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

You better jump on this one because there will never be a 3rd. 🥲

I'm sure they'll make a steam controller: episode 1.

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...

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

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.
