    I tested this out last night. It took a few tries and my wife thought I was crazy till it screamed out. 11/10 would buy again.

      Ah, one of the lucky ones who got their controller actually shipped and in their hands already. Meanwhile tons of us stuck on “Packaged Items” for 2 weeks already, what a chaotic launch…

        When you drop the Steam controller it plays the Wilheim scream noise. They were trying it out repeatedly agitating their wife in trying something so senseless until it worked to her astonishment.

            For anyone who gets the ridiculous 5070 overlay ad instead of actual audio (Thanks CNET, for finding really annoying ways around ad blockers), here is just a video of the sound: https://youtu.be/tw5Luf_7F8c

            I was responding earnestly because I thought it was polite. That’s my mistake.

                    Did I just witness a civil way to handle a misunderstanding? That’s too much internet for today

                Oh sorry, it’s a common thing in my area that that’s a sarcastic response. I thought you baited me.

                I read it wrong. Apologies.

                Anyways, I was entirely serious … it’s a weird feature to put into a controller but I get the nerd factor appeal of it. I can’t confirm it first hand though, I’m waiting to get my hands on one.
