Here's my confession: I will rarely use it and never sell it. It's my second true collector's item, much like the original. I'm perfectly happy with mouse and keyboard, I just want to own one for the sake of it.

Getting the launch version is the cherry on top.

  • Same. I had an OG controller a long time ago and HATED it and got rid of it. But like a year(?) before the new controller was announced I kinda wanted one again to play with. Not long after I found one at the thrift store and was IMMEDIETLY reminded how much I hate it. But I'm not going to get rid of it because it's a unique piece of tech. One I detest using, but unique and interesting.

    The OG controller and Steam Deck are both sort of this way for me. Despite rarely using them, I never intend to sell them. My desktop just spoils me too much.

    I expect having the new controller will actually encourage me to use the Deck more often though. Right now, starting a new game on the Deck feels like committing to the lesser experience due to not wanting to jump between control schemes. Having control parity fixes that.
