Why do you worry about affordability? Valves hardware has always been affordable. I would be very surprised if the controller costs more than $80

    Because I'm poor, currently spending a lot on my weight loss/general health improvement project, and already having a great controller for games with regular controller support (Razer Wolverine V3 Pro) makes it harder for me to justify spending a lot on one only for games that would otherwise require a mouse 😁

    I hear you but the previous steam controller was also only $60 like regular controllers. And Valve typically don’t have good margins on hardware, so it would surprise me if SC2 was suddenly super expensive. I could always be wrong, I mean it’s not like Valve have released a lot of hardware so the sample size is very smol.

    Even cheaper when they were selling the Steam Link at discount, I think it was $30 for the link and controller? I dont remember. I bought one, barely used the link, just used the controller.

    I think the price depends on which market they are going for. The Switch converts who want to dock a deck to their TV, or the Xbox Elite, high end precision "best of the best" hardware crowd.

    Well, affordable for the high quality they deliver, but not as competitively priced as some cheaper crap on the market. Yeah you get what you pay for, but you do have to expect to pay premium prices to Valve (for equally premium devices).
