Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/safijari/openpuck/issues/205
Successfully paired Steam Controller to OpenPuck device and controller inputs are registered on computer and in games, but in Steam Settings and under the Steam Controller details the serial number that appears in the pairing slot is wrong. Instead of showing the OpenPuck serial number that appears under the Steam Settings Puck details, it actually shows the serial number of the Steam Controller.
Unsure if this is the same issue or a separate issue, but if a 2nd puck (eg official puck) is paired to the same Steam Controller using the controller's other pairing slot, the data for the 2nd puck doesn't show at all under that controller's details inside Steam. The pairing info only shows the above mentioned incorrect data for the OpenPuck. However when I force the Steam controller to pair with the seemingly missing 2nd puck (official puck) by pressing Steam+LB+A, the controller successfully connects to the 2nd puck, plus the pairing info is populated with correct serial number data from both pucks.

It will also always claim to be paired to slot 1 (A+RB), even if it is paired to slot 2 (A+LB).

I'm fairly certain that that bug is a consequence of #227 which means certain metadata is filled with fake / generated data by OpenPuck instead of being queried from the actual controller like the real puck does.
