It looks amazing. They would probably be extremely expensive here because the rand is tanking hard, but I want one. Anybody else eyeing one?


The part where it emulates a WiiMote is incredible.

Yeah been eyeing it for a while now but dam like you said it will be expensive. The only thing that might be a problem my thumb is not nearly as long as the person in the vid.
 
Been following this all the way since the whole steam OS release last year,Also waiting to see the price
 
Mine arrived yesterday (along with Steam Link) but I'm so busy with work I could only unbox it and make some pew pew pew noises and pretend to use it :(

No idea what I'm gonna play first to test it out - First world problems :p

Seems this guy also fell in the trap of not setting the controller up right. Wonder why the controller does not have rechargable batterie rather then AA batteries.
Bit more of it here. ]

Ah crap man! He is obviously paid by Valve!

lol, nah, thats why i always like to get more than one opinion. Thanks!
 
Also ordered Steam Link and Controller. Awaiting delivery. I have Dark Souls PTD and Dark Souls II that I am not willing to play with KB and mouse. Project Cars should be awesome on TV.

How does that work? Do you need to pay customs duty?

Yep. The controller and link worked out to about R670 each (Both 50 usd) or close to that but the total price ended up being around R2k

Amazon shows you the duties at checkout. You can pay it in advance so that you don't pay the courrier anything.

Damn! You could've bought a second controller with the customs duties.

Had a look at Raru too. Doing a US import would cost R1300. Guess I'll be waiting (forever) for this to become available locally.
 
I got the controller and the link for R2000 or so.

Rand was just under 14 to the dollar so the two items worked out to R1400 or so. Priority shipping was R300 and customs about R300 as well. The customs are +14% on 1.1 times the value. This is the case for electronics but my parcel was marked as Music CD for some reason - which is calculated at the same rate luckily.
