It will never be officially usable outside of steam, but there will 100% be community developed drivers, at least for Linux. The original Steam Controller has had those for years
Just leave it attached to the controller that’s moving between devices, the connection to the puck is USB-C so it’s not like you’re moving a bunch of cable and the magnetic attachment is strong enough to not worry about it falling off.
On the other hand, If they have a Steam controller and their GF also has one then they’d have 2 pucks.
You could ask Steam support for a replacement puck. I think they will offer them separately if demand is high enough.
The biggest problem is apparently it doesnt support basic xinput and requires Steam to function. Hoping a firmware update fixes that.

Not supporting Xinput is a blessing…
Not being recognised as a generic controller on devices is not a blessing. It’s restrictive and is this controllers biggest downside.
Wish I could order it without the stupid puck!
And I wish the batteries were easier to swap!
There’s people in this thread that want a second puck, so if you don’t need yours, someone would probably buy it off of you.
I don’t see the problem.
