Best mods?

I've had my Steam Controller (2) (although I have two of the old steam controllers) for about two months now, and I have absolutely loved it and it instantly replaced my 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and Dualsense. That being said, I'm a mods guy and I really want to mod it. What are some of the best mods I can do? Is there anywhere where I can get a shell for it? Do steam deck buttons/sticks fit it?

Also, I've been playing through a lot of games on my PS2 recently, is there any sort of a way or a project to get openpuck working with a PS2?

Ghostly Skins

This is hard to apply, but so worth it!

Hair dryer worked fine, alignment was easy, just very time consuming and nerve-racking, but yay sucess!

These are from Ghostly Guard. I made the carbon fiber track pad covers because I didn't like the red.

3D printing my dock and grip in black now, because I need the contrast.

Super Minimal OpenPuck 'case'

I love the combined puck/dock/charger idea for the new SC. For stationary use its great, but having a cable + puck isn't the best configuration for travel. I found a small plug-to-plug USBA-C adapter which works well, but the puck's orientation blocks off other ports next to it. I've been living with a really short usbA-to-C cable, but having the puck just kinda flop around off my laptop was very annoying, and I was worried about the puck's pins bridging something metal and causing problems.

So! I got a small NRF8250 board running openpuck, and then made a hyper-minimal 'case' for it. It's still a tad long with the USBA-C converter, but I no longer have the floppy dongle problem.

In case anyone has the same predilictions: https://www.printables.com/model/1866854-openpuck-tiny-cover

I am searching for steam controller shell models (stl).

I know valve released the files but its the full controller and not just the shell. Does anyone have just the shell which theoraticcly would be shell swatch ready?

Is there a way to increase the resistance of the triggers?

I'm liking the new Steam Controller so far, but I have two major gripes. I hate that the triggers are glossy and that there's almost no resistance.

Has anyone found a remedy for either of these things?
