Here’s my confession: I will rarely use it and never sell it. It’s my second true collector’s item, much like the original. I’m perfectly happy with mouse and keyboard, I just want to own one for the sake of it.
Same. I had an OG controller a long time ago and HATED it and got rid of it. But like a year(?) before the new controller was announced I kinda wanted one again to play with. Not long after I found one at the thrift store and was IMMEDIETLY reminded how much I hate it. But I’m not going to get rid of it because it’s a unique piece of tech. One I detest using, but unique and interesting.
The OG controller and Steam Deck are both sort of this way for me. Despite rarely using them, I never intend to sell them. My desktop just spoils me too much.
I expect having the new controller will actually encourage me to use the Deck more often though. Right now, starting a new game on the Deck feels like committing to the lesser experience due to not wanting to jump between control schemes. Having control parity fixes that.

Getting the launch version is the cherry on top.
