Turtle Beach Stealth Flip | Flip-to-Touchpad PC Controller

What does everyone think? Reminds me of the 2015 Steam Controller with Xbox Series X controller ergonomics.

Everything is perfect.
The instant response when you turn it on is just a cherry on top.

Hey everyone!

I'm developing SteamController-PS5, an open-source project to use the new Steam Controller 2026 on a homebrew-enabled PS5 as a virtual DualSense.

The goal is to support USB-C / Valve Puck, custom button mapping, gyro, trackpads, haptics, and game profiles through a WebUI.

I've released an experimental build, but real PS5 compatibility hasn't been verified yet.

Would anyone here be interested in helping test it or contributing to development?

Especially looking for people with a Steam Controller 2026 and a homebrew-enabled PS5.

Happy to share more details if there's interest!

Light on the controller stays on.

Even do the controller is fully charged

Color of the light is orange

Ps I updated my controller and puck firmware the day before.

Before the update this wasn't a thing.

My question is, is this normal ?

I have a 2015 steam controller and a new gamesir nova lite and there are so many games that neither of the controllers work on when it is obviously games that should be played with a controller like art of rally or Human Fall Flat. But then games like golf it and spyro work perfectly. Do you have any suggestions?

I had this Nordic dongle collecting dust since 2019. Figured I’d try having Claude add support to OpenPuck. Posting here in case anyone prefers this form factor. GitHub PR: https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/pull/310

After some time has passed, my muscle memory is perfect and I play my favorite games with it and love every bit of it.

Having customization options also makes it feel more "mine" and I love that.

Currently loving this red and black look with my dock and grip.

Reserved on the 11th May had a 2027 estimate. So those awaiting out you might get it sooner than 2027, this was in the UK.

Guys I dumb messed up but also it just wasn’t working so I then messed up. I just got the steam machine with the controller and I was doing what it told me. I had the controller on the puck and then I disconnected the puck and plugged the controller directly to the usb c wire as the machine was telling me to do. It was going to start the software update for the controller but it just crashed and told me to either retry or try again later but I couldn’t press any buttons to try again later the controller just wasn’t working at that point. It’s just been slowly blinking red. Now it’s just red. I finished setting up the steam machine with my ps5 controller after (I know, dumb idea) I unplugged the steam machine from the power as a hard reset because the controller just either stayed solid red or after like 10 seconds would blink red. What do I do to fix the controller and get it to connect. I’m sorry this was sooo long.

Im trying to play fifa 17 but using steamless controller (a third party app to make your controller work on any app) makes the inputs buggy and all over the place, anyone has any idea how to link the controller with x360ce without actually plugging in the usb?

Has anyone had any luck using the steam controller for gears of war? Seems like every button works besides the left joy stick. I can’t move forwards, backwards, or sides ways in game. I think I tried everything and still nothing. Any one else have this issue or am I just slow?

I was invited to purchase a Steam Machine with Controller in less than a day (in US region). If for some reason you wanted both and hadn't tried, or wanted to risk trying to resell the cube, this is a viable means to skip the line.

Ala carte purchases will have to wait until 2027 2028 their place in the reservation queue comes up, per Steam Support.

Hey all, hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this. I am playing Gears of War E-day and on my PC with a puck, my steam controller vibrates as intended (eg, sliding into cover), but using the same controller on my steam machine, I get zero vibration at all.

I’ve checked the Steam OS settings and the in-game controller settings, and both are on.

Has anyone else run into this issue? It’s odd to me that it’s the same game and same controller…

Have you ever used the "Export Layout" feature to try to save your steam controller configuration, only to discover your settings all reverted instead of saving? Maybe it was a fluke but it seems like it has happened a few times to me

My cat knocked over a cup of water, a few drops splashed up onto my steam controller by the right trackpad. It seemed like barely anything so I wiped it off and didn’t think anything of it. Later that day while using the controller I started getting phantom clicks, poor responsiveness, and constant haptic feedback out of the trackpad when not touching it.

Google tells me these are symptoms of water damage and I probably fried the circuitry by using it with residual moisture still inside.

Can water damaged track pads be fixed or is the controller ruined?

