Day one buy when it's available in my region. My original steam controller was amazing until the wireless adapter crapped out (plus its Bluetooth mode was not great, sadly) and the A button membrane broke. I even tuned that fucking thing to play 2d platformers competently, let alone shooters with gyro aim. I missed it.

My Steam Deck has been rock solid and I've wanted something with an identical layout for my PC and docked Deck since it released. I can't wait

    My original Steam Controller is still kicking, but the thumb stick pad has eroded away. Really want to replace the stick if I can 😓

    You can pop off the joystick after opening up the controller and replace it with either the 8bitdo joystick or steam deck joystick. Whatever is cheapest. This video shows shows the process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH8CmCkltzY

    Ooh! Thank you, friend! Think I’ll take a crack at this soon then!

    Finally got around to doing the replacement and it fit great. I just had to clip the wire that's intended to be used for the capacitive stick function on the Deck before popping it on.
