2. Steam Input isn't just a nicety, it's a requirement. This means that the controller is basically useless unless you have Steam running (outside of certain contexts that I personally consider niche). If, for example, you have gamepass and want to play FH6 through Gamepass you're gonna be in for a bad time and you'll probalby need specialized software running on your computer in order to make the controller work with it.

OpenPuck uses a [Pro Micro NRF52840](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GSZ7FD6T) ($8 on Amazon, possibly cheaper elsewhere) which uses a radio similar to the one being used by the controller and the puck. Once the arduino sketch is uploaded it emulates the puck over USB to Steam by default and allows pairing the controller normally (almost, the lizard mode for when Steam is off might not be 1:1).

At any point you can hold all 4 back buttons and press X to switch over to ***Xbox mode** which maps all canonical inputs to their expected counterparts (plus L4 -> LB, L5 -> L3, etc which are configurable). In this mode the right trackpad acts as a mouse but at present this only works in Android and SteamOS.

-Similarly you can hold all 4 back buttons and press Y to switch (teehee) over to a **Switch mode**. This emulates a Pokken controller and is very limited (no gyro, no haptics, etc) but it's functional enough for my kids to play Animal Crossing :D.

# How to use it
|
|
|
You will need to flash OpenPuck.ino onto a compatible microcontroller. See [build instructions document](./docs/BUILD_AND_DEPLOY.md) for more details.

# Configuration
|
|
|
-A webusb based configuration UI is available [here](https://safijari.github.io/openpuck/). It allows Switching the mode manually and changing the back button mapping for Xbox mode among other things. This will likely only work in Chrome and Edge and needs the pro micro to be connected via USB to the same computer for it to function.
