    It’s a hyped-up piece of videogame hardware. I’m gonna guess half the sales were to scalpers planning to immediately resell at twice the price.

      It’s hyped because of the touchpads. And hall effect sticks

      That’s why I got it. Sold the dual shock, and Hoping to sell my Xbox controller too

        Yeah it does seem nice, and I didn’t say it’s OVERhyped. Just saying scalpers are always a big part of stuff like this.

        Almost every third party controller these days uses Hall effect or TMR.

        It’s hyped because it’s sTeAm and scalpers.

        I sweat they do this limited inventory on purpose for the news coverage
