Important edit: The Steam Controller is not totally out of stock. They are toggling availability to limit orders. If you have not yet gotten one, continue checking the site.

Who all managed to get one?

Who’s with me in the “impatiently has to wait for them to return to stock” camp?

What excites you most about the Steam Controller?

    My hope is that the payment processor died because of demand, so they marked it as out of stock to try to work through the queue

    Edit: this seems to be the case. See my other reply

      Somebody on reddit posted a screenshot saying their reservation servers are overloaded. Since they’re the ones handling the queue of incoming orders and tracking that orders don’t exceed stock (atomic database stuff, etc) that’s absolutely going to get in the way of submitting orders.

      Can’t get to the order confirmation page if the server designated to gatekeep orders won’t respond
