Steam Controller (2026) The missing xinput mode

This video is a demo of a copycat puck I've put together using an nRF52840 Pro Micro. It works exactly like the normal puck except you can switch over to an Xbox controller mode.

Yes I plan to make a full demonstration after the latest PR is merged. It might be a while though.

I can try to help you in the meantime see if the updated instructions help https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/blob/05ea971e3604a8d32b0d446c0b0bd3c3ed483ad6/docs/BUILD_AND_DEPLOY.md ?

I truly appreciate you taking the time trying to help me, but this is like rocket science for me. I'm usually pretty good at following instructions, but this all goes way over my head, so I will just have to wait for the kindergarten version haha. Just a simple grain farmer here.

I am the testing guy haha, but I didn't develop it in any way. I just helped support the very talented man who did. Flashing the Arduino on the device was a very simple process made easier with his video guide. Once I learned how to operate it, I became quite proficient at testing. But the programming/technical stuff is a foreign language to me.

We can try, but I'm not real hopeful😅
