I couldn't put this in the gaming news, but I think some of you may be interested in this:

Wait, the Steam Controller 2 is in mass production? Someone grab the popcorn because nothing brought out the strong opinions like Valve's first controller

The original Steam Controller, which has been defunct now for half a decade, had a rocky history. Well, perhaps not so much rocky as controversial, it having a plethora of diehard fanboys and fangirls but also more than a smattering of detractors, including our very own hardware overlord Dave James. Now—someone shield Dave's ears—there's talk of a second iteration already being in mass production.

Valve boffin and leaker Brad Lynch shared on X (via The Verge) that, in addition to a VR controller, the Steam Controller 2, codenamed "Ibex" is "being tooled for a mass production goal in their factories right now" and "that's why I know they're in later stages of production."

That's great. I have a Steam controller and I really liked it, should have bought two when the fire sale was on.
