There's a lot of people who swear by these things - I suspect there might be a few people who end up stockpiling them. They're interesting controllers, and work well for people who don't like traditional gamepads, but the one I have didn't quite spin my wheels like I thought it would, so it's got A LOT of dust on it.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

US/Canada/EU only seems like.

EB Games is the retailer here and they’re still at $88

They’re fun to configure and mess around with. Massive customisation potential with Steam input, very accurate gyro and trackpads.

They’re certainly not your traditional controller so to those expecting an experience like your regular ps/xbox I wouldn’t recommend.

I will say there will be big demand for these since components for these can be used for VR, the dongle can be reprogrammed and the trackpads can be used to repair htc controllers as they are similar.
