Received email Friday after five pm local, ordered within 10 minutes.
Arrived Monday morning while tracking said Tuesday!
Gotten to try it out yesterday afternoon and have to say I’m in love! It’s very comfy to hold, not heavy, nice and responsive to inputs.
Now looking for a storage/travel case that allows charging in the case with the puck (similar to Xbox elite). Attached is the complementary picture of box. Can’t wait to be done working today.

Discussion Steam support is incredible

A few days ago, I realized that some of the controllers marked to ship out starting 2027 had been getting earlier purchase windows, but I'd missed it because I don't usually check the email I use for steam (except for things like that). I asked about it, and was shunted right back to the front and able to purchase it within an hour, getting it on Wednesday.

Discussion Game project

6 Upvotes

I have been working on a prototype game fully utilizing all the Steam Controller (2026) inputs. I am at the point where I have 100% confidence the idea is feasible, and I have lots of ideas.

I have to wonder though, how many people would play a game that requires a Steam Controller? There is a lot that can be done with it, but I am thinking it should also be playable on mouse and keyboard, and maybe other controllers too.

Without a doubt, the more people that can play it, the more people will. But I also think that the more accessible it is, the less unique/enjoyable it may become.

Discussion Purchasing extra pucks

Will valve sell pucks separately? I have my puck placed beside my computer on the desk but would like an extra one to keep on my bedside table so I can alternate charging locations whether im at the desk or im in bed using my projector hooked up to my computer.

Configuration Configure the trackpad to the best

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone if this conversation already exists I apologize but I wanted to know if you have guides or suggestions on how to configure the trackpad in the best way even on action games. I saw videos of people who optimized it for the classic weapon or skill wheel but I couldn’t replicate it. Does anyone know how to do it? Or even other suggestions?

How do you use trackpads?

Steam Controller (2026) FINALLY ordered a controller...

2 Upvotes

ETA: SOLVED, thank you all!

....BUT I am giving it as a gift to my fiance. Due to account restrictions I know I can only order one. I was wondering if there is a way to change the account it is under after it arrives? If not, no biggy, I'll order under his some other day, but was kinda hoping there would be. I can't find anything on the support site pertaining to this.

Steam Controller (2026) Weird question, but what happens when you unplug and plug the puck?

1 Upvotes

Like, does it start seeking and reconnect automatically after it's plugged back in, or does it require manual intervention? I ask because a project I'm working on. Generally the more I talk the less I do it so I'm not gonna talk about it until it's further along. But I don't have a controller to test this with.

Configuration Rumble function.

1 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone has noticed that when using steam less controller software the rumble seems a lot more punchy and noticeable in games outside of steam? Playing Gears E over game pass I noticed it almost instantly. When I use it with a steam game it just seems weaker or a lot less pronounced.

Steam Controller (2026) Tips/help with gyro

1 Upvotes

I play on the couch, have used controller most of my life. I tend to move frequently when gaming, readjusting my seating position, moving my hands to the sides, they are not always over my lap or facing the screen, sometimes controller is facing high up, or to the side so there is not a lot more i can rotate it to that specific side with gyro for example. Is that something i gotta get used to for using gyro, like keeping my hands more steady/less mobile, or increasing the sensitivity of it? I have gyro and stick controlling the camera, since my idea is to mainly use the stick and adjust it with gyro. Just wondering what helped others that were new to gyro to get used to it or some issues they run into and how they fixed it
