The Steam Controller’s reservation queue is open
After quickly selling out of the Steam Controller on May 4th, Valve has launched a reservation system to ensure that you can get one without too much hassle. You may not get one as quickly as you’d like to, but at least you can now easily reserve the $99 controller.
If your Steam account is in good standing, and you’ve purchased something on the account before April 27th of this year, you’ll be able to reserve one. Essentially, this will hold your place in line for future restocks. Once a controller is available for you, you’ll get an email prompting you to purchase. You’ll have 72 hours to purchase your Steam Controller before it gets offered to the next person in the queue.
Ahead of its launch, Valve told The Verge that it had significant supply ready for its debut, but it didn’t know exactly how much demand there would be for the controller. Clearly, there wasn’t enough stock to meet demand. But at least now you’re able to join the line to get one instead of hoping you’ll be among the first to buy from a restock.

Helmet-style cockpit vision system aims to change how pilots see in low visibility
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Dror Yahav, a former commercial pilot and now CEO of Universal Avionics, said he often flew approaches in low-visibility conditions where runways did not appear until late in the landing sequence. Now, he’s helping bring a cockpit vision system to market for commercial aircraft.
AerSale developed the system, AerAware, in partnership with Universal Avionics and has received Federal Aviation Administration certification for the Boeing 737 Next Generation.
The system uses a nose-mounted enhanced vision camera and a wearable head display that overlays flight data and imagery into the pilot’s field of view.

Yahav said the system reflects his experience with low-visibility night approaches.
“You turn your head up and look outside, and there’s just nothing — pitch black or foggy,” he said.
He said the system combines sensor data and imagery to support situational awareness during takeoff and landing.

AerAware departs from traditional head-up displays and instead equips both pilots with a dual wearable system that delivers the same information to each cockpit seat.
Yahav said the concept draws from military helmet-mounted displays used in aircraft such as the F-35 Lightning II.

The FAA has certified AerAware for Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft.
Regulators continue to focus on runway safety, and FAA data shows there were 1,636 runway incursions in fiscal year 2025, down from 1,758 in 2024 and 1,760 in 2023. Pilot deviations accounted for 62% of incursions from 2021 through 2025.

The installation process takes about two to three days per aircraft, followed by pilot training under an approved program, Yahav said.

He said airline interest has increased alongside continued focus on runway incursions and low-visibility operations.
Jacqueline Carlon, senior vice president of marketing and communications for AerSale, said airlines evaluating the system focus on certification, installation downtime and integration into existing operations.
“It takes about a two- to three-day installation per aircraft, followed by an approved training program,” she said.
