I do have to complain about the price: Not that it’s $99 USD, but that it’s $149 CAD and not $136 CAD. That’s an extra $14 over FX for what exactly? I still have to pay the shipping… kinda shitty of Valve there.
I don’t mind this for $136 CAD because I have a pile of 2 broken PS5 controllers ($120 wasted — though now the price is $104 each so I guess it’s a $210 comparable) and a pile of dead Joy Cons, and frankly, controllers from the big companies are steaming piles of e-waste.
With the fancy quantum magnet sticks and having fancy magnet triggers, and having a bluetooth pairing/switching process that isn’t archaic, this feels like it’s worth buying. If only you could buy more pucks, because I would want one for my gaming computer and one for my partner’s computer given how easy pairing is (right now my partner uses a Nintendo Pro controller with cable, because bluetooth on that thing is weird — even some linux distros don’t pair with it still).

Import fees maybe? Tariffs on products from the US?
