One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons (www.pcgamer.com)

Yes but

  • it doesn't let me charge and play at the same time
  • I could hot swap in and out batteries, but it doesn't report battery percentage
  • It also doesn't auto-pause when the battery dies, like other systems do
  • It runs through them quickly
  • it acts finicky/unpredictable when the battery is very low, rather than reaching a consistent threshold and stopping working
  • In combination with a bug/anti-feature I've posted about previously, my Steam Deck sees it as a new controller every time the batteries are replaced, despite the Bluetooth MAC/BDA not changing.

    Fair enough. I much prefer swapping them every few hours rather than using a wire, and I haven't had those identification problems you describe. Largely comes down to setup and usage profile it seems.
