FAQs
Is this compatible with Xbox or PlayStation controllers?
No, this dock is specifically designed for the form factor and contact points of the Steam Controller.
Do I need to leave my PC on to charge?
The dock requires a power source; if you are using a PC USB port, that port must provide power (usually through a standby mode) or you may use a dedicated USB wall adapter.
How do I know the controller is charging?
Check the LED status indicator on your Steam Controller to verify that it is receiving a charge once placed on the dock.
Does the dock come with a charging cable?
The unit is designed to integrate into your existing setup; ensure you have a standard USB cable compatible with your power source.
Can I use the dock to store the controller if it's already charged?
Yes, the dock serves as an excellent upright stand for storage even when the controller does not require active charging.
Is the finish prone to fingerprints?
The black finish is designed for durability; however, as with any dark plastic surface, light buffing with a microfiber cloth will keep it looking pristine.
Troubleshooting
Controller not charging
Ensure the controller is fully seated in the dock and the magnetic contacts are aligned correctly. Check that the USB cable is fully inserted into a powered port.
Dock wobbles on surface
Ensure the surface is flat and free of debris. Verify that no cables are bunched up underneath the base of the dock.
