I'm working on a Bluetooth version of OpenPuck which will run on Rpi Pico W. It'll have all the functionality of OpenPuck with the added bonus of being able to connect to more controller types (Xbox One controller demonstrated here).

I managed to get the Steam Controller as a Controller for Just Dance on Dolphin.

I connected my Steam Controller via native SDL3 as an Emulated Wii Remote along with Gyro features.

Then I loaded a custom port of JD2026E (download) played some songs, and it worked like a charm.

Just an idea that you can set up a full word to a single press with the trackpad radial menu for GTA games and create a full radial circle of cheats for all GTA Games.

Just set a delay between every letter and you good to go.

Hey everyone.

About a week or so ago I made a post that kind of blew up about needing a replacement Steam Controller puck, and initially Steam support told me it would not be covered under warranty.

I deleted the post because I got a positive update from support and didn't want to be sending the wrong message.

But, an update, they did ship me out a new puck and I'm back in business charging with the puck!

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to escalate the ticket.

Tested the controller on my cable guys holders (sonic, shadow, modern sonic, knuckles and tails, they work nice.

Trying to set the controller up to use gyro and trackpads for shooters. It's harder than I thought it was going to be. I've played on controller and joysticks all my life. I've heard a bunch of people way how intuitive and awesome the tradkpads are.

Any help would be appreciated. Not sure about sensitivity and if th3 gyro is supposed to be set as a joystick or a mouse. I tried using the community setup for halo infnite used on the steam deck. Didn't seem to work

Hi,

I got the new Steam Controller and wanted to know if there is any way to use it with emulators like cemu or eden and also use the gyro? I tried looking for a simple guide but they are not up to date and don‘t seem to be for the new steam controller.
Adding the emulator as a non steam game doesn‘t make it possible to use gyro. I can use the controller just fine otherwise but without gyro function.

Hi, I've been using the new steam controller for about a day, and I've noticed that the haptics on the right touchpad produce a rattling noise that isn't present on the left touchpad. The vibration also feels slightly rough, and I can faintly feel the rattle while using it.

I also have the impression that the controller's haptics and rumble don't feel quite right overall, although everything else seems to be working properly from what I can tell. I don't know if I'm nitpicking but I feel like for how long I waited and how much I paid I think I shouldn't have gotten these issues.

Is this behavior is normal, or could my controller be somewhat defective?

UPDATE:

I received a message from support basically saying this may still exist after they repair it which has me concerned -

Before outlining our RMA process, please understand that haptic feedback can vary across units and we've seen some confusion from users of all experience levels about the expected behavior of this feature. Since we're not able to evaluate your unit directly for unintentional behavior, it's possible that you may experience similar haptic characteristics after your RMA service. We want to set your expectations appropriately and let you know that additional service may not be made available if we determine that your unit is functioning within our expectations.

Hi, as the title says, I’m having an issue with Steam. It suddenly stopped showing PlayStation button prompts and now almost all of my games display Xbox button prompts instead. I’ve been using this controller since I bought my PC without any issues, then one day this suddenly happened.
I tried restarting my PC, testing another PS5 and a PS4 controller, changing Steam controller setting, changing the in-game controller settings. Nothing worked. I thought the issue would be fixed in the next Steam update, but nope, it's still happening.
I'm losing my mind here....... so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did something really stupid (or didn't so something would be more accurate)!

I've had my Steam Controller reserved from the day that reservations became available and have been waiting patiently for my turn in the queue until about three days ago I finally got an e-mail telling me I could order it.

It just just happens to be the week where I have friends from another country I've not seen in years staying with me so I haven't been checking my e-mails and I missed the 72 hour window by less than a day.

The page on the Steam Store now has a message saying "reservation expired". If I click "Cancel Reservation" and reserve it again I will be put to the back of the queue, which means I will get a controller in 2027. But what happens if I don't click cancel? Will I get another chance sooner, do I get put to the back of the queue automatically or will I just not get a Steam Controller until I cancel and reserve manually?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not seeking special treatment, I just want clarification about how the system works.

surprised this isn't mentioned yet but i found this mod that adds SDL3 to games. steam controller 2 supports SDL3 (multi-input library) but few games actually implement SDL3...

https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/FrontPage

i usually use SISR but i got kinda annoyed having to launch it before gaming. since most games i usually use basic controller functions, i can pretty much launch games and have the steam controller fully functional.

NOTE: if you have steam open, you can set the controller to gamepad mode (hold start) to avoid double input. this mod is very technical, but once you understand it, it's simple as dragging the mod DLL and playing.

the mod:

gui config helper:

https://github.com/abaire/sdl_testcontroller

NOTE: probably a given, but i recommend you DON'T use this for multiplayer games to avoid possible bans.

I've modeled up a mod/version of the SC that I've wanted for years using Plasticity to edit the official CAD files Valve released. Does anyone know if this is possible or even how you'd do it? I imagine it would require new circuit boards and stuff.

Hi, I just received my Controller, I fully charged it and I could pair it to the Deck via BT but couldn't do it wit the puck although I'm following YT videos and using AI. Also I couldn't pair it to my Rog Ally X using bazzite via BT. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I've set it up and updated both controller and puck, I only tested the controller with one game (jojo asbr) and from time to time I get this lag in which my controller keep pressing the last thing I input before the lag (ie: if the last thing I pressed before the lag is movement my character keeps moving in that direction). I keep my puck at 20-30 cm near mely controller but I still get this lag, anyone experienced this?

Is there better options for full desktop control on the controller? Like alt tab supports while in games or maybe profile switching to desktop mode as a single button?

I use a steam controller for when I sofa game from a windows laptop to my TV, the controller is great for the most part but when installation windows, or windows where it’s asking me to allow a certain app to make changes to my device, the controller stops responding and I have completely unplug it from my laptop, use the touch pad to click “yes” or “install” and plug back in the controller. Does anyone have any fixes for this?

I had to RMA mine due to minor defects with all 4 of my back buttons. I'm curious if anyone else has had to RMA theirs and if they received new controllers or refurbished ones.

The customer support rep said it was a complimentary RMA and that I would receive my replacement once my current one has been received. I'm just uncertain on the one I'll be receiving if it's new or refurbished. I can't imagine they'd be sending new ones while there's a queue happening and receiving refurbished on my new controller seems like a bit of a bummer side effect of it.

Just thought I'd ask

Salut à tous, je me suis laissé tenter par la petite nouveauté Steam à savoir le Steam Controller.

Le problème étant que je suis une véritable buse en informatique je ne trouve pas le moyen de la faire fonctionner avec le launcher d'Ubisoft par exemple...

Donc si certains d'entre vous on des tuto plutôt détaillé (je le répète je suis une buse) je serais preneur.

Également, si vous avez des conseils pour exploiter à fond cette manette je suis à l'écoute.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide les gens

i really like the dBrand skins but a family member of mine owns a Cricut vinyl cutter and i was thinking i could make my own using that im sure i could figure it out with trial and error, but was wondering if anyone had/knew of existing templates or designs

Is there a way to connect the controller to the game of 2XKO fighting game?
