To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.

Oh, I hadn't even noticed that. That's one thing I like about the XBox controller I have, takes standard batteries. The playstation controllers, though, those have built-in batteries with about a 2 year lifespan as best I can tell, which SUCKS. Thanks for pointing that out!

    I think otacon239 is remembering the controllers for the Steam Frame, which have an AA each

    The Steam Controller was listed as an ~8Wh Li-ion

    That's what I was thinking (i.e. rechargeable battery not AA), but I wasn't 100% sure. Either way, I'm in the market for a new controller and Steam seems to be working on a great option that ticks all the right boxes for me as long as the price is reasonable enough. It kind of has an Xbox form factor but the more symmetrical d-pad / analog stick placement of a PS controller, so best of both worlds in my opinion.
