A new video has surfaced of the Steam Controller being used with the motion controls, it's not a Linux game, but it looks very slick, and I will for sure be testing this out in games myself.
I wasn't really too fussed about it, but seeing this video has completely changed my mind about the motion controls in the controller. I'm even more excited to give it a try now, I just hope it works as well as it does in this Windows game, for Linux games.
If you have one available currently, try getting a video of this in a Linux game and we will give it a shout out. Otherwise you can wait for mine to arrive next month.

Quoting: mr-eggI still think valve should of rolled their own Linux desktop distro and integrated it tightly with their own DE, compositor + apps and their steam client with two boot up menus, one for desktop and one for big picture.They did. It's called SteamOS.

It's way more responsive than the SIXAXIS ever was! Works well in the Portal 2 recommended template, but I haven't yet nailed down a nice setup for DiRT Showdown (only messed around for 5-10 minutes though).

Yeah, the motion controls work great with Project Cars! Hope, we can play it on Linux soon.

After seeing this, I'm sold on the controller now. It's strange that this feature wasn't advertised more, because it's a killer feature in my book.
I would be interested to know how well it works with Dirt Showdown?

I think Valve won't talk much about till till release and IGN and PC Gamer are idiots that wrote reviews of the controller based on something like two hours of play with main gripe: "not Xbox 360 controller". Btw don't get me wrong - I love my 360 gamepad but this is ridiculous.

Remind me to test that when mine arrives.

So somewhat related: does the haptic feedback work on Linux? I don't really feel anything, even when set to high. I can hear it though, so I'm not sure if my thumb is just not picking it up. Or it might not be working properly. I don't really know. I've read great things about the feedback, so I'm a bit disappointed.

I've read great things about the feedback, so I'm a bit disappointed.It does. It's worked for me perfectly in Ubuntu 15.04, Kubuntu 15.04 and SteamOS. It's completely different from a normal gamepad rumble though, much closer to what you get while typing on an Android phone's keyboard. It is quite light though, so can be missed in the heat of a game, but I've at least grown somewhat used to its feedback, enough to know which emulated button I'm on most of the time.

Yup, it works, but it's a lot trickier than using the stick! I've uploaded a controller setup that's a bit more nuanced that the one that was there already by "jorge", to allow for finer movements, but it still takes a lot of practice.
