I do believe Valve actually learns lessons from failure. They certainly seem to have with the new Steam Machine vs the old Steam Machine. Making it a console-like device instead of somekind of ecosystem. So I am leaning toward the new Controller not being a massive pile of shit.
Oh for sure. I liked the original Steam Controller for what it was and I’m excited for the new one to give me a Deck-like experience on my Bazzite PC. I’m confident this will be a good controller.
I just think it’s kind of a big swing going from the $5 bargain bin device to the $100 follow up. I wonder how many people are going to think they can wait for this one to go into clearance?

The failure of the controller was because they lost a patent lawsuit against Crucial, not because it was a bad product.
Corsair, not Crucial

I’m pretty sure that the original sold for something like 45 or 50 at the time. Maybe more.
