I’m still sitting here trying…
Edit: Out of stock. Fuck my life!
Hitting the Continue like I hit that cunt in you.
No such luck.
Apparently they’re toggling it back and forth between in stock and out of stock, so there’s still hope
Which region are you from? In Italy it’s available (although the shipping time went from 3-5 days to 6-10).
I expected to be trying for a while, but I got mine on my first try, just before the scheduled time (30 minutes ago). Pretty lucky.
Well, anyone who managed to get one, lemme know how the d-pad is on it. Is it better than the OG Steam Deck D-pad or the OLED D-pad? I changed my OLED d-pad to mechanical buttons, and it’s felt much more accurate for 2d platformers and fighters.
I got one and will try to post to this community with my thoughts after I receive it.
The dpad is also my biggest worry with it.
What did you do to upgrade your deck dpad? I would love to do that to mine too if it works well and isn’t too loud.
There are many YouTubers with reviews of this. They say the dpad still uses membrane but feels better than Steamdeck but still has a bit of cardinal slide.
I got one at 10:05, but I really had to mash through it. It was in my cart at 9:59, but I kept getting initialization errors at the payment stage.
I did it! Spamming “Continue” actually worked! Now let’s see when it gets delivered.
Nope, just went out of stock :(
I checked the page 2 mins earlier and was already purchasable. I managed to get it at 02, I got it probably with the first batch. Yay!
I hit continue about 200 times and it went through
It’s 2026 and we still don’t have the technology to support server demand surges like this in a way that is appealing to implement.
When I first saw such things happen over 20 years ago, I figured it was always incompetence. Now I know it’s just reality.
My order went through easily enough.
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.
Aaaaaaaand Europe is gone too.
I had to spam the button for some minutes before it finally went through. Keep trying!
Still have my og steam controller 😎
I gave my OG controller to the two year old next door. He loves pressing all the buttons while we play games
…And the site just updated to Out of Stock. Grats to those of you who managed to get a payment jammed through.
