The Steam Controller keeps on getting better and better, the latest update is pretty fancy too. You can now take your custom configurations with you, and customize the turn on and turn off sound as well as the brightness of the Steam button. You can also now share non-Steam game configs.
Probably one of the most useful updates to the controller to date, and it has made me pretty happy. Although I did get stuck choosing which turn on sound I wanted:
You then have to wait for it to all be moved:
You can change the settings at any time in the new menu when you hover over your controller:
Since I have two controllers here, this makes it much more useful to find out which is which. As you get this new pop-up come up:
The controller isn't permanently tied to your account either, as you can de-register it from your account at any point by going over the registered account, and pressing X.
Still my favourite gamepad ever. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I already love my Steam Controller and it just keeps getting better. I recently used it to play through all of Bound by Flame and it worked wonderfully for that.

Quoting: CreakI'm so sad that Broforce and Super Meat Boy don't detect the Steam Controller on my machine (Fedora 23 64-bits) :(
My steam controller is working fine with these games, did you try with big screen to play these games?
Somehow my steam controller is working as a mouse outside steam :D

[OFFTOPIC] TheBoss, I see a Super Bock beer in your Avatar. I like a lot this Portuguese Beer. You should try Estrella Galicia (in all of its variants)

Yup, I did... I got it running on other game though (well... only Team Fortress actually...) and I also have the same behavior on desktop (i.e. working as a mouse). Do you also have Fedora 23?
Edit: I can also use the Steam Controller in BattleBlock Theater.
