I've actually got it now tho

thank you volvo 💖

Okay can we please get a steam deck restock? Like I get it new hardware is cool. But the one thing you have built this hardware around is not available. Should of put your ram towards the Deck before new hardware.

I stayed patient and I’m surprised I managed to secure mine! Can’t wait to use it!!

Please add Norway. Come on Valve! It’s more than ten years now, we have to import for ourselves for a big premium to get any of your gear.

Why didnt you do the down payment thing like you did with the deck?

I was working at work and missed it :( Have fun everyone else. And scalpers can get spartan kicked off bottomless cliff.

Make sure you include some stickers, eh, don't be cheapstakes. hehe. (:

What good is the "Wishlist" if I didn't get a notification when it was available? I'd have bought it immediately if I'd known. End of the day, out of stock aready.

Managed to snag mine ~2 mins before release, looking forward to testing those comfy big back buttons and the pads! Fingers crossed that the Frame is next and that my trigger finger is as capable when the time comes xD Will be grabbing the machine as well for fam, tho price dependent

Given it's near instant sell out, can you give details on when physical stocks will return?

Awwww...

Next up, Steam Machine. Afterward…hopefully…Half-Life 3.

The Deck wasn't stressful at all, you had a couple of days to reserve it with a couple of moneys while the Index was different story.

Literally worked for me after about 10 minutes of mashing.

Thank you brother/sister; I humble myself in praise of you.

I’m doing that now. It keeps hanging for like 10 seconds before erroring me.

I was unfortunately at work since it was at 1pm on a Monday. Checked at 1:30 and already sold out lmao

The trick is to buy the least popular configuration. Read: the most expensive one.

I had a medical appointment an hour ago and it's already out of stock lol

Feedback for any future launch - replace this message for: "Spam continue until it works lol"

i still have the og steam controller, lmao. great piece of hardware imo

you should probably go back to doing pre-orders so you can actually judge how many you need to make and let people actually be able to buy it without having a single hour to spam "continue" to win the server stress lottery

unless your fingertips are on the wrong place! ha!

Thanks for allowing scalpers to ruin this whole thing, great job guys 👍

Could you kick your payment processor? Seems like they have fallen over! (Valve side is working just fine from the looks of it)

valve always undersells their worth, plus the controller is gonna be great for diy iptv and other things

The Frame will be quite expensive so it's hopefully more calm.

Honestly I had no idea anyone cared, I got mine at a big discount years ago.

Gotta collect em all!

this is misinfo. the steam controller is currently not for sale as it is out of stock. please don't spread misinfo valve.

Everyone ordering trying to order be like

Smh, of course nothing works. Goofy.

Anything but making a new half life game

Product consumed!

Valve, please let me put down a deposit so I have a place in line! I don't want to have to wait an indefinite period before scalpers beat me to the punch again!

It is already out of stock and scalpers are already selling pre orders for 230 usd

Any plans to deal with the infestation of Nazis all over Steam's discussion boards and reviews, or are y'all just going to keep on hoping nobody notices?

It wont let me buy it! There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

Planning

That thing went out of stock quickly! I’m glad I got mine!

valve, please, i’m begging on my hands and knees, open up backorders so i can at least get a spot in line to get it. i got the payment error for 20 minutes before stock ran out :(

Thanks but I already got one few years ago!

Don't buy scalped controllers or you are the problem. Full stop. "No cap" as the kids today say. "Periodt" as their now aging gen Z parents who are beginning to learn what being old feels like used to say.

Breaks checkout every time, huh?

Sold out (Canada), congratz

I think I preferr to play 100million dollar games like Barron.That way I'm rewarded for my time....Link in Bio.

Fuckin can’t. Fix your shit.

one of these days we'll live in a society with hardware preorders. one day 😇

Hopefully the restock isn't super far away!

I couldn't fucking order one today. For half an hour I tried. It kept giving me "problem with your transaction" error with PayPal and even with my Debit card. I know I have the money. You fuckers owe me a damn controller.

How can a company with as much money and as many resources as Valve screw this up this badly? This happened with the Steam Deck and you learned NOTHING. Countless existing customers have wasted hours trying to buy this damn controller and got nothing. Now scalpers are selling them for $200+.

£85?! Hell no.

Got two!!

You told me to wait a few minutes and try again. You told me that right up until it was out of stock. Losing out because I tried to follow the directions is not a good feeling.

That was fast. I guess keep us alerted for when restocks happen.

there is already people scalping....way to go valve

This isn't the day you said it was going on sale. Not cool

Already out of stock 😭 I had hoped the delays meant you guys had used the time to properly stock up.

Whilst I personally appreciated being able to put two in my cart I'm kinda worried if that make the scalper situation worse or not

Something worthwhile? In this economy?

Couldn't buy it due to errors now its out of stock :<

After 25min, I was able to order it.

"made to play all your games on steam" Wrong! Made to be scalped

Nice. I look forward to seeing how it stacks up to my tried and true OG Steam Controller. :)

Please fix the issues before the steam frame launches valve please im begging you im on my knees.

out of stock </3

Ran into several errors before I was able to put my order in, I REALLY hope the Machine and Frame have the reservation system for preorders that the Deck had

Got any ten year payment plans for the overprized plastic ?

Spam that continue button for a few minutes and through to payment! Good luck everyone!

Scalpers are already selling them for twice the price.

Expensive but I can see where it went. I'll grab one.

Got mine ordered!

A small part of me is laughing at people struggling to give away their disposable income. The other 90% of me is sad because I want one too but $100 is just a little too much to spend rn. If they keep up production and it eventually goes on a steam sale I'll be there though.

Any chance you got a local pickup option? Because I can come up almost any day and just grab mine.... please?

Can´t buy in Brazil...

Thanks for linking to the store! Oh, what is this, I see?

Well looks like I'll be dealing with support to get a refund for my wallet because you're now out of stock :\ Steam deck all over again dammit.

many are doing this

Transaction never finished and now out of stock. Not ideal.

I’d love to buy but steam wont let me

pro tip: buy a knock-off xbox controller. it's cheaper and at the warehouse.

Insane posture on all these povs

I got mine for 30€. I see they’ve replaced the haptic pad with a second stick.

I'm trying to buy it

no controller is worth 100 dollars

Scalpers seem to have gotten alot of the stock. Tons up for sale on ebay but already out of stock on steam

Hey, this got botted like crazy and I wasn’t able to get an order in, when are you expecting to do a restock on these?

Same. Such BS.

Even worse, mine completed and then it was cancelled.

Bro I'm trying, I have the money just please accept my purchase request.

Aaaaaagh!!! Dualsense can get sometimes at 1700Mex, with those I wait for sales, it does go down to 1100Mex sometimes, I will definitely wait till the Steam C. drops on a sale.

Yeah, not until my current controller dies will I pay $150 for a controller.

Was in immediately at 10, just got error message after error message till even it showed sold out. Very shitty experience. I hope you guys figure out a queue system cause this was terrible.

Absolutely dogshit launch. You had such a good a system for the deck when it came to slowly rolling out purchases, why would you go back to something this server heavy when you already know the payment page can't handle it? The scalpers are happy ig.

hell yea!

I did. I'm pretty sure by now I'm fucked.

Just want to say I was about to give up when I saw they were out of stock, but when I saw your message I kept at it, was able to get one. Just want to say that your my hero today lol.

Can you please restock sooner than 1 month

hi valve can you send cease and desists and other lawsuits to scalpers thank you

This post is how I found out about this, and now I want one. (Yes, on linux, too. I probably show up in your stats as Windows more often than not, but I'd love to make that number drift downnnnn :))
