Are they manufactured in the US that seems like a bad idea.
Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed

They were shipped into the US from Hong Kong, so probably manufactured (or at least assembled) in East Asia.

Very interesting. The data shows that they stopped importing most controllers about three weeks ago.
Is that because it takes that long for a boat to cross the pacific?
Or was it their first batch and Valve is now waiting for the next one?
Trying to figure out how long they will be out of stock

Actually, that is a good point… That being said, Steam as a company stays entirely apolitical.
However, of course, someone at Valve would simply need to whisper anything Anti-trump, and Trump would actively invoke laws to sabotage them, and call them woke or whatever

Or they could just be caught in the crossfire, like they already have with the RAM shortage
