Assembled in the USA is something very different than "Made in the USA", which in itself doesn't actually mean that much.

is this bait OP?

US quality is actually an international meme. It is also seen in the US as well, like in Simpsons and Family guy. They make fun of things breaking on their own because those were American made products.

Does it comes with an rechargeable battery yet or do I still needs to use AA.

>>59664382
you can use your brain and buy rechargeable AAs

>>59664397
or if they weren't cheap motherfuckers they could include rechargeable AAs with the charger built in into the controller,, the chargerging units literally costs cents, you can buy them from china in those cheap chink websites and the steam controller already has usb interface.

>>59663786
The real money to be made in America is in designing and constructing these automated factories.

>>59665260
And automating farming

>>59663725
Because the steam controller is apparently assembled in an automated factory in Illinois, the fabrication process of a steam controller essentially involves no Chinese slave labor. The only reason to make use of Chinese factories then is the cheapness of materials, and to borrow their PCB fabs and injection molding machines.
By the looks of it, the PCBs are brought to the factory already assembled.
If we're to take the claim ``Assembled in USA'' at face value, this probably means that the factory the PCB was fabricated in is fully automated, and it probably is (would you trust a malnourished chink to solder SMD components without a high failure rate?)

Why does everyone act like "assembled in the USA" is a bad thing? The raw materials for these things come from Asia, Africa, etc etc. Blame geography for the US not having all the required natural resources to make modern electronics.

>>59664979
Automation is inevitable. There is no reason to hold back on the account of sentimentality.
It is a bitter pill that we will have to swallow eventually, but forcibly holding it back is going to result in a net negative for society. This boomer-age thought that you can simply ``get a job'' and support yourself and/or a family needs to end.

>>59665525

Fucking truth.

How could one company fuck it up this badly?

>>59665487
What a horrible post.
The US is the most geographically diverse nation on the planet. The only countries that can hope to compete in that regard are Russia and China.

The reason you don't have manufacturing in the US is because of regulations. You need to produce a product while adhering to eco-friendliness standards. This is why there are ZERO lead processing factories in the US.
Manufacturing in China, where they have zero regulations and thus a semi-permanent brown cloud and thick smog looming over their cities, is incredibly cheap in comparison.

To say that we don't manufacture in the US because of ``resources'' is asinine. It's a simple matter of economics that it is cheaper to produce the raw components of a product in China.

>>59665525
Its actually really ergonomic. It only hurts your thumb after prolonged use and the face buttons are a little bit of a stretch.

Do you really want to be like China? And being geographically diverse doesn't mean we automatically have rare earth minerals. You can't blame regulations for the US not having any tantalum.

>>59665561
>You need to produce a product while adhering to eco-friendliness standards
That and the federal government won't keep their fucking nose out of interstate commerce. The only real way to do manufacturing business in the US is to do all the raw material extract, construction, and assembly in a single state, which is usually impossible

There are regulations in China. They're just not up to the standards of the first world. China is investing heavily in things like hydro and solar.

Its in China's best economic interest to not enforce them in anywhere that isn't a tourist destination (AKA Hong Kong which is semi-autonomous anyway). Which is exactly what they do. The Chinese are only investing in renewables because they can build them for so cheap and renewables are a relatively consistent source of passive energy (unlike dwindling fossil fuel deposits) and energy independence (that is also guaranteed to be used nationally 95% of the time--something China really likes).
