• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller: Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve released a couple firmware/steam updates for people having doubled inputs, so definitely make sure you have those all installed. A new firmware update for the controller was released last night.

  You shouldn’t be having any signal issues at that range, so you either have something defective or some really bad signal interference. I’m leaning towards something being defective, because my puck doesn’t have line of sight, is immediately next to a router and a bunch of bluetooth devices, and hasn’t had any connection issues. You also mentioned the issues happening while wired, which definitely suggests a controller issue and not a connection problem.

  Yes, you would have had to downloaded a recent update, and run it at least twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Help] I received the controller today, and a failed firmware update already bricked it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the update! That’s really good to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Help] I received the controller today, and a failed firmware update already bricked it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the support page:

  help.steampowered.com/en/…/33E8-5EDF-24E6-4CFB

  Flashing red should mean that the controller is in software update mode, trying to connect. I’d recommend restarting steam (or steamOS), and then plugging the controller straight into the usb C cable while it’s still off. If that doesn’t work, then you’ll probably just need to wait for Steam to get back in touch with you.

  If steam support provides a button combination to reset the controller or something similar, please share it.

  Yeah, I’m definitely not confirming it with my controller.

  It also trys to steal passwords/keys/etc, the Russian roulette part is just extra for people in Israel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also I thought this part was interesting:

  Special note for Israeli users: If the malware determines that your location is Israel (it does this via locale and timezone checks) then it has a 1:6 chance that it will play a loud siren sound and run rm -rf /, essentially attempting to wipe your filesystem.

  There is a grub setting for that, but usually the motherboard bios/uefi is responsible for passing input devices on to grub. Other motherboards may not have this same issue.

  The four models are probably 2 storage sizes, with or without an included controller.

  It’s angled, but it’s also narrower than the deck, which can make angled grips more necessary. I’ve heard both sides, some people say the grip angle is more comfortable than the deck, others say it’s not angled enough to make up for how much skinnier it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller First Impressions and some Issues on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For the GRUB issue, it was probably using the Steam controller as the primary keyboard. Without steam running, the controller works as keyboard and mouse, so you can navigate bios/etc with it. On the GRUB screen, you could have probably selected the boot up option with the controller.

  I’m guessing by changing USB ports, you now have your regular keyboard on an “earlier” USB port, so it takes priority over the controller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got my Steam Controller today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, finally got picked up by the carrier end of day Friday, and then got an estimated delivery date today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨deckyloader QAM bug [help] (SOLVED!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you go into Big Picture mode in desktop, it’s basically the regular deck UI, QAM menu included.

  That said, you can also open steam console in game mode, and view any errors there. Go to Settings>Developer Menu>Misc>Steam Console. This will add a console item to the standard steam menu, that will show all console logs after adding the console. Then they should be able to open the QAM menu and see if any specific errors show up.

  Playable with Deck controls, but that’s probably through a community input profile.

  A lot of people commented on earlier threads that they got one ordered, but I haven’t seen anyone here mention getting one yet.

  Sounds like some people started receiving theirs yesterday, but tracking details on mine show it hasn’t been picked up by the carrier yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good, I’m glad they’re trying to make this easier on people. Shame there’s no mention of when a restock might actually happen though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller and Puck CAD files now available!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s hard to say before we can try it out, but it defaults to generic keyboard/mouse controls for desktop. I haven’t seen any official confirmation if you can swap it to a generic gamepad like the steam deck controls by holding start/menu.

  There’s also a 3rd party program for managing the original steam controller, hopefully we’ll see it support this one as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨50 T of "game consoles" imported by Valve in the past week⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, it feels like if this was Steam Machines, valve would have waited and released them bundled with the controller. I’m assuming them launching the controller by itself was because they didn’t have Steam Machines ready to go yet.

  So I’m assuming this means this is more likely to be the Steam Frame or Steam Deck, but we’ll see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller is Out of Stock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play docked occasionally, but there are a lot of games I don’t feel like I can play docked without backbuttons/trackpads/gyro/etc. I’m assuming a lot of the people who really wanted to buy one of these were in the same camp as me, where they constantly felt inconvenienced by the lack of deck controls when using regular controllers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone manage to order a controller?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tired buying on PC but couldn’t get it to go through. Started trying on mobile, and that was where I finally got my order in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone manage to order a controller?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently they’re toggling it back and forth between in stock and out of stock, so there’s still hope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Controller is Out of Stock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one, took about 11 min of trying before the card would process. During that time I would try 2x every 30 sec to 1 min.

  Store was seemingly working fine, just payment processors being overloaded as far as I could tell.
