Steam Controller

I doubt they will, considering that the steam controller doesn’t get any firmware updates that require changes it doesn’t really need any significant amount of maintenance to keep supporting, its unlikely that valve would have any reason to even discontinue it fully unless they ever make some major

Apart from all the technical differences mentioned in the other reply, their software solutions also get regularly flagged as potentionally malicious or harmful. Whether that's real or just a digital signature issue, I'd be happy to pay $20-30 more just for the peace of mind of having a guaranteed s

I bought 4 Steam Controllers because the back piece kept breaking and they stopped selling replacement back pieces. I have a bunch of almost Steam Controllers in a box 😅 When they finally discontinued it, I had to learn to play with just the amount of buttons as everyone else.
