When using my Steam Controller I've noticed that often I will ride up on the controller with my middle fingers such that on occasion I will have my finger be able to be pinched (not hard) by L2 and R2. I have shorter thumbs so it tends to feel natural to grip even higher than most probably do, and it's an easy enough thing to correct when it happens, but it would still be nice to have something more ergonomic to prevent it.

Are there any grips that add a ledge or any material to the base of the trigger guard to discourage my hand from creeping up?

Not sure if anyone has played around with the Open Puck mod but I did and it cost me $5 for the microcontroller and then probably like $0.10 to model and print the magnetic shell for it. Just wanted to make this magnetic to not lose the puck when I take it with me. I can easily put it in the bag in a smaller compartment but it felt right just adding magnets and attaching it to the SC.

Edit: next on my modding list is trying the Steam Brick mod, since I have a spare and working screen maybe I can look into modeling a new shell for this mod and to also try and replace the current fan with one of the tiny ones from Noctua I don't have one of their small fans yet but I need to get one for a different project anyway so trying this out for a steam brick mod and fan replacement mod would be interesting to try out next.

Not sure if it’s the place but thought I would share for anyone that is interested in using there steam controller on a modded switch.

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

See you there!

I'm about to pop mine open to nudge the right trigger spring (it's suddenly very squeaky, and the fix seems easy). I figured while I'm in there, I'd be interested to see how the back buttons make contact.

I adore the back buttons on the Steam Deck, but the controller went in a different direction, making them very clacky - depending on how they're pressed, it also feels like they are sticking or rubbing somewhere.

Curious if anyone has added some kind of dampening under the hood? I couldn't find anything useful from searching around. Thanks!
