fr? i have had the questionable honour to witness several battery depletions from my deck waking up because i was near them with my paired headphones without noticing. So glancing at this post had my hopes up for a few hot seconds :<

Add support for the Proteus Byowave controller
That sure looks like an interesting device, but I cannot imagine that being worth the โฌ300 for anyone. I would expect that even someone who really needs a far-from-standard controller for accessibility reasons could find a better (albeit less reconfigurable) option to suit their needs.
biblically-accurate game controller
Yeah it's definitely an interesting and unique design, so it doesn't exactly surprise me that it costs AU$525. Disability tax is kind of a fact of life honestly, between products being for a smaller niche of the community, and the knowledge that insurance of some sort is often paying for it. Comparatively though, Microsoft's Adaptive Controller starts at only AU$130, but that isn't really a full controller OOTB. You need at least a couple of joysticks, and a few more buttons, which cost almost as much as the controller again each, pushing up towards the cost of the Byowave device. However, it's a fully extensible platform using simple 3.5mm TS and TRS for buttons, analogue triggers and sticks. Plus two USB-A inputs for joysticks as well. This allows for much more specialised inputs such as Sip and Puff switches, but these start at US$325 (AU$515).
I guess my point is that it's not great, but it's not terrible either for certain niches.
It's good to see Valve is so invested in making gaming on Linux awesome. ๐ ๐ ๐

08:47 Impossible? Wake on Bluetooth w/ the LCD Deck
I tried it out. The current lack of BLE support excludes a fair number of controllers (Steam Controller, Xbox Series Controller amongst them). Waking with a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller works but getting the controller to properly connect after that is finnicky, oddly enough.
I am crazy stoked about this! My primary play setup is hooked up to a TV with a Bluetooth controller and this means I can wake the deck from the couch finally ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Yeah, I noticed it a couple of days ago with my OLED steam deck, where apparently that's been a thing for longer already.
