Discussion i think we need to stop pretending the premium you have to pay for this controller isn't absurd.

If it dies and you can't find a new one, message me. I have one and it is just sitting there collecting dust. I haven't been able to bring myself to sell it because it's so cool, but if I'm selling it directly to someone who I know is passionate about it and going to love the heck out of it, I would do it. It has somewhere between 10 and 20 hours of play on it I think. I still have the dongle as well.

Hopefully not for years to come, and I appreciate the offer. It’s so comfortable, and I really appreciate the back grip buttons. Especially in space/flight games.

Space/flight games are my jam. I've got 3,000 hours or so in Elite Dangerous, which is one of the places I used this controller. I find the new steam controller to be better for it because I set up a bunch of radial controls on the dual pads that allow me to get into all of the various menus, deploy heat sinks, cargo hatch, etc. That said, that right track pad is still pretty awesome.

Flight games! Great idea. I use mine for a surprising amount of navigation when couch gaming on my retro setup. It’s great for DS, and good for most everything else.

And I have your backup for after that lol. I’ve basically never used it because it just wasn’t for me. I do need to figure out where I stuck my dongle though.
