Valve's exact Steam Machine release date plans remain a mystery, but the controller has just entered US soil. That's according to a shipment manifest that suggests the gaming PC giant just received a delivery of "wireless PC controllers" that weighs 12,970 kg, and if it's not a sign that the mini system is finally ready to launch, the gamepad could keep us preoccupied.

First highlighted by hardware analyst Brad Lynch, Valve seemingly received its "first large quantity" of Steam Controllers last week. The shipment specifically applies to the USA, but while it's currently unknown whether the best PC controller contender has arrived in other territories, documentation shared by Videocardz backs up the gamepad shipment claims.
