Valve has run out of Steam Controllers and is cancelling orders
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-has-run-out-of-steam-controllers-and-is-cancelling-orders/
Last week, Valve decided that it was time for the Steam Controller to be retired, just over four years after it launched. To get rid of the last of its stock and give people one more chance to snatch it up, Valve shaved the price down to £4/$5, which was a steal, even if the controller wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Unfortunately, it looks like the remaining stock has run out before the orders have been fulfilled.
People reported that they'd received refunds out of the blue, even for controllers that had allegedly shipped. Following that, Valve informed customers that it "mistakenly took more orders than [it was] able to fulfil." Unfortunately, since it's not making more of them, it can't just wait for more stock.

MODS/EMULATORS

This mod for Fallout: New Vegas aims to fix the micro-stutter issues and high framerate bugs
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-mod-for-fallout-new-vegas-aims-to-fix-the-micro-stutter-issues-and-high-framerate-bugs/
Fallout: New Vegas is considered by many as one of the best Fallout games of all time. As such, we are presenting you today a mod that aims to completely fix the game’s micro-stuttering and high framerate issues/bugs.
According to modders Carxt, Tgspy, lStewieAl and c6 , this mod focuses on three major components; Tick Count bug, Common Code Inlining, and a High FPS Fix.
Tick Count is a bug that creates incredibly noticeable micro stutter issues. Not only that, but this bug is more likely to occur on better hardware, meaning that most PC gamers will experience it.
On the other hand, Common Code Inlining aims to help performance and decrease load times. To achieve this, the modders have fixed bits of code from the vanilla game that were quite intensive.
Last but not least, the High FPS setting fixes some bugs and glitches that could occur with high framerates. Therefore, this option allows you to play at framerates over 60 without the need to worry about the game’s physics or lipsync. However, do note that this option is disabled by default (so you’ll have to manual enable it).
>> You can get this mod from Nexus Mods.
