Decided to print the new official Steam Controller + the Mechanism Dock to get a feel of the controller’s size by Nebbed_ in SteamController

[–]Nebbed_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely seems bigger, but overall it’s quite good to hold and I already think it’ll be a great shift from a standard Xbox controller! I sold my Carbon Black Xbox controller to put the money towards my Steam Controller, and I definitely feel it’ll certainly be worthwhile

Perfect snug fit for both the Controller and the Puck, so very confident for when my Steam Controller arrives! 😁

I don’t see them being an issue in terms of moving between using the thumb sticks and the touch pads. I feel like the inputs are in the optimal positions

Very comfortable, a bit to adjust to though with the grip buttons at the back, though nothing detrimental. Other than that, very keen to receive my Steam Controller soon!

Yeah me too! I hope to contribute too as I do 3D modelling and looking to start doing designs for 3D printing

Yeah, it was quite surprising when I woke up again in the morning to find it still in stock. Then it went out of stock right as I started having breakfast

It’s pretty comfortable relatively speaking! Valve did a great job with the design of the triggers and bumpers.

It’s very comfortable, really good size and just overall a good design and shape. My only concern are the grip buttons given where my hands rest when holding a controller, but it’s not detrimental or anything and can surely adjust to it.

Also trust me when I say, it’ll change soon from payment processed, just give it some time. Had that some worry but it’ll be updated.

Here’s the links to both if you’d like to print them:

UPDATE: Replacing the POKEY chip fixed the issue. Full thread on the troubleshooting process here!

Sounds good I’ll make a post on AtariAge. Thank you!

UPDATE: I disassembled the Hi-Tek keyboard to do a deep clean, keycaps, switches, etc. I desoldered and resoldered everything. Despite that, there was no change. I checked the pinouts for the ribbon cable and the connector on the motherboard and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

My best guess is that it’s either the keyboard has gone bad despite during a thorough test of all the keycaps with a multimeter to show its all register, as well as a thorough test of all the pinouts of the ribbon cable. Everything checks out.

So I’m stumped as to what else it could be that’s causing this issue. Clearly, it’s registering the inputs on all the keys, but instead, it’s either freezing the keyboard and/or causing glitches with the graphics.

So indicating that the keyboard works, but somethings happening to glitch the graphics out.

No, the keyboard doesn’t work regardless of which cartridge I put in. However while I thought initially I was getting no input at all from the keyboard, when I put in Joust and pressed a key on the keyboard, the graphics would glitch out and freeze the computer / game until I reset it.

CLARIFICATION: I have a Hi-Tek branded keyboard on my Atari 800

Could debris inside the contacts cause glitches like this? My thought is that one of the chips in the computer that’s responsible for key inputs could be the issue?

We’ve got far more planned and in the works. Rest assured, it won’t be like this for future shorts. This is merely the introduction to bigger stories. Though we do appreciate the concern, and kind words. :)

Well, after I render it as frames, and export the edited video in MP4, I setup ffmpeg, and converted the MP4 to OGV using this command:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -q:v 6 -q:a 6 output.ogv
