The Thing

  1. Make sure you have SteamVR downloaded
  2. Open 2 copies of windows explorer
  3. Send 1 to whatever\Steam\controller_base and copy d0ggle.bin
  4. Open the other to whatever\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\tools\lighthouse\firmware and paste d0ggle.bin there (may need to be under firmware\vr_controller\archive depending on how Steam reacts)
  5. Close Steam completely and make sure any and all VR stuff is unplugged
  6. Go back to tools\lighthouse and shift + right click, then open a Powershell window there
  7. Copy paste “bin\win32\lighthouse_watchman_update.exe -e firmware\vr_controller\archive\d0ggle.bin” there and hit enter
    a. You should see Windows say a Boot ldr is being loaded
  8. Open Steam back up, Windows should say it’s configuring a Steam Controller now
  9. Go to settings, controller, general controller settings, then add new controller
  10. Enjoy!

This is basically just a more condensed version of this post, just now on the Steam Controller Guides section.
