder if it’s regional, I reserved mine when that went up and mine showed up a few weeks back, it shipped out of the states though so idk.

  If you have a steamdeck, layout is close but it’s way more comfortable to use the trackpad. Rear buttons are a lot nicer than the ones of the deck. It feels closer to the oled deck stick wise, I have a lcd one which I swear has way farther travel. I haven’t figured out what to do with the grip inputs yet, not super sure how useful they’ll be for me to be honest but cool it’s there.

  Small things and totally software that I appreciated, noticed that the back buttons are one by default with it, maybe that’s across the board now, was a small but appreciated change because I was always having to turn that on. Also like that steam input can ignore trackpad inputs if you’re touching the sticks.

    Could be, I’m living in Europe.

    I don’t own a steamdeck, so I can’t compare it to thay. But sounds good to me from what you are telling. I’ll patiently await my turn to order one.

      I'm also in Europe, and the other commenter said theirs 'shipped out of the states' so I'm guessing they're not American either. I got it reserved as soon as it went up, so more likely that one day of difference in getting into the queue is the cause for the massive difference.

        Yeah, seems more than likely. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to reserve on the 8th, so that’s my punishment for not being permanently online I guess. But it could be worse, at least I’m still in the second order window (the other is in September), the third is a window in 2027 which has yet to be determined. So good luck to whomever got pushed to that one.
