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.

The Mortal Shell 2 Beta runs well in steam deck.

Played Stitchlings on #Steam with my youngest
Cute game. SUPER short, but hey, free - can't complain
But on that note: I *do* wish Steam Remote Play used for multiplayer would die now that it's 2026
There are better choices for network play. I wish they were used. Literally streaming your screen to another device and sharing remote input as though it were local. You both prefer keyboard and mouse gaming? Too bad! Remote Play can't distinguish it.
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 😂

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.

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)
Finally made it a little further in Stray 😻

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 (https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/33E8-5EDF-24E6-4CFB#mac) 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)
