I found some old hardware giveaways from 9 years ago for Steam Controller.
How did they work? Did the creators send the prizes by post? Or did they transfer the money and let the winners buy the hardware themselves?

I also found out that you could create a giveaway for Steam Deck - Valve Certified Refurbished. It'll yield 439 CV according to Steam DB. No giveaway yet.

PS5 is my main, and PC is a secondary - mostly cause its almost 12 years old... 😅

This is an interesting question, so I'm bumping in hope of having it answered.

My guess is that you can "gift" them as an Steam item. And then the preson "redeems" the gift and Steam mails it to them.

I'm also with the gift theory. You can't buy a key for the Steam Controller or SteamDeck.

Refurbished ones have been out of stock for, dunno, 16-18 months? Mine is a refurbished one. I examined it carefully on opening the case. I couldn't find any sign of previous use.
