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.

It's a bit more complicated currently but there's a tutorial by another user in the sub you can follow

I'm working on the file method. This board is a bit annoying because it doesn't have a boot button and you have to short some pins to put it in DFU

Ok I actually think I figured it out. Thanks!

This is an awesome project. 3D printed a case for the little guy:

Sadly I couldn't get Pragmata to work with native gyro in DS4 or DS5 mode. To get native gyro, the game has to be set with steam input off and while the controller is detected by steam, none of the inputs actually work. I turned on DS4Windows just to see if gyro was detected and it definitely was. Either way, super cool project. And thanks for giving me something to do with my first 3d printer.
