purchasing separate puck

the controller supports 2 pucks, but valve stated they will not be offering them standalone. big ooofers right there on multiple fronts :crashbcoot:

and no new steam controller forum? not a great launch so far. let's hope they can get their frame/machine worked out :cuphead:

Replacement/extra parts will be handled by IFixIt, Valve's hardware partner.

Inevitably, though, the question of where a user is going to be able to get spare parts from comes up in our chat. "We will be making replacement parts available through iFixit," Valve designer Lawrence Yang tells us. "Just like last time."

Though it's important to note this partnership is not going to be in play straight away when the pads go on sale in May: "It won't be at launch," says Yang, "but after launch they will be made available."

Steam Frame forum

i doubt ifixit would be selling a puck, they sell smaller replacement parts like batteries and sticks. valve already stated if pucks become available they will be sold directly on steam. you can find this information easily.

those forums are not easily reached via the normal means. they really don't want people seeing this stuff or their hardware launch failures.
