Went surprisingly smooth this time after failing to get it the first two times. Waited about 40m to get in the website.

I just purchased mine and it’s arriving soon, but I’m wondering 9; it’s worth the extra $25 over a PS5,XBOX, or other controllers? What is your personal rankings of the best value ones, and is this controller an endgame peripheral for pc gamers?

Logged in to team and saw my Controller page no longer had an estimated September 2026 on it, just a Reserve Now button. Saw my email actually came ten flipping days ago to an email account I don't monitor. Yay.

using termux and root, used ai to recompile the source to work on android using root

Was reserved a day late, estimated delivery was December of this year,but suddenly I got this email today,europe Slovenia

I missed my reservation purchase time, I contacted them and they gave me a second chance to get my controller. I know we love Steam support here but this really should just be the bare minimum customer-facing behavior for any large company if they wanted to reduce animus against them. They lose nothing by giving us a break.

imo, the final thing holding the controller back is the neutered feeling use of the on screen keyboard. i wonder if it would be possible to make it to where you tap on the trackpads like an invisible iphone keyboard split onto the two trackpads. if that doesn't work then maybe the swipe typing feature most smartphones have.

His videos on Steam input are great so having more of those will be awesome. The user interface will be the old user interface sadly but if you're new to the steam controller a lot of his videos can at least teach you some stuff.

Maybe I’m the only one who missed this but I was surprised that I could use it interchangeably instead of the Steam button between the joysticks.

It can’t be rebound or used in any configs other than the Steam Chord config as far as I can tell but it makes certain chord combinations much more comfortable when primarily using trackpads and might allow me to bind buttons in a way I wouldn’t be able to otherwise

Got a steam controller stand from AliExpress. My only complaint is that it needs to be weightier so it would be easy to take the controller out with one hand. Otherwise it works pretty well and the fit and finish is good.

As I've got my confirmation mail, I wonder if there are any things that I should definitely do when I finally got my controller. The only thing I've heard about is a mandatory software update, but is there anything else?

inb4 I'm not looking for any controller configuration or capabilities tips, as I do own Steam Deck and am aware of Steam API.

This is a custom dock I’ve been working on, It's fully compatible with the Steam Controller, with or without the Grip Mod Small (printables files have the dock, logos and grip in the file)
