    I really regretted only buying one the first time around. At least I got the backplate with the dongle storage.

      I think I missed this perk, I’m pretty sure mine doesn’t have it? I’ll need to look again. Either way, the dongle vanished ages ago, so I guess it’s moot…

        It didn’t ship with my controller, I had to order it extra. I looked it up and apparently they started shipping the backplate standard with the second run of controllers. Hopefully the new controller also uses a dongle, because good god do I hate Bluetooth. Being able to plug the damn thing in and have it work on any machine instead of faffing about with BT unpairing and repairing like I do with my Xbox controller is so nice.

        I remember them making it available as an STL file for 3d printing but I never saw them selling it directly

    I missed out on the original steam controller. Now that I’ve used the steam deck I will absolutely be picking up a couple of these.

    Honestly loved my Steam controller. Not even sure what happened to it? I’d definitely buy another one though
