Valve says Steam Controller sold out 'faster than we anticipated' but previously told us it has knobs it can turn to get more

The Steam Controller has been available to purchase for barely a day and it's already sold out. That's a familiar occurrence around major hardware launches but even Valve is surprised by the sales fervour for the new pad, which mostly sold out in minutes, not hours.

In a post on Bluesky, it promises more are on the way and a timeline for availability is coming.
