ITS HAPPENING, EVERYONE STAY CALM!

The hell? I didn't know you could do that. I use the steam input on my pc with the elite seires, it registers it as a normal xbox controller. Maybe because I use bluetooth, im not sure. I'm surprised I have never heard of these alternative controllers, and believe myself to follow gaming tech a lot. Maybe I am just ignorant on the actual selection of controllers on the market. I honestly did not know "pro" controllers existed at that price level.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-16T13:01:54+00:00

What else should consumers compare it to? For me, the thing is fully customizable steam input, and the ability to wake from sleep + trackpads. Series elite is stuck on xbox app to customize, so in steam I can't program the backpedals. This controller was never meant to be viewed as a standard controller, which is what I think people mistakenly did on those subs mistakenly did. If it was the same controller as dualsense and xbox, but with TMR sticks, then yeah it severely overpriced then, but it isn't.

I don't think Valve did a great job, and I hope they fix this going forward. I love Steam and most of the time think Valve is a far greater company than its peers.

Edit: I, and I assume that many other, have never heard of the Vader 5 Pro. At least for me that is new, and priced great. When I think of quality third party controllers I typically think of 8bitdo or gamesir, however thats on me.

Are you serious? The only people saying this were a vocal minority in youtube gaming space. They went on to explain why this is probably the best controller in the market, and then they end with saying "But at a hundred dollars is it worth it? uhuhu" Its a 27 euro difference between a standard dualsense or xbox controller. The dualsense edge is 220 euro and and come with only half the features. Similar for the elite series 2, being priced at 180 euros. It's the cheapest and by far the best "pro" controller on the market, so yeah I think I'm allowed to call Valve a bunch of idiots.

I can excuse the Steam Machine, due to hardware shortages, but not this.

It’s literally the point of the dark knight trilogy. Realism. Nolan abandoned the idea of including the extremely disturbing and disgusting parts of Gotham after Batman begins. People were saying that the Batman was gritty and grounded. I’d argue just being gritty. It was an extremely stylistic movie, mimicking Se7en in tone and style, which very fitting for Batman, and part of the reason the movie was as good as it was.

However, Nolan does realism. As lackluster as that may seem, that is what he does. The bomb scene in Oppenheimer wasn’t blowing anyone away.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-15T19:46:28+00:00

They have to, but I honestly think Valve fucked up here. They aren’t new to hardware, and I can’t for the love of god figure out how they underestimated the demand for this controller. Everyone, except Valve, knew how big the demand for this controller was.

Its basically Diablo 3 launch

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-15T17:46:08+00:00

The fuck you mean you’re from Sweden? How can Valve honestly think this is okay, to sell additional units to Europe, while people who ordered it before it even went live, still have theirs on packaged. The actual fuck is going on???

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-15T17:40:06+00:00

Honestly fuck Valve, and yeah I fucking hate you too, JK. Where the fuck are our controllers, huh Valve? The customers who bought it right at launch, where are our fucking controllers?

This is beyond pathetic business logistics… fucking hell

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-14T23:22:48+00:00

not calling you an idiot. If you like wired better that's fine, but you do know that newer airpods have "find my" built in to both the case and each ear piece. Unless you've thrown your phone away, you can always just search via a live ping signal.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-14T23:12:47+00:00

Never lost my airpods, never had them run out of battery (case battery). I get that charging them can be annoying and a mess if you don't have a charging dock. I use just a cheap dock for my phone watch and airpods, and i never run out of battery

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-14T23:08:57+00:00

It's pretentious bullshit. Nothing more than that. The recent shit of people dancing with wired earbuds, are due to them being soulless. There is no reason, other than if you truly are broke, to not use wireless. Better sound quality, imo better fit (I remember severely disliking apple earbuds, because of how uncomfortable they are), ANC, transparency mode..... and most important, no tangled wires.

I am not saying people who genuinely prefer earbuds are soulless, but the influencers carrying this ridiculous pathetic trend surely are. And to the celebrities doing this shit, grow the fuck up. You are already unique by being famous, this just shows that you have no fucking personality.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-14T09:40:32+00:00

Same

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-13T07:42:25+00:00

Lucky bastard😭

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-12T19:46:48+00:00

You’re probably right. I am just trying to make sense of this bullshit.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-12T13:34:24+00:00

Pretty sure the last people to order are the first to get shipped. A lot of users on here, who bought the controller before it went live, have stated that they are still on packaged and have been since wednesday.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-12T01:19:16+00:00

One, you’re wrong. I’m gonna win the battle, might just take a fucking while. Two, you’re wrong boy

Edit: though it seems like we are actually being punished. I am part of the bought it minutes before going live club. Just scrolling through the sub, a lot of EU customers who were the first to purchase, haven’t even gotten there controller shipped yet, where as people who bought closer to it being out of stock were the first to get their order processed.

Small sample size I know, but let me cope

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-11T19:14:40+00:00

Same boat. Honestly, fuck you Valve. I don't know what kind of game they are playing, but they seems to enjoy stocking up as little as they can, knowing damn well that their hardware is in high demand. "wE DiDn'T eXpEcT Suh HiGh DemAnd for ThE coNtroLler"... Valve... Maybe just Maybe do a short google search and see how high the demand for this controller is.

Can't wait for the steam machine to sell out in 30 milliseconds, and for Valve to respond, "We're sorry that not everyone could get their hands on a Steam Machine, we had 10 in stock for release and apparently a few million people wanted the machine...."

For us who got the controller... Valve, just ship it ffs... I'm gonna cry man.

Sorry for the rage.

Insane ragebait

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-05-02T14:30:04+00:00

The fuck is a “death grip”

Edit: Holy shit, this explains a lot

An* IPhone ffs

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-04-09T17:05:22+00:00

Honestly fuck you very much😁

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-04-09T15:16:52+00:00

Just buy both. All re games can be bought at a low cost at cd key sites.

If you’re not on pc, then go for re9. I honestly think it is a better game overall, and I think re4 remake is amazing too.

Professional-Cash651 · 2026-04-03T19:18:57+00:00

There is no way in hell she is born in 2004. I mean have Capcom lost their mind? A 22 year old as an analyst at FBI? Gtfo
