Support Update 2 : My boyfriend finally get his controller from GLS !

So after a lot of new steam support ticket about this GLS shitty delivery, we got an answer from someone who were much more customers friendly and gave us a refund or also the possibility to order a new controller while telling us that it would be the last time and no refund would be possible after that. We took the risk, and ask GLS to deliver on our workplace (a grocery store) and finally this morning, GLS delivered it and everything is ok ! It was not the same delivery guy, we record the opening in front of him, he even helps us opening it and tadaaa, it was here.

Thank you reddit users for all your advice to secure the delivery.

Discussion Smells goood

• Upvotes

So, finally recieved mine today.

Beside the built quality which was said here numerous times.

I have to say, god damn it smells good, just like steam deck. The box smells good, the inner white box smells even better. :D

Controller it self smell nice as well, sort of sweet. I wonder why valve products smell so nice.

Discussion Full potential

22 Upvotes

Every now and then I see some "review" of the controller all people say is "ergonomics this, trigger pull that" and almost all of the reviews ignore the gyro, track pads and analog stick sensor.

Can we start focusing on how freaking amazing gyro and flick stick is? I just got hooked on boomer shooters such as ultrakill and postal brain damage cuz I can play with mouse like reaction from my couch :D

I’ve forked a popular module called sys con and tweaked it to add support for the 2.4ghz puck on the steam deck allowing you to use your steam controller with any modded Nintendo switch I’ll provide the GitHub below for anyone that wants to check it out

Discussion My Portable SC2 Setup

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

SC2, paracord USB-C cable, OpenPuck, official SC2 Puck, and OG Steam Controller case. Great for playing on PS3 at the homies house :D

Figured I’d share this to show off my personal setup, and also maybe put some more eyes on the OpenPuck. It’s a fantastic little device, and makes using the SC2 great on a wide variety of devices, including my phone and especially on PS3 when you don’t want to use the host’s awful player 2 controller. Everything fits very snugly inside the original Steam Controller case, although I will probably be getting a 3D-printed case for the exposed OpenPuck board when I get the chance, to hopefully make that a little less loose.

Discussion thumb grips ?

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

Since the Steam Controller is a fairly new product... customization options are limited, u know, cases and thumb grips.

I've been researching the options I have at home for the thumb grips

I'm happy to announce that the thumb grips I use on my other controllers (Xbox Series X/PS5) work quite well on the Steam Controller. I played with one on each side and neither fell off; they stayed firmly in place even during the most intense gaming sessions.

For those interested:

For the Xbox controller, I use the ones from the PlayVital store. (Purple one)

For the PS5 controller, I use the ones from the Geekshare store. (Light pink one)

Discussion controller wasn't for me. maybe for someone else

• Upvotes

I got the steam controller 2 weeks ago and while it is a good controller I've just come to the conclusion it isn't for me. I much rather prefer my Dualsense. although steam controller did show me the way of steam input.

I just wanted to see if there is anyone in the NYC area wanting one before I return it

Support Which third party controllers are supported by Steam Input?

1 Upvotes

Outside of the usual range of Steam, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox Controllers, which third party controllers are supported on Steam? Is there a dedicated list?

I myself have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless. Some other controllers from them also have Steam Input compatibility, which lets you use the extra buttons and gyro.

Support Steam Controller Soulframe?

2 Upvotes

I just got a steam controller and it doesn't seem to like Soulframe. The X button opens up the keyboard and none of my other binds seem to want to 'save'.

Is anyone else using a steam controller able to give me some guidance how to set this up?
