You could ask Steam support for a replacement puck. I think they will offer them separately if demand is high enough.

The biggest problem is apparently it doesnt support basic xinput and requires Steam to function. Hoping a firmware update fixes that.

Wish I could order it without the stupid puck!

And I wish the batteries were easier to swap!

There’s people in this thread that want a second puck, so if you don’t need yours, someone would probably buy it off of you.

I don’t see the problem.

Just leave it attached to the controller that’s moving between devices, the connection to the puck is USB-C so it’s not like you’re moving a bunch of cable and the magnetic attachment is strong enough to not worry about it falling off.

On the other hand, If they have a Steam controller and their GF also has one then they’d have 2 pucks.

Not supporting Xinput is a blessing…

Not being recognised as a generic controller on devices is not a blessing. It’s restrictive and is this controllers biggest downside.

It will never be officially usable outside of steam, but there will 100% be community developed drivers, at least for Linux. The original Steam Controller has had those for years
