I did end up getting my replacement #SteamController delivered while I was a way on vacation. I’m a fan for #LinuxGaming. It is perfectly compatible, and feels and performs great. Bummer that my first one was broken out of the gate, but hopefully that’s just teething issues. A little birdie told me that the joystick sourcing was a real pain point in development.

The OpenPuck project lets you use a Bluetooth Microcontroller and mimic the functionality of Valve's #SteamController puck:

Got my Steam Controller. First experience in Linux is one of frustration. It appears in KDE controllers, but doesn't appear in Gamepad Webapi testers. I downloaded steam and started a game, it didn't work. I fiddled with "layouts" for couple of hours, nothing. Then I found out that holding the hamburger turns on gamepad mode in *desktop*. That solved most of things. Suddenly it worked in webapi testers and in-game (Ascent). #Steam #Linux #SteamController

With this new community project, you can set up a camera and your #SteamController will use haptics to automatically charge itself:

Valve has added an estimated order availability note to the #SteamController page, and new orders won't ship until 2027:

So one of the concerns i heard about the #SteamController is its size when in reality it is about the same size as all as thenother "standard" console controllers that are out there already. I have caught my self checking a few times when playing because it feels real good and I am thinking this just feels like a "normal" controller but with some wanted touch pads. Which os exactly how i felt with the #SteamDeck. I think for sure this controller is easily my new "main" controller for playing games. I need to find a game where the grips stuff makes sense because thats the one feature so far that i have yet to really try. ​​

Huh they opened reservations about 15 seconds early; Got mine about 10 seconds before 19:00 local time (German summer time) #steamcontroller #steamcontroller2
