        The point is that in Europe sticker price always includes tax, you pay the exact amount there, while reputedly in the US it does not work that way.

            Is it made in the US though? It seems kinda silly to ship the parts from predominantly China to the US back to Europe.

            Especially since IIRC the US PC market is smaller that that of Europe.

            And also, tariffs.

              Honestly no clue. But I just checked my steam controller and it says „assembled in China“ so I guess not, but it still has to be shipped

                It has to be shipped to the US as well. Shipping isn’t a meaningful extra cost. But you have to compare netto prices with US prices. The Euro price is lower than the USD price.
