    I hear you but the previous steam controller was also only $60 like regular controllers. And Valve typically don’t have good margins on hardware, so it would surprise me if SC2 was suddenly super expensive. I could always be wrong, I mean it’s not like Valve have released a lot of hardware so the sample size is very smol.

      Even cheaper when they were selling the Steam Link at discount, I think it was $30 for the link and controller? I dont remember. I bought one, barely used the link, just used the controller.

        Argh the Steam Link is the one piece of valve hardware I regret not getting, though it’s basically been entirely outclassed by the Steam Deck

      I think the price depends on which market they are going for. The Switch converts who want to dock a deck to their TV, or the Xbox Elite, high end precision “best of the best” hardware crowd.
