Steam Controller sold out in half an hour - now it's being resold for 4 times the price
Some entrepreneurs have already become active and are trying to profit from the interest in the device.
On May 4, Valve officially started selling the Steam Controller. The device was priced at $99 and sold out in about half an hour.
However, not everyone bought it for personal use. Soon, ads for selling the Steam Controller began to appear online.
On various marketplaces, such as eBay, prices for the device can reach $400+. Some entrepreneurs are selling the original Steam Controller (2015) in its packaging for this amount or slightly less.
The Steam Controller features magnetic sticks (TMR), 4 vibration motors, and an 8.39 Wh battery, which should provide over 35 hours of gameplay on a single charge. In addition, the kit includes the Steam Controller Puck:
One device, two jobs: this wireless transmitter provides a fast and stable connection for your Steam Controller. It's also a charging station that magnetically attaches to the controller with a satisfying click. Do you prefer to use Bluetooth or USB? The Steam Controller supports them too.
In Russia, some stores also opened pre-orders — the cost ranged from 19,990 rubles to almost 26 thousand rubles. It is unknown how long it might take for devices to be delivered to Russia.
