Valve has released the Steam Controller, a new gaming peripheral designed to enhance control for digital distribution platforms. The device is available immediately at major retailers across the United States.
The controller features a specialized layout with two large touchpads and adjustable triggers that offer precise input for various game genres. Valve has not yet confirmed specific technical specifications beyond these core design elements.
Resellers have listed the Steam Controller for double and triple the standard retail price of $99 USD on secondary marketplaces. Bids started as low as $110, while Buy It Now prices reached up to $399.99 USD.
The product sold out at every retailer within one day of release before Valve announced they are working on restocking the controller with an update timeline pending.
Valve made a post on social media stating that it is working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon.
