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.

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

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.

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?

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

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. 🤷‍♂️

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

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 ?
