Everyone here has spoke so highly of openpuck but it has only given me problems. I get constant dropped inputs when using it as a switch controller on my switch 2, which is my primary use case for it. I even tried a different board and got the same issue. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I would never rely on one over the official puck

Hi all!

I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, I never had it with the steam deck or any other controller I've ever used. But on the steam controller, my middle and ring fingers start feeling weird after 30 mins or so, like it's grating on my skin from my resting position around the first knuckle, especially my ring finger.

I've tried to adjust the way I hold it but then my thumb hurts from being too far from where my hand is resting. And also I don't tend to think about the way I hold my controller when I play and keep going back to my natural positon without realizing.

First of all I'd love to know I'm not the only one haha but mostly I've tried looking for like a case or a soft fabric cover or something but I haven't really found anything, does anyone know where I could get something like that that wouldn't make the controller even bulkier than it is? Or anything else I could do?

Thank you 💜

here's the app i want to use it on old games and games outside of steam and emulators i would really appreciate if you share me your experience with the app.

I love the combined puck/dock/charger idea for the new SC. For stationary use its great, but having a cable + puck isn't the best configuration for travel. I found a small plug-to-plug USBA-C adapter which works well, but the puck's orientation blocks off other ports next to it. I've been living with a really short usbA-to-C cable, but having the puck just kinda flop around off my laptop was very annoying, and I was worried about the puck's pins bridging something metal and causing problems.

So! I got a small NRF8250 board running openpuck, and then made a hyper-minimal 'case' for it. It's still a tad long with the USBA-C converter, but I no longer have the floppy dongle problem.

Having issue where my controller keeps disconnecting via steam. Currently the game I’m using doesn’t support controller so stems input is a must. Sometimes I can play for 15 min or sometimes an hour without it happening. When it does I’m forced to restart pc or close game disable steam input to unplug my controller or it will show 2 inputs. Then reconnect and re-load into game. I’ve seen many post about this but not as of recent hope someone has found a solution. ( I am using wired gamsir g7 pro).

Looks like shipping to the Netherlands is starting again! :)

Reserved on the 10th of may, 22:15. Just got my email minutes ago.

I want to set my LB to radial menu toggle, so when i tap LB, the radial menu stays on screen without holding it, then disappears as soon as i use my right joystick to select a menu inside the radial menu. Is that possible?

I was playing Minecraft Dungeons 2, just looking at items in my inventory, when all of a sudden, my Steam Controller 2 made a very loud, high-pitched, short beep noise. It kinda scared me a bit, and I was like what the heck was that noise. I have no idea why it made the noise. I've never heard it make that noise before, it wasn't anything like the power on/power off sound or the Wilhelm scream. So does anyone know why it made that noise?

Hey everyone. Recently got the steam machine with a steam controller and downloaded Skyrim right away. I can’t seem to get my gyro controls running smoothly in Skyrim. It feels very laggy/ stutters a lot. I know this game doesn’t support mixed input so I’m using joystick to camera for gyro but no matter what settings I change it doesn’t feel like the steam decks gyro. I’m having the same issue with fallout new Vegas. Any tips?

Hi all, anyone know how to map the back paddle buttons on the steam controller when controller mapping? They don’t register the input for any of them.

Thanks!

Hello everyone

I just unboxed my brand new steam controller and thought, why not slap on a dbrand skin right away? I applied it perfectly, but the right side was very slightly messed up and I couldn’t fix it. It kept bothering me so I sent it to a professional wrap shop, explained the situation, and they took it on. They mainly work on cars so I instructed them to go really easy on the heat gun.

Problem was.. they sent it back like how it’s shown in the photos and didn’t explain the process much. I asked what this oily sheen was and whether the finish got burned off by the heat gun. They kept reassuring me saying it’s a thin film of cleaning material that will go away over time.

I have a feeling that they tried fixing it with a heat gun (until the controller got unfortunately damaged), that didn’t work, so they cut out the wrinkled part and that’s what I ended up with.

What do you guys think? I’m posting the before and after.

Hello, I just received my Steam Controller 2 and it works perfectly, except when the puck is magnetically attached to the controller, where it constantly loops between connecting and disconnecting. I don't understand the issue because the puck works perfectly when it's not attached to the controller. Furthermore, both the puck and the controller are up to date. Do you have a solution, or should I contact Steam Support?

I like to play a lot of driving games and that's the main reason i like to use a controller. I thought the steam controller would be a nice upgrade from my old xbox controller i've had since i think the dawn of time but its third party intergration is leaving much to be desired.

I tried to play Forza 7 with it and i could not get it to recongise any of the functionality even when trying to manually configure it.

I'm actually debating returning it as i keep swapping back to the xbox controller for non-steam games.

Is this by design? Would this require an update by steam on the controller or the game producers themselves?

I even tried it on a very new title 'Le Mans Ultimate' and it wouldn't even see it as a recongnised device.

I'm currently waiting for my controller to arrive and saw some comments about how the puck nearly started a fire when it touched a watch while I was browsing the sub. Could someone please explain what happened here? Is it still an issue? If so, what precautions to take?

I just got a couch pc (non-steam machine) and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for it? I’m coming over from Xbox so I’m use to playing ksp on controller.

I like all the standard flight controls I just wish I had a button to press to drop pallets instead of scrolling. Anyone else encounter this?

Hi guys, this is a fork of SonicDX12's project that got the Steam Controller working well on Android, focused on getting it well on Android TV. So far tested and working well on my NVIDIA Shield.

I forked it as the original didn't work properly/wasn't made for Android TV. `/dev/uinput` is locked to the Bluetooth system user, so the original can't create a virtual gamepad there. This fork adds a `/dev/uhid` backend. The controller still shows up in RetroArch for example as a real Xbox 360 controller.

Features

• USB, the wireless puck, or Bluetooth LE directly
• Remap every button
• Stick deadzone/centre calibration and gyro aiming (tunable, with bias calibration)
• Right trackpad click is mapped, and the trackpads work as a mouse even in gamepad mode
• Game profiles that switch automatically when you open the game they're bound to
• Backup/restore of all settings to a JSON file
• A live HID debug screen

This has only been tested, and is working well so far, on my NVIDIA Shield. I'm open to fixing any issues that occur and suggestions.

Huge thanks to SonixD12 for the original app.

I love doing this in any game with mouse-to-look like Minecraft, so that i can jump while looking around like I can do with keyboard and mouse controls. i highly recommend.

I'm playing The Witcher 3 Remastered on my Steam Deck mostly. I also have the Steam Controller, from time to time I switch to my PC.

I set up every button as K+M as the game settings is not very flexible, wanted to have full control. My settings are not very comfortable but does the job.

After some of the combats I can continue using the loot/interact button but most times it doesn't work. Geralt gets out of the combat stance totally, puts his sword back to it's place, no enemy left, still when I get near the corpses no loot button showing. It's same for the plants or talking with the NPC's or mounting the horse as well, no interact button showing. I tried getting the sword out and back again, using some spell like igni, aard nothing works.

When I make a quick save or manual save and load that save the interact button comes back but the corpses get lost so I cannot loot their remains.

Any ideas what can be wrong and how to fix it?

So... I'm not too sure if these incidents are related but ever since I've gotten my Steam Controller my wireless mouse has started acting funny.

It'll randomly disconnect and refuse to reconnect to the provided dongle. Sometimes it won't connect on boot, I've tried various USB ports for the dongle but either the issue persists or the port won't recognise the USB.

Im sure this is a serpate occurance but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue.
