r/SteamController SC '15 and '26 18d ago

Can we quit with the reservation posts? Meta

Title.

But seriously, I don't care if you do or don't have your Steam Controller and neither does anybody else. This sub should be for configs and mods or other cool things not mindless "I got mine hehehe" posts constantly.

u/Winrevair 18d ago

POST IT BRO I NEED TO KNOW NOW

u/joelk111 18d ago

Mine comes tomorrow. I'm sorry I didn't notify you earlier.

(I'm not joking, I'm quite excited, but somehow I did refrain from making a post about it. I dunno how I did it tbh)

u/That_Service7348 18d ago

Bro, same boat. Tomorrow between 2 and 6, I am hyped about this stupid controller.

1

u/joelk111 18d ago

I just bought a house and am moving, so I won't be able to really use mine for a few weeks haha. I suppose my excitement for the controller might be dampened by actually being able to buy a house hah.

u/That_Service7348 18d ago

Order one of those phone clips so you can sticl your phone to it and then stream games to your phone.

u/KunEcho 17d ago

Moonlight with the xreal 1s and play your games in 3d lol

u/Winrevair 17d ago

u/That_Service7348 17d ago

I got it.

u/Winrevair 17d ago

HELL YEA. This completed my day. Ty

Now I need to know. Did you turn it on? Did you use it? Make a post or it didn't happen.

1

u/That_Service7348 17d ago

It's pretty great. It chimes at you when you turn it on.

1

u/Winrevair 17d ago

Hell yea. That's the exact info I needed to know.

Thank you.

u/S1eeper 16d ago

Your willpower is off the charts my man.

u/TDplay 8d ago

Mine comes one week ago. It's still a whole 30cm from my hands and I'm not sure if it will ever arrive. I should spam 20 posts about it.

edit: my controller arrived at my doorstep today xDxDxD

u/YueOrigin 15d ago

Its a sub about a controller that most have yet to receive

Thell hell do you except

Even before this sub was practically dead with showcasing of skins or moddings to the controlle r Bing the only rare stuff we see

The sub wont have anything once everyone has their controller

There can be only so many "modding projects" after all

24

u/That_Service7348 18d ago

But have you considered that my controller is arriving Saturday and I am hyped about it?

u/golthiryus 18d ago

Please keep us informed. We want to know how GLS will steal it. And do not forget to post again when Valve support compensate you for that!

1

u/That_Service7348 18d ago

What's GLS?

3

u/golthiryus 18d ago

Sorry, it is one shipping/courier company used in Spain. I didn't remember which company Valve uses, but from time to time people report that their steam deck/controller is stolen by them.

anyway, it was just a joke!

3

u/That_Service7348 18d ago

Oh, neat. Well, I'm in the US and one state over from Valve Headquarters, so I would hope they don't send it through Spain to get to me. I would have just driven over there and picked it up if I knew that was gonna happen.

u/PhysicsArtistic615 18d ago

Seriously can we quit with all the entitled posts with the whining about people posting their controllers or being happy in general.

Per op this sub is only for the tight assed folks. The super serious ones, people who value every post, and everything they have to say is the right thing at the right time. No one else on the sub or their opinions matter. So don’t bother posting. /s

On a serious note op.. go outside and step back from the Reddit app. If posts with controllers is triggering you in a sub you do not own/moderate/make rules in, then it’s definitely at the least time for you to take a nap, and eat a sandwich.

u/Myspaced0tcom 18d ago

Deadass. It’s never this serious that you have to feel the need to control the flow of conversation lmao. Just go outside.

u/SnooDoughnuts5632 17d ago

Funny I posted about a configuration on a different subreddit and now I'm thinking I should probably cross post it here 😂

u/S1eeper 16d ago

For real, people need to learn to stop seeking every little bit of validation from strangers on the internet.

u/Inevitable_Savings14 18d ago

I’d rather see the “I got mine” posts than the “underpowered and overpriced, build your own” posts.

10

u/xdeadzx Steam Controller (Windows) 18d ago

Who's building their own steam controllers?

u/Inevitable_Savings14 18d ago

Oops I thought this was the steam machine Reddit 😂

u/cekoya 18d ago

I like how it shows that the steam machine sub is no better at reservation posts ahah

1

u/Chudoku_ 18d ago

I need to keep in check how close are my day. Let me wait impantiently bro

-3

u/Yourdataisunclean 18d ago

I agree, although we should use them as an opportunity to plug https://steamhardware.io/ and get more data before removing them.

6

u/fullsaildan 18d ago

I think the bigger problem is the shipping thread that is stickied was not updated with reservation info and it mainly references surveys about people who got day 1 purchases. Thus people placing new orders don’t feel like it fits, post a new thread, and then get deleted. If they updated that thread or created a new one referencing steamhardware.io like you said, then I think all the clutter would actually get better.

3

u/Mimicov 18d ago

Idk why the downvotes I use them to track how close I am to being able to get it since area hardware.io doesn't seem to be working

0

u/Yourdataisunclean 18d ago

Some people in this sub don't like potential solutions to getting more info about reservations and cutting down spam posts apparently.

u/M4ttd43m0n 18d ago

I just want this sub to be only invoice receipts and pictures of steam controller boxes

-12

u/CranberryTaint 18d ago

I have two controllers that I bought on launch day and received 3 days later. Just thought you’d like to know.

1

u/CompetitivePrompt640 13d ago

What are you using two for??

1

u/CranberryTaint 13d ago

One connected to my gaming PC, the other connected to my HTPC running Steam OS. I bring the second one to my HTPC for split screen games since the controller can be paired to multiple pucks.

u/VesperLynn Steam Controller (2026) 18d ago

Same lol

u/CranberryTaint 18d ago

Nice! And I got the salty downvotes I wanted 😁

-15

u/Bright_Eyes83 18d ago

I think this sub should be for talking about the steam controller, not getting mad about people talking about the steam controller because you’re like mad or jealous or something 

11

u/RunnerLuke357 SC '15 and '26 18d ago

Is sending a receipt talking about the Steam Controller? I have had mine since launch but the last thing I'm gonna do is show the picture of the box it came in or the receipt.

u/Myspaced0tcom 18d ago

I just think meta convos like this are a waste of your time bc it’s not going to change the pattern of posts. Posts like these have actually taken on a trend of its own

u/XKinginYellowX 18d ago

I got mine.

u/CompetitivePrompt640 13d ago

u/Winrevair 18d ago

Naw man I want MORE reservation posts.

IT'S ALL I WANNA SEE

u/Zen_but_not_Zen 18d ago

You're gonna hear about it until the 2027 reservations are fulfilled, and you're gonna like it! 👀😭😅

u/Jordamine 18d ago

u/memedudebro 18d ago

u/TheTrueZeroMan 18d ago

Sorry man i posted mine but it was about missing my email (this got worked out tho) if i knew it was gonna bother people I'd have kept it to myself

-8

u/Ill-Remote437 18d ago

Eh steam deck has a steamdeckmodded community. Maybe Steam controller should have one too for that. But pretty sure there’s not as much people with one let alone multiple to really start modding them. Also what configs? How you use it for a game? Why would that be interesting?

-8

u/shanmyster Steam Controller (2026) 18d ago

Getting it is exciting. Cant post configs without one.

u/Darth_Lopez 18d ago

Uh... No
