Tariffs, component volatility, and Valve’s tolerance for losses all lead to uncertainty.

The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

      The original steam controller was $50, I would hope they’d be able to keep it under $100.

      Not to mention a steamdeck is $400, and that’s got a lot more going on than just a controller.

          I mean the original controller had gryo, track pads, USB dongle and Bluetooth, haptics, and buttons on the back.

          However, I do agree the controller felt cheap (I think really just how light it was).

          We’ll have to see. I think they could pull it off as they’ve been more aggressive with pricing than other companies.
