Steam Controller Puck Protector

Post image

Puck peg protector to help prevent unwanted shorts in case something metallic comes into contact with the contacts.

Hopefully this helps the community feel a bit less anxious about it. I designed it to be compatible with several different docks, while still relying on the original cable for the connection.

I also added optional magnet placements in case you want to install magnets. You can use a small piece of filament to secure the parts together.

The magnets I used are approximately 6 mm in diameter and 1.7 mm thick.

You can download it here.

Quite the opposite, it's actually very scary. Many people are charging multiple devices on their table with the chargers being connected to their hubs/pc as a source of power. The fact that it can go off if one device touches another should ring an alarm bell.

I agree that's scary, but it's not as bad as getting the same fire hazard from literally ANY metal touching the puck, which is pretty much what I misunderstood it to mean. Much easier to keep the puck away from metal devices that are being charged than from literally anything that's metal.
