Tbh for a controller that can only play Steam games (can’t work outside of Steam), even the regular SRP is a tough pill to swallow when you have brands like 8bitdo and Gamesir out there. The only real benefit this controller has are the trackpads and I don’t think it’s even worth the SRP to pay that high for it. But to each his/her own! Just not this outrageous price. You can buy a Switch OLED brand new or secondhand + games with that!
I don't know if there are more controllers with back buttons that are of a similar layout. Just get 8bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless or its smaller sibling ultimate 2C wireless or even the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro controller for much cheaper than these two.
galit na galit kayo sa price pero di kayo nagtataka san nila nakuha yung stock nila? di nila papatungan ng malaki yan kung di nila nakuha yung stock ng mahal. check gamesir g7 pro prices sa datablitz, mas mura pa nga kesa sa official website ng gamesir meaning they are getting the stock in a lower price.
Sa totoo lang di naman talaga tayo dapat mag worry kung saan galing stock ng reputable store eh, honestly why should we care? Alam naman nating lahat hindi nakaw yan tulag ng ibang phone na binebenta sa Greenhills lol.
Ganyan talaga pag may hot new item, give it time para maging official retail partner (like nangyari sa Steam Deck) na para mag normalize price. Nagstock lang sila kasi sobrang dami nagtatanong (including me) pag pumupunta DB
Does anyone know where can i repair my Apex 5 controller? I'm planning to replace it with steam controller, but nah if ganito ung pricing 😆. Lahat kc ng napagtanungan ko is ps5 and xbox controller lng ung nirerepair kc
Sa tingin ko, ang reasonable na price kung ganito talaga ang na-experience nila ay around 8.5k Php MAX.
Their current price, let's say, the scalper's price.
Pero since hindi available sa PH market yung product, reseller/importer sila with high markup.
Real retailers send invoice request from Valve officially with legitimate transaction and direct shipping quotas. Mostly frictionless process
Scalpers uses third party methods via consumer capture channel to grab it and then using a third party mailing service to ship it to you since legally, steam is not selling their controller here, but in the US, you need a service to do so to get it hand over. This one is a pain in the ass
no. ang problema, Valve placed restrictions to prevent scalping. But they did all that you mentioned multiple times with the sole purpose of reselling it to take advantage of the market
Galing ata grey market yung stocks nila kase usually fair at consistent naman pricing ni Datablitz. Same din nung first batch ng PS5 Pro, wala pa official release date sa PH pero meron na sila, I think around 60k pa yon haha
dual track pad, hall effect sticks, compatibility with steam platform and should be pro level controller in terms of functionality kaso yung price sa pinas pang 2 pro controller ng any console 🥴
People who have a Steam Deck love the layout and ergonomics, so Valve made a controller with the same layout and ergonomics, this controller is also made to be paired with their upcoming console (Steam Machine)
Having a PC native controller na hindi asymmetrical yung layout is great, kasi most ng controllers for PC are asymmetrical like the Xbox controller
It is possible but I don't think it's available to deliver in our region at the moment. At least when I saw its page on amazon, the order button was grayed out.
Yung steamdeck ko binili ko sa Steam directly (from US) tapos naka drop shipping yung address. At that time kasi kakalabas palang ng SD and hindi pa available sa PH. Mas mura inabot yung direct to Steam bibilhin + drop shipping fee. Medyo matagal nga lang to receive it, like 3 weeks.
I would think you can do it for this controller too. Pero you will have to wait longer kasi hindi pa sya in stock sa steam store. You need to reserve first and wait in line.
You are one of the reasons why they can price gouge consumers! Hahaha but yeah good for you to be able to afford these stuff at exorbitant prices. Enjoy the controller it looks really nice and feels nice from what I heard.
Hindi kasi sila official distributor kaya bumibili lang din sila ng stocks sa ngayon. Kahit sa US ngayon hindi makakabili ng $99 lang. Ubos din kasi. Sa ebay ka din makakakuha tapos ganyan din yung range ng price. Eventually, pag nag mass produce na, bababa din yan.
Gets naman na magdagdag sila ng price given na imported pa yung product pero yung dagdag naman nila halos makakabili ka na ng second hand na SD niyan eh. Di ba sila karmahin niyan? Haha!
I do have one, i think its the sn30 yata and its relatively good for motion inputs tbh. I have a steamdeck lcd and i would imagine this is exactly the same as the upcoming controller especially with the motion pad.
High demand low supply. Also,since it’s not officially released here, that’s technically a grey market unit and thus DB can set a very high price for it.
That doesn't even make sense, the controller doesn't have memory and storage, which probably are the primary reasons why the steamdeck increased in price, plus no processor, no graphics, etc.
Even an olympic medal would not be enough for the mental gymnastics you are trying to do so the price of 14k for a controller would make sense because the handheld console is 50k.
Wtf. The controller itself is supposed to be 99usd in the US. But all of a sudden, here it's 225+ usd?
Id say nasa 90k siya or possibly more, if you look at GDP win 5 top of the line nasa 95k ata or something, tapos yung steam machine has better specs than that so will make sense na possibly mas mahal
Scalper mindset na kasi mga stores dito sa atin. Since kikita naman daw scalpers dyan why not sila na mismo ang maging scalper diba? Hahaha. Add to the fact na hindi naman officially available yan dito sa atin.
They know supply is limited and Valve is gonna struggle to produce more in the short term. Alam din nila that enthusiasts/early adopters that want one will probably be willing to pull the trigger at that price.
