I agree that hardware-wise it's a few years late to the party, but I suspect it will find it's niche. If valve manage to sell out a recently overpriced deck and seriously underestimate the demand for an overpriced controller, who's to say this won't at least pay its bills? Besides, it's an interesting device, it's customizable and mildly upgradeable, and it has a draw to it. After initially seeing news of it I remember instantly thinking "gotta buy one, even at 500-700€" and only later thinking "wtf kind of use do I have for it". Anyway, time will tell.

an overpriced controller

Premium controllers often cost $200+.
