Bonus notes:
- I know the Wilhem scream is an easter egg on it. I couldn't get it to trigger and don't feel like throwing it even harder to do so.
- People may not realize this is a *very* Steam dependent controller. If you want a controller that is generically good for non- #Steam games as well - this is probably not the controller for you
Steam must be running for it to work with all its intended functionality, as the help guide mentions.

To anyone trying to buy a Steam Controller right now: If you get an error message just keep clicking!
I just got one after ~100 mouse clicks.

Finished Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator tonight (as in, I got all achievements)
Completed in 20 hours.
It definitely needs more content (which is coming) and could do with a bit more automation (eg: A staff member answering customer queries or picking up a reserved movie)

Lots of discounted games on Steam right now for Next Fest, which goes to March 2. I just got 11 games for less than $20 total. Gotta love Steam, man 😂

I appreciate the effort Valve is putting into Proton to enable games to run on Linux. But couldn’t the developers just develop natively for Linux?
Change my mind.

As promised, here's the game play footage of the tiny Virtual Pinball machine playing my most favorite layout: Mexico 86 Deluxe. See previous posts for the specs of the hardware. #Steam #ZaccariaPinball

Nice things about the experience though?
Can confirm the Puck works with macOS.
Once you get past the Privacy setting configuration, Steam on macOS was able to natively update both the firmware of the Puck and the controller (needed to plug into each, one after the other) - which was pleasant to see, as that kind of thing can be overlooked
Also - in Big Picture mode they have a nice indicator for remaining battery life on the #steamcontroller
Overall, I think my primary usage for this will continue to be as a controller for #SteamDeck - but it's feels nice to have as an option for Mac as well
(2/2)

If you're trying to play Mewgenics via #CrossOver on #macOS in #Steam and you get crackling audio, exit the game and Steam and then launch Wine Configuration and add the Mewgenics exe in your Steam app folder to the "Applications" tab and set the compatibility level to (yes) "Windows XP"
Can confirm this worked for me - adding this tidbit to my workarounds knowledge

In Rogue-FP on Steam, EVERYTHING is made of letters. When you kill a monster and come back later, there will often be flies (capital 'F' letters) flying around the remains 😂

Ok - here's my #macOS (Tahoe) specific #steamcontroller #gaming #steam personal experience, having tried it out:
So - it works!
BUT
The setup process from Valve does you no favors. While their help guide (help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/) has a Mac specific setup section - the on-screen setup in the Steam client itself does not help out Mac users at all
The guide mentions you need to grant Steam "Input Monitoring" permission - but until I did this, Steam didn't even agree the controller was connected (via USB directly or via the Puck)
And then the second permission "Accessibility" was explicitly necessary if you wanted to do a mouse and keyboard game and it needed to move the cursor (I chose Scritchy Scratchy as a test for this specific reason, especially since they just added macOS support)
Another downside: the default keyboard and mouse layout for the controller maps shoulder buttons to scroll up and down - but only a single increment per press! I had to reconfigure it to enable turbo/repeated scrolling events.
(1/2)
