I could easily see myself picking it up for $100 just like in the states. But because of the currency exchange rate, We're getting hit with a 50 dollar price hike.

Meanwhile the Xbox controller I bought was only $89.00.

Do any of my fellow Canadians also feel this way?

Nope, the feature list of the steam controller is much greater than a standard Xbox controller. The price point it deserves to be compared to would be the Xbox elite controller which retails here for $250. If you’re worried about cost check out the 8-bitdo ultimate 2, which will get you Hal effect sticks and the extra programable buttons.
