I got my reservation in the first 2-5 minutes of them being available. My spot in line came up about a week ago, and it showed up yesterday. Enjoying it so far, I have big hands and it fits quite well. The "cheaper feel" every reviewer refered to is actually just that it is kinda light for a wireless controller (compared to my Xbox elite series 2 that it is replacing), which is a win for my wrists imo. The plastic feels the same as my steam deck oled. And for those asking yes it has the same "steamdeck smell" that is impossible to describe but rather pleasant. Hope they manage to get through the queue fast for those that want one!
interesting. don't some controllers have weights inside them to simulate that "heavy" feel anyway? I seem to recall that weight being mostly psychological and not due to required components
I have known cheap imported tech to do that. But I haven't heard of a first party product doing that in a long time. Either way I'm glad they didn't, less strain on my wrists 😄
