Greetings! We have exciting news to share for those of you who want to hack, mod, or design accessories for the Steam Controller and Puck.
Today we're making the CAD files for the external shell (surface topology) of Steam Controller and Puck available for download under a Creative Commons license. This includes an STP model of each, an STL model of each, and an engineering drawing with critical features/keep outs for each. You can find the files here. We can't wait to see what you all...
Just build one yourself if it’s so easy… I’m sure you won’t run into any problems mapping the gyro, touchpad, or additional buttons to an xinput controller, it’s super easy right?
What an absolutely absurd non-argument. How can someone with no access to their codebase extract the bit of steam that makes the controller work? I’m not going to spend $100 on a controller amd then do Valve’s work for them.
Valve made the controller and they did add support for their controller inside steam. Just extract the controller compatibility layer and make it standalone. Don’t force people to use steam. It’s not a wild thing to ask. I also never said they should use xinput.
My point was there is no standard input library that the controller would map to without losing functionality.
It’s not like valve told everyone who wants to play non steam games to fuck off, they built a way for you to launch non steam games through steam then the controller will work.

Stop defending rich corporations, it’s lame.
