The massive Steam Summer Sale 2017 kicked off on Thursday, and you can find all the best deals in our earlier coverage. Long story short, you’re going to save a ton of money on some fantastic Steam games during this year’s sale. In fact, you’ll enjoy savings of up to 85% off! To complement the big Summer Sale currently underway, Amazon has slashed $15 off the price of the Steam Controller, making this the perfect time to refresh your gear. You probably wore out your current controllers playing all the games you picked up during last year’s Steam Summer Sale, so why not start fresh?

Here are some highlights from the product page:

  • Experience a new level of precise control for your favorite games. The Steam Controller lets you play your entire collection of Steam games on your TV-even the ones designed without controller support in mind.
  • Features dual trackpads, HD haptic feedback, dual-stage triggers, back grip buttons, and fully-customizable control schemes. Find your favorite mappings in the Steam Community, or create and share your own.
  • Dual trackpads allow for 1:1 absolute position input via virtual controls like a trackball, adaptive centering joystick, or steering wheel
  • Dual-stage triggers can be used as analog, digital, or both types of input at the same time. Put your iron-sights on the sweep-in, and then fire with the reliable feel of a tactile switch, all on the same trigger.
  • Each of the Steam Controller’s input zones and buttons has been positioned based on frequency of use, required precision, and ergonomic comfort.

Also discounted is the Steam Link, though inventory is running out quickly so you had better hurry if you want one.
