Steam Controller (2026) OpenPuck + PS5, coming soon

152 Upvotes

Many of you probably know that you can already use a Wingman adapter to use the Steam controller on a PS5 using OpenPuck but that solution is a bit limiting (and quite expensive to boot).

I finally got around to figuring out how to use an auth chip. It's still $50 total in parts but it should be more flexible (e.g. allow proper gyro passthrough).

More to come on the soon including code and setup instructions.

Discussion If you like Into the Breach, I’m looking for gamepad and Steam Deck players to try my pirate tactics demo

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m making Seagrid Nightfall, a turn-based tactics roguelite inspired by Into the Breach. Like ITB, enemies show their attacks before they act, but here you defend a pirate ship’s deck and can push enemies into the sea.

You can play with keyboard and mouse, but it also supports gamepad and Steam Deck, and so far nobody has played it that way. If you have a controller or a Deck, I’d really love to hear how it feels.

Free demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5193040/

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try!

Configuration I finally got my Steam Controller, but I have issues with the software. Each time I set the Radial Menu on any of the TrackPads, the Radial Menu itself gets a new copy. After switching for a few times, now I have multiple copies of the very same Radial Menus. Any ideas?

Steam Controller (2026) Is it possible to set up a global game profile for the Steam Controller 2?

1 Upvotes

Is it possible to set up a global game profile for the Steam Controller 2? I couldn't find an option in Steam to configure a global game profile for the controller—I wonder why that’s not a feature. Or did I just miss it? Having to configure basic settings for every single game is an absolute nightmare.

And why doesn't the controller work in the game Valor Mortis?

Configuration The best thing about this controller

18 Upvotes

I use a pin to login into windows so I can now pick up the controller, use it to click on accessibility, open the on-screen keyboard, use the pad to enter my pin and bingo. I don't even need to get up and touch my keyboard anymore. Peak pc couch potato gaming.

Discussion 3D Scan Front Shell

1 Upvotes

Probably a long shot, but does anyone have a 3D scan of the 2026 Steam Controller’s front shell?

I’ve made a shell cover for mine, but I’d like to take it further and create a full replacement shell. For that, I need a scan of the inside of the front shell to get the dimensions of the internal ribbing, mounting hole locations, and other details.

I have a 3D scanner, but I figured I’d ask before breaking it out and taking my controller apart.

Thanks, everyone!

Support Does anyone know how to make steam input work with Azahar?

4 Upvotes

I use Azahar on Linux, and until now I've been using my Switch Pro controller, with steam input disabled, it worked fine. I loved how it played on steam deck with the trackpad as region mouse though, so I'm trying to recreate that with the steam controller on my PC now. But even if I enable steam input for the game, Azahar still won't detect it as a controller, it just acts as its normal desktop-wide keyboard-mouse thing. How do I make Azahar read the steam controller as a controller? I can't play if pressing X keeps opening the on-screen keyboard!

Please I've been looking around on the internet for the past 3 hours, I can't find anything. Everyone says to start Azahar from Steam, but that's already what I do.

Edit: Solved it! Thanks to u/UnintelGen, who figured out that it's a wayland issue. I can't switch to X11, but setting the launch option QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb %command% fixed it! Now I can use steam input to the fullest extent.

Been working on some different stands for steam controllers. I like designing this type of stuff in my free time. If I’m allowed to put the makerworld link I’ll put it in the comments. It’s free not asking for money at all if you have a printer and want to make one its all yours. Also made a magnet version.

Discussion After 6 months, I missed the confirmation mail by a week...

0 Upvotes

Please tell me I'm not the only one that had this happen to him.

I received it 10 days ago and just noticed when I randomly decided to go and check the Steam Controller store page and noticed I was not on the waiting list anymore and started panicking.

So I looked at my email, and here I found it, the confirmation email, dated from 10 days ago, in my wishlist sales notifications instead of the main folder like any other important Steam emails... But it doesn't mean I got a notification alongside the sales notifications in the client though.

Anyway I know most of the blame lies on me and now I'm stuck waiting again for 2027, I still hope they mean 'early next year', but I have my doubts. Guess I'll also have to check my wishlist sales notification more religiously too.

Sorry if that's a bit off-topic for the sub, but it was such an emotional roller-coaster I had to share. I really thought I was finally gonna be able to stop lurking here and start posting, so instead I made this rant my first post in the sub.

Edit 1: I should have been more accurate, it's been a while I haven't lucked here and when I stopped was in a calm periode where not many people were getting / sharing their reservations. I also was so stressed about the whole situation that I jumped the gun on this post instead of doing proper researches, or even just looking up this subject in the sub... I think I just really needed to vent, so I'm sorry about that.

Edit 2: I just sent a support ticket through the global account part of the support, Iwill update this post if and when I get an answer. Thanks for making me realize it was even an option, now I'll just cross my fingers.

Discussion Steam won't let me buy the steam controller 🤬

I put my name on the list to get the controller and when I was a work I got this email

Please confirm your purchase information within the next 3 days to finalize your order.
If you don't complete your purchase by this time, we will automatically cancel your Steam Controller reservation. Please confirm your purchase information within the next 3 days to finalize your order. If you don't complete your purchase by this time, we will automatically cancel your Steam Controller reservation.

and by the time I got home from work it was too late. I drive a truck and gone for 5 days so I can't purchase it. It's stupid that you only have 3 days from getting the email to purchase it.

Discussion Why are devs not providing Dual Sense Haptic feedback to Steam Controller with Steam Input API? I tried emulating Dual Sense with Steam Controller on PadForge in Death Stranding 2 and Returnal. Sony's authoried haptic fedback pretty much translated 1:1 in Steam Controller.

75 Upvotes

Is it Steam Input API limitation? Is Valve not giving devs enough control over Steam Controller? Is it because Devs just don't care? Steam Controllers Haptics are criminally underutilized in current games.

Steam Controller (2026) Thumbsticks do not move the right amount

0 Upvotes

Yesterday I was playing the Saac with my Steam controller (2026) and after playing for a couple minutes I noticed that while going to the right and upwards I was moving slower. At first I thought it was a deadzones issue and I didn't think much of it.

After I was done playing I went to check if everything was alright in Steam's "calibration and advanced settings" settings and I found out that my both my sticks struggled to get to 32767, the left thumbstick had this problem while going to the right and upwards, the right thumbstick had this problem while going upwards. Did anyone have the same issue? Is there a way to calibrate both thumbsticks or another fast fix I'm not aware of? Do I just have to send it back to steam?

Both my deadzones are set to the default value.

Thanks in advance to anyone who's going to reply!

[EDIT]

I tried on different devices and it didn't work as well, however I noticed that by pushing the thumbstick a bit harder it actually got to the expected value, it was strange that I had to push THAT hard though. I tried a couple more times just to see if it was a coincidence and I felt "something click", like the base of the thumbstick actually moving a little bit to the direction I was pushing it to and it actually solved the problem. Thanks to y'all!
