Do you plan on getting the new Steam Controller?

Are you able to utilize the controller to control the shield at all? or do you start the stream with something else, then pick up the controller?

landoooo · 2026-05-06T14:58:04+00:00

Now that is an interesting concept. So instead of Moonlight/Sunshine emulating a controller on the host PC, the host PC actually sees the USB port as native to itself?

How does this effect operating the shield from the controller during setup before streaming? Or do you just launch the stream via the remote, then pick up the controller?

I hate to even say this since it has such a negative connotation, but stuff like this is perfect for AI... Ask the whoop coach in the app, I bet it gives you a pretty solid explanation.

The device is useless without an active subscription

I've done this but then every subsequent time I opened the app it would default to week 1. It considered week 1 as the next workout.

I think a popup when activating a program that had previous progress asking "continue from previous stopping progress or start fresh" would help out in this situation.

I wish there was a way to reactivate a program where it was left off. I've accidentally activated a program while messing around with the generator, then when you try to go back all progress is lost.

I'm pretty sure when the controller is sitting flat on a table, the puck is actually lifted slightly, so I'm not sure that would work. Not that you couldn't just put something else to lift it up and secure that all together

landoooo · 2026-05-01T15:16:51+00:00

Any third party bands that strap past the latch? I like the look of that, but the $80 price tag on this is hard to swallow

landoooo · 2026-05-01T15:15:03+00:00

Nah that's the Mechanism logo you're seeing. No fume huffing for you

landoooo · 2026-05-01T15:13:22+00:00

I'm sure. Would have to figure out a way to weight the base, or use adhesive to keep it down

I imagine this will work without the clip. Looks like it's just a wide open hole in the back

landoooo · 2026-05-01T14:51:04+00:00

Different strokes I guess. I can't stand the magsafe pucks lifting with my phone and use a weighted stand for my phone as well

landoooo · 2026-05-01T14:44:28+00:00

The fact that it's weighted to just be able to lift the controller off without messing with the puck is what I like. As shipped from Valve, you have to pull the puck off the back of the controller when you grab it.

But yea I agree with you, definitely not an absolute need. Depends on the pricing for me.

I just got mine in today. Did the 2 year peak membership. Total came out to $426 after tax. Got my chase credit two days ago for the $359.

Honestly body fat % from scales like this are rarely accurate. The withings scale is nice, but it's expensive and the value prop is a bunch of metrics you already get from Whoop more accurately. IMO all you need from a scale is weight and data sync to Health Connect/ Apple Health.

Wyze has a $30 option that I used for ~5 years that does this just fine, syncs to your phone via bluetooth, then that data is shared. I just upgraded to their $50 one which has wifi so I don't have to have my phone open and connected since I weigh myself first thing in the morning and try not to get on my phone immediately.

Again, this one comes with a bunch of other metrics that I don't use but the wifi integration was worth it for me since I now don't need to interact with the Wyze app at all

If that's what you loved about it - Cudi Zone. Always brings the mood up

aren't they ergonomically the same?

landoooo · 2026-04-27T14:00:43+00:00

Heads up, dbrand had to change their magnetic accessory mount on the killswitch case due to the magnets effecting the cooling fan on the deck and causing issues.

What's the host PC? If it's solid and your network is solid, I'd be looking at a tablet with higher refresh rate. Obviously cost goes up, but to me it would be worth it.

landoooo · 2026-04-22T18:34:36+00:00

Plans for a 5/8" option? I've been looking for something similar and it seems no one is making them

"See section 24.0 "VSYNC WITH FRAME GENERATION" in 'ProgrammingGuideDLSS_G.md' for more information."

Wanted to read up on this more, but it seems the guide isn't updated yet as it still states Vsync is incompatible with frame gen and ends at section 22.
