I was lucky and got one in the initial round. But if you have a Deck, it’s just the same controls in a smaller package so it’s not going to blow your mind. Unless you badly need those trackpads and gyro, it’s probably not going to change your gaming habits much versus an Xbox controller. In other words I love mine, but the novelty wore off fast, now it’s mostly just another solid gamepad with extra customization for Steam native titles.
Funny you say that- my old 360 controller started squeaking about a month ago.
I have 2 of the original steam controllers that I love but got suckered in to leaving them for my nephews to use, with my steam deck and dock, at my parent’s home.
The new SC is definitely a clear upgrade from both the old one and a standard 360 pad. I’d say it’s almost on par with the Elite 2 (as it should be for the price) so if you don’t have one of those you’ll probably be quite happy. Cheers.

Excited to hear that!
