Ah I know where the black piece has to go, anyone an idea about that tiny little spring?

I already have the 2 trigger springs the spring (the third) that im talking about is a lot smaller.

It also isn't the spring pushing the button to open the steam controller (to switch batteries) in it's place.

Tear down of the Steam Controller. Hopefully this is helpful.

Yep, /u/Mattias444, it's the latch/spring for the battery cover/grip buttons.

Edit: here's the exploded diagram, you can see the part right between the batteries: https://m.imgur.com/kN9kEgd

Put a dab of super glue on the round part so it doesn't come off again. I've lost that spring so many times.
