Today, Valve finally announced that the second version of the Steam Controller — and the first piece of Valve’s slate of new gaming hardware set to launch this year — is finally going on sale for $99 on May 4th.My colleague Cameron Faulkner and I have had the new Controller in our hands for more than two weeks, and we’ve each written reviews of it. For Verge subscribers, we have a treat: if you have any questions about the new gamepad, we’d be happy to answer them for you in the comments of this article.Valve hasn’t shared any new information about when the Steam Machine PC and Steam Frame VR headset might go on sale. Those are set to launch later than the company originally targeted due to the memory and storage shortages affecting many tech companies right now.But for anything you might want to know about the Controller, you can start asking questions right now. Cameron and I will start answering at about 3PM ET. Talk soon!
