Steam Controller is apparently 5 bucks on Steam. I can't order due to being in Canada. Anyone who will send me one will get any game gifted to them up to $60 bucks. I would like 2 controllers.

Edit: whatever the controller costs you, plus the shipping, i will double. My only other option is $140+ off Amazon. I also have access to a p.o. Box in Blaine if that helps.

I bought a Steam Controller on launch day from EB games, but they don't carry it anymore. No-one in Canada has for years now. One of my buttons no longer works, and I can't go back to other controllers now.

I'll order you one and you can just reimburse me once shipping to you is figured out, no need to buy me a game.

edit: It's looking like I might be able to just ship it to your PO Box in Blaine, according to the order screen I don't see why not?

Ok dude, please order. I'm good for it. Let's talk in pm.

Good guy riotous

Don‘t forget about your old pal when baseball season rolls around.

Seriously though, pretty cool of you to do this.

BikeJesus · « **Reply #4 on:** November 26, 2019, 06:07:12 PM »

I really appreciate it. I'll pm you my address in Canada. I'll either send you double the money, or gift you whatever you like of equal value.

Thanks for being awesome, riotous.

I just came in to say that I've always thought mine was a great purchase, easily one of my favorite controllers for certain games if they have a good community configuration. Love using it for both Endless Space 2 and MGSV. The price is an insane steal.

Edit: goddamn it i'm high as fuck and didn't read that you already had one.

Best controller I've used in 30 years of gaming, and I was a console babby up until late in college, had everything up until the Xbox 360. Steam Controller has no equal.

BisMarckie · « **Reply #7 on:** November 26, 2019, 07:01:07 PM »

I ordered one, 13 bucks including shipping to Germany. Worth a try for that kind of money I guess.

kingv · « **Reply #8 on:** November 26, 2019, 07:27:21 PM »

I could never get used to it. I tried and tried, but I just could not get used to the touch pads.

toku · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2019, 07:58:04 PM »

The only games where I couldn't get it to feel quite right and wish I had a controller was twin stick shooters. I might order another one since I think the stick on my current one is going.

To any new to the controller I highly recommend the subreddit. It's actually really positive and helpful and this thing relies heavily on figuring what works for you and what kinda game:

This. Prepare to be disappointed. I'm one of the original beta-testers (still have their launch e-mail) and I could never figure out the secret sauce for it that made it better for shit over regular controller controllers. Hell, ever since they opened the Steam controller API to the Dual Shock/X-box controllers, there's very little need for the Steam controller at all.

Edit: AHAHAHAHA, speak of the devil:

Yep, Steam Controller touch pads are garbage-tier for controlling games that require a d-pad. Easily the worst controller I have ever used as far as 2D gaming is concerned, and I own an Atari Jaguar.

The touch-pads are fine for mouse-movement. But a lot of games that you'd want to use this for don't really work with it. And the ones that do (FPS, RTS, etc, mouse-likes) aren't really meant to be played casually/couch-wise. Sure, you can play a PC FPS on the couch, but mouse-speed on the controller (unless you spend a lot of hours tweaking it) isn't going to be as fast/accurate as an actual mouse.

Could anyone really use about $18 in Steam Wallet cash?

After his Canuckucks converted to Patriotcoins and I bought myself RDR2 had some left over.

Would rather pay it forward than spend it, I already got about $10 more than I spent.

Let me know, we will need to Steam friend each other and than 3 days later I can send it.

Just save it for the Steam sale in April, dude. I'm sure there is some cheap $10 game you might find of interest then.
