Looking for a good wireless PC controller. I don't really want an XBox, Switch or PlayStation controller. Something decent quality that feels good but isn't over like, $150AUD

Fuck scalpers, I really wanted a Steam controller

The buttons feel great to me, they're normal except for the DPad which is clicky! If you don't like clicky on your dpad, don't get this!

The triggers are great, they have a switch in the back that lets you select either full analog motion or clicky short digital motion, extremely cool (you can use the trigger full motion analogy for, say, gas pedal on a racing game, and switch it to clicky digital for trigger in a shooter). When configured as analog, they're hall effect.

The buttons faces can be swapped as they're held there magnetically, either to swap the ABXY locations or to change them completely to just coloured button faces.

Nothing about the controller feels cheap to me, I suspect that has more to do with peoples' brainworms against stuff designed in china than against actual feel of the thing. I'm no expert but it feels great to me and, like, they didn't cheap out on anything else, why would they cheap out there??
