Expensive, but I would 100% buy it if I had the money.

100 dollars? Fuck me.

Way too expensive for me. I'll stick with using my PS5 controllers.

I've been waiting with a broken controller for this, so luckily I saved 120 just in case they were absolutely asinine with it. Can't say I'm happy with the price, controls being more than 46-60 dollars is insane and even that is pricey imo. Nothing makes sense anymore.

It really doesn't! PS5 controllers were pricey at $70, much less the $75 they go for now. A month ago or so, I saw one at Walmart on sale for $55 and snatched it up, suspecting that the Steam controller would be too rich for my blood. Glad I did!

It's at least not as bad as a Switch 2 controller, which is $90 and supposedly doesn't even work wirelessly with PC.

99€, come on man. The euro is like 20% more than the dollar, why isn't it at least 90€

It's probably some US tax shenanigans, as they don't include it in their prices as far as I know
