Following some compelling leaks it was confirmed overnight that Steam Controller will launch on May 5 in Australia. The price is AU$149, with free shipping direct from Valve’s Australian warehouse.

The Steam Controller has some pretty impressive features: the trackpads are a huge boon, but it also boasts TMR anti-drift analog sticks, four haptic motors, an advertised 35+ hours of battery life, and replaceable batteries. Based on Jacob’s review it’s a worthy piece of kit—especially if you’re like me and love trackpads—but it’ll really depend on how you use a gamepad.