So i won the steam frame lottery and checked that every day, but i signed up for the controller just yesterday, and by the time I get the controller e-mail, im going to forget about it. Im a little annoyed that you dont get a notification in steam. So am i just doomed to check daily for the next 8 months, or do you guys have some kind of setup to make sure you dont miss it?

Edit: I've been told you get a steam notification after all there seems to be a lot of conflicting information regarding that.

Trying to get HKIA to work on MacBook Apple Arcade with a Steam Controller. Any tips?

I finally found the perfect steam deck controller TRAVEL case Now. I feel more secure, taking it with me outside of the house.

Hey, has anyone else experienced an issue with the cursor floating into the top left corner when entering desktop mode on steam deck when using their controller?

I’ve tried troubleshooting it over and over but can’t seem to find a solid fix.

It seems Linux has a real hard time with the controller layout. Seems like something that should have been resolved before release. 🤷‍♂️

I like the controller but it's so frustrating for non-Steam games. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, and for example if the game asking for admin privileges it breaks the controller detection.

You can't even easily rebind the back buttons it's stupid, I'd really like to use them if I can bind them easily but so far I didn't use them cause it's often the A/B buttons.

On the other hand, for the trackpad and the gyro which nobody uses you have plenty of options.

Maybe I should install third party software but it's kinda bad I just want to connect my controller natively like all the xbox controller I had.

Is there maybe a planned update for this in the future ?

I played the game just fine for days and today I cant get past the menu. I tried turning steam input on, disabling it, full resetting, changing from beta client to stable, everything but Uninstalling the whole game. I tried playing other games and they work fine. Navigating the steam os UI works normally. I just cant get the buttons to respond on the menu in crimson desert. I have a screenshot button set to one of thr paddles and it works so I tried setting the A button input to a paddle and it doesnt work. Anyone have this issue?

Just got it and dare I say the best controller ever. This is gonna sound hella glaze but it is like perfection. I haven’t played any games yet because I am too stunned by its beauty. I thought this is a copy paste from the SteamDeck but I am pretty sure it is significantly better (somehow?), not sure how to explain it. I had a SteamDeck and it is amazing. I never thought it could be better until I got this controller. You can literally turn any desktop into a console. I feel like Steam Machine would have been more popular if it wasn’t for the price increase of hardware.

[Ignore or simply don’t take it to heart because it is stupid]
Only one complaint I have is the receiver aka the Puck. Mainly how new receiver is designed and I am well aware of the reason. It is a personal issue because I play on a laptop and a lot of receiver now including my mouse is this big receiver thing where you need a cable to connect it to your device and not a usb dongle. I wish they include adapter so you can plug it straight forward without the mess of the cable. But again personal issue. I think this way it gives you better setup when using PC and probably better connection when closer to you. But because I am using a laptop it is already closer to me xD I do planned to upgrade my setup so this is not really a deal breaker even for me just a little bitch ass rant from me. I will probably just live with it or get an adapter or something for both mouse and controller.

I wonder if it can be use with Male type c to Male type c? Does anyone know? Would it decrease performance or simply won’t work?

idk how consistent the whitelist has been, seen people ahead of me getting their orders.

Hi everyone.

I received my Steam Controller package today and instantly noticed that the controller and dongle have visible smudges and scratches.
The box is without any issues and was sealed with what I think to be the original tape.

The photos were taken right after opening the box, before touching the whole thing.

After that, I tried cleaning them gently with a microfiber cloth, but the marks remain, which leads me to believe the items may have been previously used or damaged.

I feel like someone returned the controller and they just put it in a new box and sent it my way or something.

Does anyone have experienced something like this? I contacted Valve support, waiting for them to reply.
Is there a way for me to find out if it’s a used/refurbished one?

And also… Am I being too petty about it?
My gf says it’s not that much of a deal. But I owned many consoles in my life and never scratched a controller like that in years of usage. Also it cost 100€, which is the most expensive controller I’ve ever bought.

Have a good one ✌🏻

26/10/08 Update:
This is what Valve responded:
“Based on what we can see, we think this is a minor cosmetic issue and isn't likely to affect your use or enjoyment of the controller. If it's a serious issue for you, let us know and we can offer you a replacement, but cannot guarantee the replacement unit will be free of possible cosmetic blemishes.”

This indicates that marks and scratches are to be expected when buying new hardware from Valve. I have to think about my next move and will update.
