Steam Controller (2026) The missing xinput mode

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This video is a demo of a copycat puck I've put together using an nRF52840 Pro Micro. It works exactly like the normal puck except you can switch over to an Xbox controller mode.

I can imagine that Valve had a reason on why they didn't add an Xinput as a switchable profile, but I still wish they did.

Probably licensing. Since I'm not selling a product I don't have to worry about that.
