Though an earlier prototype had a shelf to hold the controller in place, they say that the magnets inside the charging puck are actually powerful enough to hold the controller up. The puck is a small, well, puck that comes with the Steam Controller that functions both as a charger and as a connector to your PC. It&#8217;s pretty neat.<\/p>\n<p>The plate holds the puck in place with friction, and there&#8217;s a small space to fit the end of the USB Type-C cable into. Importantly, it doesn&#8217;t have the wire for the puck sticking out of the top of the plate either, giving it a pretty clean aesthetic. You can even use the faceplate by itself as a rudimentary stand, though I think it might look a tad funny given its size. <\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-XZKx1e\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/XZKx1e.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The creator says they are still finishing the final touches and also says they&#8217;re open to DMs from Valve, Jsaux or Dbrand, if any of the companies want to chat about the design.<\/p>\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/steammachine\/comments\/1vf9ej8\/comment\/p1n7ex4\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web3x&#038;utm_name=web3xcss&#038;utm_term=1&#038;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\">commenter<\/a> calls it &#8220;slightly ugly, and insanely functional&#8221;, and that seems like a pretty fair description.

I think the puck is great, and I wish more controllers came with a charger\/connector combo, but the puck alone means I&#8217;d leave the Steam Controller just lying on a desk, often not charging.
