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.

      Going on off the price of the dualsense edge we will be lucky if it is only a 100 bucks.

        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.

          Original Steam controller felt like it was made with really cheap looking materials to cut costs.

          This controller looks like the build quality is much more premium and has a lot of inputs and tech put in than the expensive Xbox Elite. The dualsense edge getting removable joysticks and grips raised the price too.

          So when its those controllers that this controller will be closer to in terms of features than the base Sony and Xbox controllers. Being only $100 would be a bargain.

          I would be happy if I was proved wrong. Please prove me wrong Valve.

        Ain’t no way. I got my steam deck during the first sale for around $330. There is no way their controller based off it will cost about half of something that came with a screen, soc, and bigger battery.

          Ps5 controller is like $70, the Steam Controller has more features than that, and the OG Steam Controller was pretty expensive. I’d be shocked if it’s under $100. I’m expecting it in the $150-$200 range. But we’ll see, I’d love to be proven wrong
