You might have to wait a long time for your Steam Controller.

    I reserved on May 15th, and mine says 2027 ship date. “Some” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title.

      Seems valve really cocked up the launch if the first orders are going to take more than 6 months to fill.

        They got the first shipment of manufactured controllers - one estimate is around 40k based on some import data - and sold them out in minutes, then started taking backorders.
