Just looked up the leak for a steam controller 2 and I think I'd rather stick with my wired PowerA switch controller. I am not a big fan of the original steam controller design and personally don't like the design of the leak.

I get some people would absolutely love it, but I'm definitely in the "Do Not Buy" crowd. Not even to say I own one.

Fair enough to chime in with your disinterest in a new controller, but...

Why would anyone buy something just to say they own it? What the hell kind of "keeping up with the Joneses" shit is that?

It would technically fall under video game accessories, so I guarantee there are people who might want one because they collect that type of stuff.

I think one of the closest comparisons I could make are people who buy retro games/consoles just to display them and never actually use them.
