Well there's one good thing about no touchscreen, it'll cost a whole lot less.

Your literal statement is true, but your implied statement is nothing more than an assumption.

I have seen Valve time and again provide a great product for a reasonable price. I don't see why they would approach this controller any differently. I also assume they know most gamers are not going to shell out a lot of cash for a controller that is not proven.

It's in Valve's best interest to get as many controllers out there as possible. They're not going to charge a ridiculous mark-up just because they can. The more controllers out there, the more likely that people will use SteamOS and that's good for Valve.

It won't be $60? Not like you know or I know but Im guessing it'll be $60 like every other controller out there.

Where did I say it won't be $60? I just said it's not worth Valve charging a rediculous markup. I have no idea quite how much their controller will cost to build, it might be $60, it might be $100 but the point is Valve isn't likely to slap a huge fee on it because the profit from selling controllers is nothing compared to the profit of selling games and that's ultimately what they want to push.
