  • Got my Steam Controller today

    Jump

  • It's angled, but it's also narrower than the deck, which can make angled grips more necessary. I've heard both sides, some people say the grip angle is more comfortable than the deck, others say it's not angled enough to make up for how much skinnier it is.

  • Steam Controller First Impressions and some Issues on Linux

    Jump

  • For the GRUB issue, it was probably using the Steam controller as the primary keyboard. Without steam running, the controller works as keyboard and mouse, so you can navigate bios/etc with it. On the GRUB screen, you could have probably selected the boot up option with the controller.

    I'm guessing by changing USB ports, you now have your regular keyboard on an "earlier" USB port, so it takes priority over the controller.

  • Got my Steam Controller today

    Jump

  • Same here, finally got picked up by the carrier end of day Friday, and then got an estimated delivery date today.

  • deckyloader QAM bug [help] (SOLVED!)

    Jump

  • If you go into Big Picture mode in desktop, it's basically the regular deck UI, QAM menu included.

    That said, you can also open steam console in game mode, and view any errors there. Go to Settings>Developer Menu>Misc>Steam Console. This will add a console item to the standard steam menu, that will show all console logs after adding the console. Then they should be able to open the QAM menu and see if any specific errors show up.

  • Play classic WoW offline on the deck with NPC players

    Jump

  • Playable with Deck controls, but that's probably through a community input profile.

  • Play classic WoW offline on the deck with NPC players

    Jump

  • Yeah the guy is rambling a little bit in the guide video. Does mention he's barely slept the past week while he tried to get this install script setup, so that explains the video some I think.

  • Play classic WoW offline on the deck with NPC players

    Jump

  • There's apparently different options during the install. You can do "solocraft" that apparently makes it possible to do all dungeons and raids by yourself.

    There also two different mods that can populate the world with bot players. The bots will wander the world fighting stuff and adventuring, but you can also invite them to your party to do raids/etc.

  • A hacker ran me over with a robot lawn mower | The Verge

    Jump

  • Some speculation on the Steam Controller and scalpers

    Jump

  • A lot of people commented on earlier threads that they got one ordered, but I haven't seen anyone here mention getting one yet.

    Sounds like some people started receiving theirs yesterday, but tracking details on mine show it hasn't been picked up by the carrier yet.

  • Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th

    Jump

  • Good, I'm glad they're trying to make this easier on people. Shame there's no mention of when a restock might actually happen though.

  • Steam Controller and Puck CAD files now available!

    Jump

  • It's hard to say before we can try it out, but it defaults to generic keyboard/mouse controls for desktop. I haven't seen any official confirmation if you can swap it to a generic gamepad like the steam deck controls by holding start/menu.

    There's also a 3rd party program for managing the original steam controller, hopefully we'll see it support this one as well.

  • 50 T of "game consoles" imported by Valve in the past week

    Jump

  • Honestly, it feels like if this was Steam Machines, valve would have waited and released them bundled with the controller. I'm assuming them launching the controller by itself was because they didn't have Steam Machines ready to go yet.

    So I'm assuming this means this is more likely to be the Steam Frame or Steam Deck, but we'll see.

  • Steam Controller is Out of Stock*

    Jump

  • I play docked occasionally, but there are a lot of games I don't feel like I can play docked without backbuttons/trackpads/gyro/etc. I'm assuming a lot of the people who really wanted to buy one of these were in the same camp as me, where they constantly felt inconvenienced by the lack of deck controls when using regular controllers.

  • Steam Controller is Out of Stock*

    Jump

  • RIP, there really should be a less shitty way to buy stuff like this

  • Anyone manage to order a controller?

    Jump

  • I tired buying on PC but couldn't get it to go through. Started trying on mobile, and that was where I finally got my order in.

  • Anyone manage to order a controller?

    Jump

  • Apparently they're toggling it back and forth between in stock and out of stock, so there's still hope

  • Anyone manage to order a controller?

    Jump

  • It's apparently going in and out of stock in waves, so there's still hope

  • Steam Controller is Out of Stock*

    Jump

  • I got one, took about 11 min of trying before the card would process. During that time I would try 2x every 30 sec to 1 min.

    Store was seemingly working fine, just payment processors being overloaded as far as I could tell.

  • Steam Controller is Out of Stock*

    Jump

  • The apparent issue is the payment processor (visa/etc) getting overloaded. To avoid it in the future it sounds like you can preload your steam account with the funds (~$108usd where I live due to 8% tax), which will let you bypass the worst of the checkout errors.

  • Anyone manage to order a controller?

    Jump

  • Mine just went through suddenly.

    Store had been working fine for me, but the processing card step of the checkout has been broken for me.
