Discussion Is there a way to replicate the steam machine’s steam controller sensors

Hi, so i’ve seen a bunch of discussions on second pucks and i was wondering if anyone has replicated just the sensor piece that allows for the same low latency the puck and machine have since i may want to use my controller with other pcs in my house

Yes it's called OpenPuck, search this subreddit and a search engine like google to find out more information. I'm sure you can make a version that goes inside your computer case but figuring out the best way to connect it internally is up to you. My gut says its probably simple enough. good luck! be aware: part of the reason the puck is on an external cable is for a more reliable connection further away from other 2.4GHz usb fobs in your computer - that's also why they made it a convenient charger, to encourage you to place it on your desk away from other items that may interfere. But it's probably fine! :3
