I don't think they use the same wireless radio.

The steam controller 2015 dongle uses NRF24LU1P.
Someone else managed to flash its firmware on an alternative board: https://im-just-lee.ing/steam-controller-d0ggle-54682aa4/

Interesting. If it uses ESB I might be able to integrate it then. Won't know until I get back home and try with the original steam controller

yea i remember people was searching those dongles because they could be flashed with a special firmware.
i think they could support htc vives lightroom trackers, and they was able to handle multiples trackers at once without lag.
instead of needing a dongle by tracker.
simplifying a lot their full body vr setup.

I'd be interested in Q/A'ing it if the will's there and the hardware's capable.

Another +1 here. Orig controller highly underrated.

The protocol used by SC2015 is different and we would only be able to do either or, not both at the same time. I'm not going to implement SC2015 for OpenPuck but I do plan on doing that for picopuck (which would be Bluetooth based)
