Don't buy the new Steam Controller.It requires proprietary firmware.Enough has been said. Valve can't be trusted.
@e277f9e5075a can't wait for GNU/Controller
@60a7d21d3d03 Most controllers don't even have updateable firmware and are just "dumb" input devices without anyproprietary software.

@4817ae51eb52 @60a7d21d3d03 I do not think it is unreasonable to expect any manufacturer of any hardware in the entire world to provide the source code with their product.
Just release it. Just add a license file and set that git repo to "public". It takes 1 minute of work.
